FOSS gamedev and creative worlds

Greetings everyone ! My name's Dogers . Yesterday , I was browsing the Ubuntu.fr game repository when I found Minetest (http://doc.ubuntu-fr.org/minetestc55) . I really like this project or more exactly its goal . That's why I want to give my help by contributing to this project .

Since the game has no sound , I want help to solve it ! I am compositor , voice actor and I can also make Sound FX , textures and I know a little about Blender 3D .

So , this is a little overview of what I can do for Minetest (direct links) :

or if the first link doesn't work for everyone :

This is an example of ambient music I can make for Minetest .

Tell me if you like ;) (and by the way , sorry for my possible language mistakes) !

It's great! I like your music, it would be great if yoou become minetest compositor.

by **Dogers** » Mon Jun 20, 2011 13:14

Thanks , and for my part it would be truly an honour !

by **neko259** » Mon Jun 20, 2011 13:19

Making animation and sound is the great part to make minetest playable.

Very nice piece. Hope this makes sense, but it seems a bit to "noisy" for ambient music. Not loudness but it seems like when the bells come in, it doesn't seem very ambient.

Love the track though, I'll have it in my music folder ;p

by **Dogers** » Mon Jun 20, 2011 13:35

Yeah , I guess you're right . Tomorrow I think I will start to write another one , in a more "ambient style" .

by **cisoun** » Tue Jun 21, 2011 12:55

Nice song! How did you write it? zynaddsubfx? rosegarden?

by **Dogers** » Tue Jun 21, 2011 13:28

I use Audacity (http://audacity.sourceforge.net/) and MuseScore (http://musescore.org/) , this is like Rosegarden , but I prefer the GUI of MuseScore :) .

I've just finished my new music . This one , could be perfectly match with a big snowy territory :

or this one :

Note : Before start listening this track , try to imagine a huge northern snowy land , with iceberg and glacier . When you have this in mind , start the music and enjoy .

I hope you will like it !

Sounds pretty good. If I may offer one criticism: you are trying too hard to make the music sound interesting and I think it would fit the game better if you tried to make it more relaxing. Slow it down and make it more sparse and subtle.

by **Dogers** » Tue Jun 21, 2011 16:44

Okay , I got it !

by **Dogers** » Mon Jun 27, 2011 13:19

Sorry for my absence , i was running test on my new Debian computer .

So , here is my new music :

or

I have continued in the way of a more classic and "ambient" music .

Tell me if you like !

I also thought of doing some textures for the game. I have a large collection of public domain sounds, they may be useful too.
But if we want to get attention we should move this thread to the development section ;)

by **Dogers** » Mon Jun 27, 2011 17:32

How , can I move this thread if I’m not a moderator ?

by **kddekadenz** » Mon Jun 27, 2011 18:01

Just ask a moderator to move the thread ;)

by **Dogers** » Tue Jun 28, 2011 06:47

Thanks for the recommendation , I've sent a demand to a moderator !

Edit : Thanks to the moderator to have move this thread :) !

by **Dogers** » Tue Jun 28, 2011 13:10

I have made a new one , but this one is in a bit different style , this is something more "silent" :

or

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=ZETXXX5V

I don't know what I will do for my next release , maybe an other music , or sound effect or maybe i will try to do some textures .

by **kddekadenz** » Tue Jun 28, 2011 17:07

I started working on new textures, I will upload a preview in a few days. After I'm finished, I will also make a HD-texturepack.
I like most of your music you done for minetest. especially the new one. Suggestion: You should try some forest themed song :)

by **Dogers** » Tue Jun 28, 2011 18:34

Yeah ! Great idea ! I will make a forest themed music for the next time !

by **Dogers** » Wed Jun 29, 2011 13:09

I've just finished the forest themed music :

Thanks to "kddekadenz" for giving me idea :D !

I'm back ! Sorry for my absence , my motherboard has burnt while I was making sounds-FX .

For my return I've composed a new ambient-music in order to wait for my sounds-FX .

This one is for cave-themed areas . Imagine you are exploring a cave and you just find a huge sink-hole that you just can't see you floor below , and you start to go down ...

-Player

-Monster

I hope you will like it !

The ambients are awesome :D They scared the hell out of me!
But the construct, mining and step-sounds have to be improved, they sound very identically.
However I near future I will upload some free to use sounds, too (mainly battle and inventory sounds).
I also will upload a 16px texturepack.

P.S.: Under which license you released the sounds and music? Can I use it for other games and videos, too?

by **Dogers** » Thu Jul 28, 2011 14:14

All my musics and sounds on this topic are released under GNU-GPLv3 License , so do what you want with these sounds :) !

by **kddekadenz** » Thu Jul 28, 2011 16:36

Thank you very much Dogers :D
As promised I uploaded also some free to use Sounds (CC0)
EDIT: Updated! Added more step/building sounds.

by **Dogers** » Tue Aug 09, 2011 08:22

I have tested (I have not responded before because Steekr won't work with me) your sounds kddekadenz , they rocks ! I go hang myself if they are not included !

For my contribution , I've have made a new music , this is a music for the tittle screen :

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=O4MPQSKT

Enjoy !

For ma next submission , I will try to make new atmosphere and and ambient-hit sounds .

by **Dogers** » Wed Aug 10, 2011 13:46

I've just finished my Minetest-SFX2 pack . This one contents new Ambient-Hit and atmosphere sounds :

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=1A859Y2Y

Enjoy !

by **kddekadenz** » Mon Aug 15, 2011 13:38

Thank you. I hope it's gona be to be included....
The download was somehow corrupted, it wasn't only you.
Your new music is quite awesome, too.
But when I try to download the SFX-2 pack it just shows me this message:

The file you are trying to access is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later.

by **Dogers** » Mon Aug 15, 2011 15:00

Damned !

https://sites.google.com/site/bideprod/bide-prod-creation/Minetest-SFX2.7z?attredirects=0&d=1

This one should works !

by **kddekadenz** » Mon Aug 15, 2011 16:07

Kinda funny that nearly the same happened to you :D

To the sounds: Most of them don't fit to Minetest in my opinion. They sound very industrial and should be useful for some Ego-Shooter (they remember me at Halo 1)
The Minetest - Ocean.ogg sounds like a dragon floating in the forest :D

I hope the audio system will be implemented in the next version.
