Long Overdue 2018 Update (Advance Q3 Torrent + Exclusive Preview)
🕑 Added 2018-11-08 18:56:38 +0000 UTC
It's been too long...
I apologize for the lack of updates to you, our most critical fans & supporters who ensure that we can continue our work; most of our staff has been hit hard by real life obligations this year and I've been busy myself finishing up a graduate degree (done) and doing research and development work on a new backend & API for OC ReMix.
As a quick aside on that topic, if you're interested in the technical details: we had done some initial work in 2016/2017 on getting quotes from developers to rework our existing system, and they were in the low five digits. That's $10K, which while we could afford, would represent a serious investment that carried substantial risk. I have instead opted to do this work primarily myself (uncompensated) and with limited hourly-rate assistance from others if and when it is needed. We have decided to utilize Python & the Django framework for this effort - incidentally, one of the creators of Django actually has a featured ReMix on the site: https://ocremix.org/remix/OCR01466 - we believe this choice will provide performance and functionality well into the future.
Still more music...
Okay, enough tech stuff... we recently released Seiken Densetsu 3: Songs of Light and Darkness, which was a huge undertaking, and followed that up with Candy Corn III: Direct to Video for Halloween.
Coming up soon we've got three amazing albums:
- Hometown Heroes: Town Themes Arranged
- Chronopolis (Chrono Cross)
- Arcadia Legends (Skies of Arcadia)
We've got an exclusive preview of selections from Hometown Heroes attached as a WAV file, courtesy album director DaMonz (Emery Monzerol) - it should be a mellow, comfortable, and cool little album!
Chronopolis & Arcadia Legends are both sounding wonderful and the release packages are coming together, so look for them soon as well!

To infinity (okay, 2019) and beyond...
2018 has been a relatively quiet year for us, but we've used that time to position ourselves and begin development towards our larger goals, and we've still managed to post some great albums, a ton of great mixes, etc. What we haven't done is maintained enough contact with you, our supporters. We hope to honor the patience you have had with us with respect, progress, and more regular updates and perks for you. As always, if you have specific suggestions or recommendations, please let us know, and thank you again for your assistance!

I've been unable to download albums from Overclocked Records, which I received as Patreon incentives. Is there any help I could get with this issue? I've trying for weeks to get in contact with anyone.

SD3 release took longer than expected to coordinate, more or less. We've also been discussing potential extra things we can add to the re-releases, beyond just updated tagging. We hope to start rolling out updated releases of our catalog, chronologically, in 2019.

What happened to the plan to update the older albums with the new tag standard?
