The Dark Side of the Sun: L'Attaque des Lucioles (Attack of the Fireflies in English) is an upcoming new 3D game for Windows and Xbox 360 (yes we'll probably put it for sale on the Xbox Marketplace) about spaceships shooting each other and trying to capture the enemy base. There's planets you can capture and put turrets on them, much like Tower Defence. Coming soon in March 2012! I'll tell you more soon as the game gets developed by the game studio I'm part of. (Actually it just my class acting exactly like a game studio. :P We are 15 to work on it and it's the goal to produce a game like it was produced by a real game studio. My college is awesome lol :P)
Also, do you want to have your song featured in the OST of game made professionnally? Look no further! I'm in charge of the soundtrack and I'm searching good and original songs to put in the game. It could be spacey, quiet and warriorish since the game (which you lost BTW :P) is set in space, but it could be anything since I might implement a car radio in the spaceship. So your song must:
- Be original (made by you or your friend if he consents). You could make some obscure winks to other songs such as Never Gonna Give You Up somewhere in your song, though.
- Be submitted by email, PM or on this thread before March. (There's no set date, but I want them the fastest possible.)
- It can be already released somewhere before, as it can be unreleased before.
- By submitting your song, you give us the right to put it in the game and an eventual OST album (I don't guarantee it'll appear in the game and OST album for sure though. I might accept all the songs submitted or none of them).
And who knows, your song could be featured as the main theme of the game!

Dark side of the sun? Doesnt make much sense XD
Hm, maybe ill try composing something sometime....

Haha yeah that's why we picked that name :P
-
Does the song have to be rather speedy or something like Eurobeat or some of my faster metal songs?
Also I didn't realize firefly was such weird word in French O.O
-
No, something slow would fit, I think that's what the team wants.
-
Ah ok, then a tune from me might be out of the question since I tend to not be very good for slow stuff. D:
Also screenshots :P
-
Yeah. You could fit in the car radio though. And there's not a lot of stuff done atm, you might expect some serious progress by Monday. With screenies, who knows
And firefly = mouche à feu = luciole. Yet another word that sounds more badass in English than in French.

You can use my song "Silence Waltz". :D

It fits pretty well as the main menu theme, thanks Yeong :)

You're welcome. :)

Yay necropost. Just to say that I was looking back in the project's Dropbox folder because I just remembered of it (oh, good times). First of all, Dropbox is the worst revision control system ever for shared, 15-person projects. Therefore, the folder got filled up with a whole load of DSotS folders everywhere and more often than not, someone was overwriting someone else's changes, while someone was attempting to merge everything correctly, despite my warning to use a real version control system such as Git or SVN. But no, nobody bothered to learn Git because we didn't had time. (Hey it takes only like, 5 minutes.) And now, I'm kinda confused of which one is the right, latest working folder. That's kinda why it failed, it was too ambitious, we had to do everything in something like 10 weeks and we didn't had a real revision control.
And that's how not to do a huge project, my friends. I might try to recover something from that folder and publish it.
-
That's why sometimes I'm not a big fan of team projects. It can get messy really quick if you don't be careful. D:
Hopefully you can release something from what remains of the project, though.
-
Dropbox can definitely be a nightmare for teams :P
I'll have to take a look into git or something for some projects. :P
-
I remember people used Dropbox a lot, but recently I've indeed be hearing about team projects mishaps with it. Team projects in general are hard to manage properly, though, which is why almost all of them never get completed.
-
That's why I always use Git, Git is the best :3

git is wonderful for projects in my experience though I have none with team projects
-
Heh, I have a secret little *cough*team project*cough* in the works. :P
*ahem*
We're using Dropbox to share the project, but it's looking like Git would be much, much better.
