Description

Hey hey hey! Welcome! Aim for the Stars is a review of RMN’s present and future music events.

Here you can find a recap of what Summoner of Sounds - RMN's current music event series - has so far produced, and information about the future of RMN Music Pack 2: the community's next big music collaboration!

By participating in this event you can affect the development process of RMN Music Pack 2, give feedback to the composers, and win yourself a ticket to the Star raffle.




Summoner of Sounds is a series of community events where video game music has been celebrated by the means of craftsmanship and community interaction.

In Summoner of Sounds the community members with experience in music production have been dared to participate in monthly changing challenges testing their ability to perform well as a versatile video game composer, while the game developers with other areas of expertise have been encouraged to analyze the challenges, and provide the composers with commentary, feedback and constructive criticism.

The event series has entered its ninth chapter and is nearing completion.

So far the yields are:

  • Over 132 tracks of video game music by 46 participants!

  • Over 395 messages of commentary and feedback!

  • Over 58 Favorites given and received!




We have a raffle with two copies of Stardew Valley and one copy of StarCrawlers and Eden Star as the prizes.

-



The purpose of this event is to shed more (star)light to the musical creations of the community and encourage people to come in touch with their creators, so what you have to do in order to enter the Star Raffle is to hand out some stars!


  • Listen to the entries submitted to the Summoner of Sounds event, pick your favorite ones and describe them in your post.

  • To gain a ticket to the raffle, pick at least three favorites and give each one a star.

  • You may comment, post feedback and pick any amount of favorites by handing out stars, but you may only gain one ticket to the raffle in total.


  • Specify which game you want to receive.


  • The raffle will be held on 2nd of May 2016 as this event is over!


  • Additionally, the following achievements are obtainable through this event:



































































































































































RMN Music Pack 2 will be the second entry in the RMN Music Pack series which is aimed to offer the community a selection of decent quality musical resources for free use.

RMN Music Packs are constructed as collaborative effort in community events that run for limited time periods.
The construction of RMN Music Pack 2 will begin this summer with some updates and improvements to its format.

This time around the plan is to make it possible for everyone in the community to be a bit more involved, even if they aren't music producers:

  • The new music pack will need new cover artwork which follows the style of the first album. You can vote for the theme of the next cover right here!


  • You can also make your voice heard in what sort of music you'd like the next album to include. Vote in this topic!




And lastly, you can help us arrange events such as RMN Music Pack, Summoner of Sounds and RMN Music Pack 2 by donating to the cause and becoming "Guardian of The Groove."

Every penny counts and the money will be used first and foremost to have artwork to go with the music and then to offer rewards for participating members. Any extra funds to the cause will be spent on future RMN Music events.

To get the Guardian of the Groove achievement you have to PM Happy after the transaction goes through, so that he knows to apply the benefits to your RMN account.


Thank you everyone! Don't forget to check out Summoner of Sounds which is still running and nearing its final chapter! Let's keep this show rolling!

The raffle is here! To pick the names I used an RM VX Ace game that picks a random number between 1 and 16 four times and makes sure there aren't duplicate entries:



And the winners are...



Craze, Dragonsprit99, TungerManU and Illy!


Congratulations to the winners!


... and because everyone wants a copy of Stardew Valley... We have to do some more raffling!



Craze and Illy are entitled to copies of Stardew Valley, while Eden Star goes to TungerManU and Star Crawlers to Dragonsprit99.

Whether you want to swap the prizes with each other, or want the game you won, let me know.

Thanks to everyone for participating! See you around in the coming music events! And of course if you want you can still give the composers comments and feedback in the Summoner of Sounds event page. It will be much appreciated!
Yay! I love you guys, but I really was hoping to land Stardew so I can start streaming alongside Libby. If I wasn't so financially unstable, I'd just buy it and happily hand off this copy to one of the other entries but that just isn't the case. Great event though, Happy!

Just continue on the SoS event page! The comments that have been made here will be counted towards the SoS achievements as well and I have notified about this event on the SoS page, too, so it shouldn't be too hard for the composers to find part of the feedback from here.
Gotcha! Thanks :)

Trading prizes with other winners is up to them at this point! You'll have to wait for Craze's response, if you'd prefer to have Stardew Valley. He won it fair and square though, so if he decides to keep it that's entirely justifiable as well though.

I'm sorry friend, I have decided to keep my copy. It is entirely possible you could keep the game you won as a gift copy and trade it with someone at a future date later, possibly even for Stardew!

Weird. I thought I was the only one in the raffle for Eden Star. Still, congrats to the winners! What really matters is that the compositions are amazing.

I picked all the winners from one same pool to give everyone an equal chance to win something. Especially since we had this low participation count.
