Music Library Giveaway (Ends August 31st)

Hi fellow RPG lovers, hope you are all well!

Some of you may have seen the free RPG orchestral music library I've slowly been releasing. Recently, I have had the time to update this library, fully remastering it and adding in several new tracks (41 in total!). You could say, the library has been ...

... Reborn ...



- - - - -

My lack of originality aside, I wanted to run a giveaway alongside the release for any developers that want a copy of the library. There are multiple ways to enter, and a winner will be drawn from each entry method on September 1st. Some ways to enter are:

1) Listen to the Soundcloud playlist and drop a comment on your favourite track

2) Listen to the YouTube playlist and drop a comment on your favourite track.

And a few other ways in the website link above, but I also wanted to do a special entry method for those that only browse the RPG Maker forums, so another way to enter is simply:

3) Comment on this thread!

Let me know your favourite / least favourite tracks, if you have any suggestions for future tracks or styles, whether I missed any essential themes, or what your favourite soundtracks / RPGs are (Golden Sun, Bravely Default and Octopath get my votes!)

Entries end on August 31st.

On September 1st, I will use a random number generator to pick a comment in this thread and they will get a copy of the library. After their response, I will update this thread to announce who won.

If anyone has any questions, comments, feedback, suggestions, woes, troubles, problems, headaches and so on, just let me know!

I checked with a mod beforehand, but if there are any problems with this post, do feel free to zap it (preferably with a high mana spell!)

FAQ

Where can I use these tracks?
These tracks can be used in any project! While they are intended for use in video games, they can be used in other mediums (if you can make them fit, I applaud you!)

It's free?! Are you pulling my leg? :O
Yep - it's free! The .MP3 versions of the tracks are completely free to download and use, but you can also grab higher quality versions of the recordings for a small price (including an .OGG file, and the original .WAV file).

Is this music royalty-free?
Yep - entirely! The tracks I release in this library are all royalty-free! I have released the free MP3s under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license (see the question below) so you do need to credit the track(s), but otherwise, there is nothing else you have to do!

Do I have to credit/attribute you if I use these in my video game?
For the free MP3s, yes! A lot of blood, sweat and English tea went into creating these tracks, so if you use them, do please mention the track(s) in the credits list. A good format is:

"(Track Title)"

Can you compose a new track for my project?
I most certainly can! Feel free to check out my commissions page, or contact me here or on my website!

This is AWESOME! I love you!
And I love you, random citizen! But seriously, if you like my work and would like to support my work, do please consider grabbing one of the higher quality versions of these tracks, or support me on Patreon for extra stuff!

With each track you'll get a computer-generated recording in a format of your choosing (if the track is loopable, it will be looped seamlessly once), as well as regular previews of the work in progress and the option to give feedback and suggest small changes!

There are several optional additions available if you want some extra materials, such as the full score/sheet music, sound design for your game, a higher quality recording, etc. - all listed on the commissions page above!
