Re: M.C.'s "Mario Music" SNES Arrangement Gallery (Still Alive! 12/29/2015)
Oh my heavens! Operations wise on this thread, I can't believe it's been almost one year and this has been collecting dust all this time?! Yeah, it's definitely been long-time-no-post around these parts (especially on
this thread)... even to the point of some folks thinking "is this thing that M. C.'s doing
really dead?" Well this post is the answer that no, I am
seriously not dead, and neither is this operation I'm doing. But other "personal situations" have been getting in my way ever since my last actual update before 2014 came to a close; not to mention that a certain part of those situations have attempted to kill my enthusiasm for this thing... and I mean
literally. Obviously, I won't say the "details" about them here, but I will say that I have been (and still am) feverishly sorting them out so that I'll be back at full strength for the 2016 year itself when it comes.
However, that does not mean that I've been sitting idly on the sidelines either. Case in point, during the past one to two months, I've been getting back into the "SNES music style arrangement groove" (albeit slowly) targeting the musical score of
Super Mario 3D World. The bulk of my "first batch" of targets has been done on the backend; I just need to target two more (they're simple ones; no, I won't disclose what they are), then I can see about
finally doing the "finalizing" of these files to share with you all before 2015 comes to a close in just a few days.
But before I can proceed to post said files for you to check out, I have two important things to deal with "operations wise", which is the
actual announcement, which I'll detail below.
(1) The "file links" themselves on the backend which hosts my music stuff for this thread has gone through a "restructuring" since a few months ago, and as a result, the download/counters for them have been reset (which tell me how many times you all have downloaded/viewed the said files, also telling me which installments have been of high interest to you all, music wise). To that event, I'm going to have to take the files themselves offline temporarily and reupload them again so I can get the new links and update the topic starters for this thread. In the meantime, you're still able to see about getting the music files that you're looking for at my
"home base" for these operations overall, which you're still invited to check out and also join the forum community there (which we
still need new members to this day, but that's for another day; but please don't hesitate to join us there too).
(2) You may have noticed that the "header images" for this thread may have changed slightly. There's good reason for that: first, the previous image host was going through a "restructuring" themselves and as a result "terminated" my account that was hosting them. Thankfully, I have an
alternate active image hosting account which brings me to number two: it also came at a very interesting time since after nearly six years, the "header images"
themselves needed an update. The past years had me using materials corresponding with the
Super Paper Mario installment. Now they're using the hand-drawn materials that coincide with the "modern"
Super Mario series' overall (which for the most part,
most of the icons involved for the new header images I've uploaded to the alternate image hosting account that I have were
also featured as correspondence to
Super Mario 3D World, which is the very same installment that I'm feverishly attempting to finish up the "first batch" of SNES music style arrangement targets for! I know, it's very insane.). Anyway, as stated earlier in this post, I'm definitely looking forward to sharing the "first batch" of SNES music style arrangement stuff targeting the
Super Mario 3D World musical score very soon after I finish updating the existing links on the topic starters and "finalizing" the files that I have currently on standby.
I do apologize if this is a
really huge wall of text, but the bottom line is that I'm still here and preparing to get this back into action full force before 2015 is over. Watch for it. I'll keep you all posted, of course; however, if you have any further questions about said announcement I have here, please don't hesistate to reply on this thread or send me a PM if there's something that isn't suitable to be shared publically on this board itself. I'm out for now, everyone; I'll see you all later.
I will say that the song in question has been on my radar for YEARS. No joke.
