Famicuber | 54 Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 Here it is folks! Below the post is a mp3 file of the chiptune holiday classic along with an NES ROM! A rendition of "12 Days of Christmas" in not just it's European sounding glory but filled with style references as well, maybe you might recognize a couple. The NES Demo ROM didn't go exactly as planned and ended up being rushed, hence the meh-ish graphic, but that's not important anyways. The sound engine I developed plays the tune exactly as planned and it works on hardware. Here's an image of the ROM playing on my PowerPak via. an AV Famicom. The MP3 itself was recorded from MESEN. Hope you'll enjoy the tune, I had fun writing and tediously converting it to NES and enjoyed spreading the Christmas cheer. Stay safe and Happy Holidays.

That's a very bold assumption of you to make, hahaha. Nah, I just know that Famicuber thoroughly kicked my still work in progress entry in the ass.

Jeevan | 8,910 Events Helper · Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 Don't worry @ZeldaFreak unless @spacepup has finished his rework or whatever he was working on, then you can have @Famicuber's scraps lol. Anyway, just kidding.......... Hope to see these entries soon and vote..... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zi | 144 Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 Best christmas album of all time? Sia's 2017 "Everyday is Christmas" with it's modern pop sensibility, nostalgic (and sometimes depressed) tone, and some classic Sia (if that's a thing). I've never used online sequencer so I gave it a shot: http://onlinesequencer.net/1761383 and the original video, which is totally worth a watch: Great job everyone, it's very cool to see folks diving in with Famitracker! Merry Christmas!!! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've got some serious art skill with animating Rudolph: the R-Type Reindeer who I also love. It really gets to show that you don't need to have a complex European sounding tune like mine to make it charming. Also It's christmas! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No fancy expansion sound chips required. Just the good ol' 2a03 w/out PCM. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZeldaFreak | 3,600 Events Team · Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 Really workin' hard on my entry, trying to complete it in time. Not sure if I'm gonna make the deadline. Maybe @Deadeye can make a small exception for me if I end up being a couple hours late, haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeldaFreak | 3,600 Events Team · Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 Yup, definitely not going to be able to fully finish mine in time for the deadline, so I suppose here's my entry for now just in case Deadeye is very strict about the deadline and doesn't give me a bit of leeway there, haha. https://onlinesequencer.net/1765398 I call it Very Merry Holiday Cheer. The idea behind it was that I would combine 10-20 second portions of some of the most popular and/or some of my personal favorite Christmas songs in to one song, sort of like a greatest hits of Christmas songs, but in chiptune form. I still have 6 more songs I need to put in there though, and progress on it has been pretty slow, so I decided to just go ahead and stick the ending on there and call it a day just so I can at least make sure I get an entry in before the deadline. I'm still planning on working on this through all of tonight though, and I hope to have it fully completed by tomorrow morning. I really hope I at least get, like, third place for this. I've spent hours and hours on this thing, haha. I've spent almost all day and night working on it, I've sacrificed sleep just to make sure I could get this in a presentable form in time for the deadline. I'm sure a more experienced musician could get this sort of thing done in no time flat, but an experienced musician I am not. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-Pac | 7,533 Graphics Team · Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 @ZeldaFreak - man that turned out so cool.

Even though it's well past the deadline now, I'm still gonna complete it so you guys can at least hear what it would've sounded like if I had managed to complete it in time.
