I hate to admit it but SCP 096's theme isn't resonating with me. I listened to it a few times and I just don't think it fits him. When I see 096 in his docile state, which I assume you're trying to capture in the music, I think of a subdued ominous threat. Danger lurking just beneath the surface of a deceptively calm creature. The current theme makes me think of it as more of a stalker.

Can I just say that these ambiences are incredible, especially the 173 one. I could imagine that one playing when you enter his room for the first time if the cutscene was made a bit longer. The only one I'm not too sure about is the 096 one. The sort of music that comes to my mind when I see 096 in his docile state is this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gYgNB2CL71A

Aphex Twin sure sets the bar high, but I'll see what I can do. And thank you very much!

Wow, these are really great so far. You manage these so quickly and yet they all are really well done individually. I especially like the 895 one.

Thanks a lot!

Hmm, I see where you're coming from. I'll keep working on it then.

I was just thinking, people clicking on this topic for the first time may be confused since they have to go to the last page to get the song list, so should I start my own topic and keep both the first post and the last post updated? At the same time I hate starting new topics in general as having multiple topics devoted to one thing is wasteful and spams up the forum, as well as having to go between the two topics to look at prior discussion. I'll probably just wait for to see if Regalis intends to use my stuff, and if not I'll just stop making this stuff.

Getting better. I think the beeping effects is what throws me off here. Maybe they could be changed to some unsettling effect. Perhaps something like the subtle violin plucking in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_8Hd6aRkVJw or a low drone.

I had experimented previously with a low drone but primarily found it annoying and distracting and had similar feelings when adding is some plucked strings. I did, however, learn that when you reverb and delay the crap out of a cello it sounds like a whale, but nevermind that. Here it is with the "beeping" removed.

Seems a lot better now and very eerie. I'm not sure what else to suggest to make it better now.

096's theme definately captures the ominous feels now Slagar. Good job in reworking that.

Alright, so here's my thoughts on the current situation:

173, 106, 372, 895, 1025 are basically finished. I'll need to go back and make sure they loop correctly and wait to see if Regalis wants any changes (if he want to use my stuff), but for the most part they're finished.

096 is acceptable but could be better. 914 is awful and needs to be remade, in fact I have the latest version in this post at the bottom.

714 and 076 still need doing, shouldn't be hard.

860 and 860-1 are next priority after the SCPs already in the game along with any other confirmed but not yet added SCPs.

If Regalis intends to use my stuff I imagine the question will arise of where modders will get their themes (if they intend to have them for their custom SCPs), in which case I'd be happy to help if they'd like, but they'd be beneath and in-game or confirmed SCPs for obvious reasons.

Finally comes the speculated SCPs, things like 682 and 513, and I'll only do those if there is a reasonable amount of evidence to suggest they or their containment chambers will be in game.


That said here's the latest incarnation of 914. I tried to make it more upbeat and machine-like while still preserving some degree of ominous clangs to maintain the feel of the game. I could use some criticism or ideas here, as 914 is a real puzzle for me.

Umm... im the one who is working on the SCP-513 implementations. I‘ll send you the ambience. when i‘ll come back. Maybe you could regulate that a bit.
