Overview
Empires currently has a small amount of music, and we are looking to expand on this. Being a freely available mod, there is no budget to pay for a 'professional', so please refrain from posting offers that require such funds. Also note that songs will not be used without express permission from the authors, and authors will receive full credit for their pieces, if used.
Feel free to add yourself or other information to this page.
Artists
The following people have offered their talents:
Name: Christiaan "AniCator" Bakker Status: Active Links: AniCator's Website Original thread (contains most of the tracks) Last.FM 'Empires' Album page More tracks by AniCator
Name: ghost12332 Status: Possibly working on procedurally generated music. Links: Offer to contribute Songs
Name: Johnsky Status: Waiting on new studio software Links: Johnsky's blog Offer to contribute
Name: Tovarich Cookie Status: Unknown Links: Offer to contribute
Name: [PRKL] Werihukka Status: Working on NF/BE victory anthems (maybe done?) Links: Offer to contribute Various songs (including the anthems)
What is music needed for?
Empires is divided into various segments:
- main menu (probably won't change)
- credits
- pre-game & voting period
- first few minutes ("breakout" period)
- after the first few minutes (currently no music at all)
- countdown to commander sudden death (300 seconds)
- commander sudden-death mode
- NF/Brenodi win (almost national anthem type?)
Potentially, there could be a full in-game soundtrack if enough songs are created. This would be completely optional for the people that don't like music while they play.
