Best SubAmbient Contest!

Best SubAmbient Contest!

Here are the rules thus far, subject to change if you all think we should change them.

Two ambients go against each other to move on to the next round in their game division. We take votes as a forum, and first ambient to reach 5 (subject to change based on activity) votes moves on. One vote per user per pair of ambients.

This is gonna be bracket-style, by individual game, then we'll take all the top individual game winners and pit them against each other. (The final bracket won't happen until after Sub10 is released for this reason) I will (hopefully) update the brackets regularly Someday we'll find out what we think the best Submachine ambient is!

Alright so here is the full list, based on when they first appeared in the order of the games listed. Feel free to make edits and ask questions about the list before we get started. In particular I want to know if we should include Future Loop Foundation's tracks.

(notice that Sub1 only has one ambient, so that one wins )

In particular I want to know if we should include Future Loop Foundation's tracks.

why shouldn't we?

[Jatsko]

Eh idk

I introduced that question just to get a response about this from someone other than myself. lol

[Sublevel 113]

my opinion: we shouldn't include SNEE tracks.

and forest is from Sub1
and why u don't want to include radio music from Sub1, for example?

oh, and of course there should be FLF

Edit:

Lighthouse Extended. I s it that 5 minutes track by Thumpmonks?

529 Basement Section. Isn't it the same with lighthouse sewers?

should we include alternatives?

[Jatsko]

1. Why don't you want to include SubVerse tracks? (granted, it would save a LOT of time, but if we're including tracks by Future Loop Foudnation, why not include from other sources besides Thumpmonks too?)

2. Whoops, forgot about the Sub1 stuff. Here is revised list for Sub1 and Sub2:

Submachine 1
Basement (Sub1)
Forest
Spoon Tune (lol!)

Submachine 2
Menu (Sub2)
Intro (Sub2)
Lighthouse
Lighthouse Extended
461 Sewers
Second Floor
Radio (Sub2)
Scare
Outro (Sub2)

3. So, sounds like all FLF tracks are go then. (Good, they're some of my favorites )

4. Lighthouse Extended is indeed the 5 minute long track.

5. The Lighthouse Sewers 461 do not have the added synth tones present in 529.

The ambient in the basement section is a remix of the "Sewers" theme from Submachine 2. This background, with added underlying faint scraping sounds also has two new alternating open tones, being B flat and A natural.

[Sublevel 113]

when will you start?

[Jatsko]

I assume that means everything else looks good? (We can worry about the SubVerse discussion at another point)

[Sublevel 113]

*comparing with my list*

well, we can throw out minor ambiences (pipe sound, etc).

Section (Sub7) is outro?

Ancient Ruins and 104 Ancient Section aren't the same?

Stereo ‘72 - ?
Everything As It Should - ?
Be - ?

[Jatsko]

Section is same as Super Secret Bonus Section; I copied the list from a Word document with indents that didn't copy over.

Same with FLF: Stereo '72 is the official name for the first ambient in the original version.

Everything As It Should Be (again, Word transfer typo, sorry) is the same as the Guitar strings melody.

Now that you brought it up, should we include Sub7 actual Outro? (electrical sounding sound?) And does that mean we should include Sub4HD Outro (similar electrical sound) as well?

Ancient Ruins and Ancient Section are different ambiences. Same goes for Lighthouse Sewers and Basement Section.
