    It's a very brief preview, as there's a lot of music in this one. Please enjoy...

    Can either of you guys recommend an alternate solution? I might just be able to get by with either a user group here on TA or even a google group.

    I get picked plenty of times. But iBetaTest is not a site I would go on everyday.
    Just make Toucharcade beta group

    I'm definitely going to create a TA group to help facilitate communication. I'm more worried about file distribution though when getting the builds out. I'll check and see what other devs have had success with. :D

    Ha, I didn't know you were a dev pharmx :eek:

    But this is looking pretty cool :) I'm not a huge fan of word games, but it looks like the way you are presenting this one could make it appeal to a wider audience. Keep up the good work!

    And as has been mentioned...imo the name has to go

    +1 Lets just use a social group. And about sending files: You can just use those online file hosting service sendit or something.

    Hey guys, did anyone get a chance to check out the music? The link is in Dren's post and the first post. Would love some feedback on whether it fits the theme or if we should change it up a bit.

    the music is just wonderfull...I personally love the third the best.

    Though I think you should have something more faster paced for when you do battle

    Tracks 1 and 4 sounded very dark and surreal, they reminded me of the Twin Peaks soundtrack. I like track 2 the best definitely, it was a bit more upbeat and felt more like a fantasy piece. Track 3 I did not like at all, it didn't sound fantasy at all and overall just didn't sound cool at all.

    There's a short loop that I can use for battles. It's faster paced, more percussive, and has some tension to it. I'm still deciding how to distribute the audio across the game, and across the 3 different game modes.


    That pic you posted is nice! The icon has already been designed for the app, and while it doesn't really convey the "fusion" type of theme, it does coordinate nicely with the UI theme.

    It's funny that skyye liked track 3 the best while you liked it the least. :D

    Originally when I asked Dren to create the tracks, I told him that I wanted something similar to the Dexter theme (the one that plays during the dvd menu) but with some hip hop flavor.

    After hearing some of the samples though, I decided against the ones that were drum/bass heavy and went with more of an orchestral feel.

    Lol, yes, that was pretty darn funny since I looked at your post asking for opinions on the music and made my posting and then looked at the other postings.
