Which music pieces should make it into the game?

[m-m-0-m]

This issue is meant to go through the #music Discord channel (on the Cubyz Discord server and anywhere else users submit their music pieces with the intention of them potentially being added to Cubyz) and answer the following:

1. Which pieces should be in the game?
2. Which biome or setting should each play in?

As of yet, there is no formalized way in which this is done, and the game has basically accepted any music put into a PR by a user. However, the influx of users since the October 5th 0.0.0 update has caused this solution to not be sustainable. There are several pieces that have been posted in the ⁠music channel that have not been added to the game, and some that are in the game but could be removed (such as those by Kevin MacLeod, as suggested by Quantum).

A list of eligible Cubyz music pieces (incomplete)

This list consists of all music pieces in the #music Discord channel* that can be used, as assumed given they are the following:

1. Intended to be used in Cubyz
2. Complete (not WIP)

*A few of the pieces were never sent in the Discord channel.

*These exist in SoundCloud links.
**This piece was not given a name. It was sent in a video called 1760806926.mp4.
***2nd iter can be found in FLAC; see the section of the list for lossless file types.

Anyone uploading music in the ⁠music channel for Cubyz should also be aware that the music will fall under the GPL-3 license (in this repository, see ⁠this message).
If music in the above list is NOT meant for Cubyz, I can edit it out.

If a piece is sent in more than one file type, the most preferable (lossless>OGG>other) is taken. If it is sent in more than one version, where the newer version is meant to be an improvement, the newer version is taken. However, if the newer version is simply an alternative, both audio files are referenced for the same piece. There are also a few pieces not included due to the presence of a different game in their titles (or another potential indicator), causing me to assume they were not intended for use in Cubyz.

To help this list expand, you can send me a list of data for each of the four cells (number, name, composer and reference link), and I can do the rest.

Voting

You may cast a vote on each of the music pieces in the above list, deciding whether or not they make it into the game. See this message for details.

Note that in the future it would be best to require people to upload music exclusively in a lossless format (flac might be a good idea to not be as big as raw wav), since compression is now done automatically and consistently.

I've went ahead and reviewed every song that was submitted after October 1st.
Those that are missing are either unfinished songs, not for Cubyz, or don't really fit The Vibe™.
(Or I completely missed it on accident)

Here are the ones that most fit Cubyz. Checked boxes indicate that the artist has given consent to have their work used in the game:

• Sunshower by Mischol
• The Deepest Ascent by SebastianSound
• Depth of Mind by cruz
• Crystal Webs by cruz
• MoonLitten-Ice by OgStardong
• Slimy Frogs by BigStinkyDEVIOUSRodentOfEvilAndDespair
• Session by madception (I know it's just a doodle, but it sounds perfect.)
• Through Hollow Ground
• Pano by veridisquo1997
• Mike Morasky Type Track by veridisquo1997 and Xdoku
• The Foreign Depths by veridisquo1997
• Reflect Infinity by Big Stinky Dinks

Songs that are fitting to Cubyz, but do not fit gameplay yet or needs more work:

• Junk by Lolmasplay (Needs a proper ending)
• 2step by quilters (Would be good for intense situations)
• Treasured by Expergetech (could use a better drum sample and mixing)
• Artifact by Expergetech (could use a better drum sample and mixing)
• Cotoe Vykricnicek by TotallyDemented (needs to be mixed louder and exported at a higher quality)
• Fire Forge by duck7131 (mixing needs much work/too harsh/too bright)
• amb211 by quilters (needs a proper fade-out. Also would work in dangerous/mysterious places.
• thing by veridisquo1997 (good concept, just needs more work)
• Dusty Crystals by H2_AIL (not complete according to its creator)
• Change_test04 by H2_AIL (not complete according to its creator)
• Cryogenisis-Remastered (fade-out is abrupt, bright and thin at parts)

All the musicians did a really fantastic job with these songs.

I also have a song that was submitted to me via dms by a fellow named Qonundrai!
