I don't usually have the skill to finish a track in a day, but I do enjoy participating when I can. I messed around with Wavetracker yesterday and although I didn't finish anything, I really liked the platform. So if nothing else, I found a new toy!

Ok, I'll try to stop being the NSF-only guy here. The challenge is to submit something every Sunday and every other Tuesday (like today), when I'm relatively free, whatever format is chosen for that day.

Well, I'm about to lose it from the get go, since idk if I can create something in a few hours while learning an interface that can't even be used via mouse (AdLib Tracker II). I may try Furnace if I fail miserabily, however, it'd surprisingly be my first time ever using Furnace, too.

I'll consider myself a winner if I can submit anything.

Update: my time is up, I have to prepare dinner and the time limit will be very close by then. I failed with AdLib Tracker so at least I could mess around a bit with Furnace. Even when Furnace is very user friendly, 9 years of FamiTracker made my workflow difficult and I could only complete a couple of frames. I hope I have better luck next Sunday with whatever format destiny has in store for me.

heads up for today's mod48k: be mindful of the size of the bitpack, I didn't do any trimming or downsampling to the samples myself this time, so you might need to either choose samples carefully or operate on em a little! there's a lot to work with

I give up. I'm overwhelmed. I don't even know where to start in ZQuest. The guide link in the lyceum doesn't work. Tutorials in the net don't even remotely look like the actual editor, nor there's one which guides absolute noobs who have never ever designed anything game related to start from zero.

My time is over, so I'm failing my challenge again T_T (posting an entry every Sunday and one Tuesday out of two). I'll try to compensate for it another day if I'm lucky enough to sneak in some free time. I hope I have better luck on Tuesday with the format.

It is with great sorrow and remorse as the “leading ZQuester of BotB” (there’s only been one battle with it so far and I got the gold somehow lol) that I am unable to make an entry for this day’s advent. I would be more than glad to atone for this by hosting zquest battles in the future (when I eventually get 2 more badges…)

so apparently, "I Spy" is a game. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_spy
I wasn't aware of this, while dami and me put together the bitpacks. I thought it wld be a bitpack asking you to stage photos how you would spy on someone or something.
turns out it is actually a game in english speaking countries.
so be aware everyone

I really loved last year's advent calendar but I couldn't find it in me to submit even a single entry to this one. A little of it is the bitpacks but man these formats were not doing me any favors.

I tried making a Genesis tune but it took forever to export and then I played it back in the wrong thing so I thought the file was corrupted. Half of the formats were "download this hyper specific tool that's only useful for one thing" and I've already installed too many of those. Maybe one day I'll actually get into Wave tracker tho. Last year's advent calendar was sooo much better. I've decided that for this last day it's plaintext or bust. I gotta get at least one entry in

I loved this year's Advent Calendar. Ironically, even without NSF formats, which were the only ones I used to send any entry to, I achieved to submit three entries, more than any other Advent Calendar before. Ok, there was Famistudio, but I'm a FamiTracker boy.

In any case, despite not being able to complete my challenge, I tried one completely new format (new for me, at least, JummBox) and got two other entries in other formats from which I already had some knowledge.

Happy Holidays, minna-san ^^.

@da flarf
how was last years (or any other advent before) not "download this hyper specific tool that's only useful for one thing" as well?
i checked last years schedule and i counted around the same amount of formats that you need very specific tools for that can only be used for that specific format.

and that is... also kinda the nature of botb formats btw. experiment with cryptic and weird tools to craft your stuff. advent calendar was never meant to be a chill path through mostly super accessable formats - its meant to be a surprising journey through the big variety of formats this site has to offer.

that being said, i also see like 50% of formats this time that are doable by using mpt, furnace, random DAW or a text editor or a phone - basically the same amount as last year as well.

if you think last year was sooooooooooooooooo much better, i am struggling to see how, unless it was personal motivation - but that wasnt your point here, i think?
if you enjoyed last year, where half of these formats were mpt/furnace/phone/text editor formats, then you should have had the same amount of doable formats this time as well.

well anyway, if u didnt feel like participating thats fine, but i struggle to see how this years schedule was much worse than last years or any other year before. it has the same amount of variety in tools and classes as any other advent calendars before i would say?


or is it just that we didnt include two times allgear this time?

okay no in all seriousness THIS WAS FUN and was also me first battle so i was quite scared (mainly because you guys are really good at everything!) but im glad i tried out a few formats and the bitpacks for this were quite cwl (zxbeep one was the most challenging one for me)

voting extensions only happen when the average amount of votes per entry feels way too low.
so to avoid a voting extension, use the next 3 weeks to vote.

Hopefully this doesn't come off as a complaint, just looking for some clarification:

Since sample day can't be voted on, does that mean that the sample entries won't count towards badge progress at all? This happened with Chipwrecked too and I'm wondering if it's just a site rule for sample entries in majors to not count, since they're not usually the final product. I would like to know cuz I want to get the sample badge and it would be good to know if doing these in majors even helps toward that goal or not.

i have the voting form on the sample entries so i think you can vote on them ... ?

well, i think the state of sample entries in majors isnt clear atm. ideally, there wld be a difference between a bit ( like chipwrecked was meant to be) and entry ( like it is meant to be in this battle) but the code is definitely not fully working for this right now and im not sure how much puke can do before this battle tallies.

The voting form part was a mistake on my side, I was looking at my own entry 💀

Though it is odd that the sample entries don't show the "?/589" that the others do, which is what set off my concern initially.

@kleeder re: hyper specific tools

For what's it's worth, I like being pushed to download weird shit. I only found out about this site a month ago, submitting to advent was my first time using furnace and since then I've tried two other obscure trackers plus a myriad of chips on furnace. Haven't been this inspired about music for a long time and branching out into tools I'm not comfortable with is a big part of what's fueling the energy.

The other part is being ceaselessly amazed by the level of musicality from people on this site. Truly inspiring. And coming dead last in more than one battle has lit a fire under my feet to up my game.

Love everything people do here and thanks again kleeder for co-hosting advent calendar and everything else to build this strange and wonderful online community.
