It was an unpaid commission, but that means I get to keep it. it was still fun to make and I'm happy with how it turned out :D
The aim was to make a video-game-sounding theme. I took inspirations from games like Megaman, which I think came across but I'll let you be the judge.

It took me a while to work out how I was going to put this cover together, and how to put my own spin on it. It's done now fortunately, and I'm happy with how it turned out.
Next up, phase 3 :D

I apologise for the big gap since my last video - there are a number of things that played a part, but ultimately it doesn't matter.
I know most people were expecting my next video to be phase 2 for the Celestial Champion theme, and I do still fully intend to complete it (as well as phase 3 of course!).
Also, shout-out to @Mitch_AF for covering this in chiptune way before I gave it a go. Check out their version here: youtube.com/watch?v=hXtqjCwbvt4

This is only for phase 1 of the fight, but you'd best believe I'll be covering phases 2 and 3 next!
I haven't beat it myself, but 3 phases of music accompanying 3 phases of an increasingly more deadly boss, all come together to make a perfect final boss theme!
... Well, until more content was added post-Champion :D

This one technically isn't new - it's a remastered version of another original tune I did almost 4 years ago. I always felt like it ended too soon, so I decided to extend it.
Sorry about the lack of uploads everyone. I've not got a good excuse - I've just not been setting aside as much time to make music as I used to.

This is the Stage 1 theme from a little co-op platformer that I have been playing on and off the past few months.
I do like the music, but the main reason I made this was as a little thank-you to the developers and the community for making the game such a delightful experience. Cheers to you!

Moving on,
Here is a cover of one of my many favourites of the Pokemon RSE soundtrack. I'm also bringing back my "chillaxed" cover style for this one, but unlike my previous chillaxed covers, this one doesn't have a non-chillaxed version.
So enjoy! Listen, and let the music float you away...

Unlike the Phase 1 theme, this one strays a bit further away from the original song it's a cover for - it's got a bit more of "me" mixed in :D

It feels quite empty admittedly (at least to me), but that just leaves room for the 2nd Phase theme to have more impact!
Since I've only finished a cover for the 1st Phase, I'm going to wait until I've completed the Phase 2 theme before updating the mod.

This is my second favourite piece of music from this show, and it comes from my favourite individual episode. I always thought the theme of the Face of Boe was so beautiful, so I felt I had to try to cover it!
PS: Video stuttering seems to be fixed now. It was an issue with the BeepBox site.

This one in particular is my favourite by far because of how well it tells the story of Gallifrey and its fall without uttering a single word, which is just masterful. From beauty and tranquillity, to tragedy and loss, to awe and madness - it's all there!

... and what a banger!

It's not really a christmas-y song, but here's a cover I started working on a while ago and was able to finish more recently.
Making this cover was honestly a lot harder than I was expecting, and it reminded me just how much I still have to learn about beepbox and making music in general.

If you were an avid Flash gamer around the late 2000s to early 2010s, you will have heard of Bubble Tanks.
Bubble Tanks 3 was the last in this casual shooter game series, where you shoot enemies and evolve your tank as you go!
I listened to the main theme after randomly browsing old Flash game music, and boy did it take me back!
The game has been archived and is even available on some websites still, despite Flash no longer being supported (which is pretty sweet :D )

This video is an overview of (pretty much) all of the features available in BeepBox. For each feature, I describe it, show it in action and for a few of them I talk about in what situation they might be used.
If any of my explanations don't make sense, almost every feature in BeepBox has written instructions included with them - just click the name of a feature, and it will bring its notes up!

Versions of BeepBox that I recommend:
BeepBox Link: beepbox.co
The definitive BeepBox version.
It's the most simple and the most stable version there is.
ModBox - moddedbeepbox.github.io/3.0
One of the first BeepBox mods.
Adds additional features in almost all areas.
JummBox - jummbus.bitbucket.io
A newer BeepBox mod with additional features all over.
The Mod Channel is especially useful for when you want to edit an instrument or song setting during a song (e.g., the tempo can be set to change mid-song).
I tried to blend the Terraria and Don't Starve arrangements of this song, which was surprisingly easy actually.
I know I said I was probably going to do a DS Epic Ruins cover, but I've been playing some Terraria recently and I just thought it would be perfect if I covered this one instead,

So after having recovered (mostly) from COVID symptoms, I bring to you the fighting theme for the Ruins in Don't Starve and Don't Starve Together.
I actually got about half-way through putting this together just before testing positive, then took a long break to recover, before coming back to finish it off. For this reason, the quality of this cover is probably not so good when compared to my previous work, but it's still got some good bits :D
Also, just to warn you guys that I might be jumping around with covers, a bit like I did when I first started with the seasonal work/fight/boss covers. This cover took a lot longer than I wanted it to, which is mostly because of COVID, but also because I got stuck trying to make it sound right.
I intend to do an Epic Ruins cover next, but if I get stuck I may start working on some other things and maybe even release them before that.
Finally, I wanted to say that I reeeeeally tried to add the iconic "hoo" "huu" voice that plays in all the ruins music in a chiptune style, but I just couldn't get it to sound any good :(

As I've done previously, I'm covering a song from a game I've never played, which I came across while listening to random game OSTs. I think I got the vibe right for this, even though I have no context for the scene this tune plays in.

And BOY, was this one tough to do - there are so many moving parts in the original theme, I felt like I was actually fighting Dragonfly trying to cover this!
It's got quite a few parts different from the original, which I like, but I understand if people don't like it because of that.
I covered this one after it won in my poll on what boss theme to cover next. Now that I've done that though, I think I'm not going to do a requested one again.
Normally when I get stuck on a cover, I'll start making the next one and then go back afterwards. I feel like I can't do this when it's been voted on though, so I think it's best for me if I only do more general polls like the one I did when I first released my music mod.
Of course, feel free to request certain songs in the comments! I might consider covering them, but just don't expect it.

On other news, this is the 100th composition I've made in BeepBox ever! I've technically done a few more than that since I uploaded alternate versions of a few videos, but this is still a pretty big deal for me :D
If you're interested, you can see the progress I've made in my composition skills since I first used BeepBox by going all the way back through my channel videos to the first song I ever made in this program: Fresh Experience.

I had actually planned to do these two little tunes before releasing the mod - it just completely slipped my mind (thanks for triggering my memory Camel Playz!).
These two pieces of music play when Dusk and Dawn occur in Don't Starve respectively - I decided to put them in the same video since they are so short and (sorta) related.

It's finally here, and just in time for Christmas!
This has been a long time coming, but I'm so excited to release to you all this delightfully simple little mod, featuring (almost) all of my Don't Starve covers as in-game music!
At the time of this videos release, the mod includes music covers for:
- Work to be Done (Autumn Work Theme)
- Danger (Autumn Fight Theme)
- E.F.S (Autumn Boss Theme)
+ Working through Winter (Winter Work Theme)
+ Winter Alright for Fighting (Winter Fight Theme)
+ E.F.S of Winter (Winter Boss Theme)
- Spring Cleaning (Spring Work Theme)
- Spring into the Fight (Spring Fight Theme)
- Glory of Spring (Spring Boss Theme)
+ Summer Jobs (Summer Work Theme)
+ Summertime and the Fighting is Easy (Summer Fight Theme)
+ Summer Showdown (Summer Boss Theme)
- Hoedown (Beaver)
- Hoedown (Goose)
- Hoedown (Moose)
============================================================
A few things I'd like to say:
- This is a Client Mod, meaning anyone can install the mod for themselves and play it on any server, regardless of whether other players have it or not!
- My Don't Starve Together Main Theme cover is not in this mod as the main menu music because I don't know how to get it to work right now. I might try to fix it in the future, but it's not a huge priority for me.
- In the video, I turned down all other sounds to put the main focus on the music. You can adjust the volume in-game as normal - it does not have to be that loud!
- In the mod, the fade between work themes and fight themes is not smooth. Again, I don't know right now how to fix this, but I will try.
============================================================
The music mod miiiiight not actually improve the characteristics stated in the video, but it is GUARANTEED to make your Don't Starve experience more interesting, so enjoy!

I think having at least one part of the day where you aren't thinking about what you've done or what you need to get done is so important - a time to just "live in the moment" can really help put things into perspective.
And that's why I love making these alternative chillaxed tunes so much :)

To be fair though, a do-over of my first cover of the Werebeaver theme was looooong overdue to match in quality with the others.

Covering this tune was quite difficult - there are quite a few empty-ish spaces in the song that sound fine in the original, but did not translate as well into chiptune. As a result, I added a fair bit of original stuff to spice it up a little. I don't feel 100% about this one, but I still like it overall.

To get used to the new update, I decided to do a smaller scale tune to get used to the new features and layout, and I thought "Why not make a fight theme for that Don't Starve inspired tune I did a little while ago?". And here we are.

Okay, but for realzies: I listened through the OST for this game and decided to cover this one because it was my favourite of the non-chippy tunes - I didn't see much point in doing a chiptune cover for a chip tune!
PS: I began working on this in the middle of working on a Don't Starve cover, so expect that one next :)
PPS: The title of the song is slightly wrong in the video - oh well xD

This tune plays as the Plane boss' theme song in the Toy Story 2 game, and I felt like giving it some love since in the game it is hardly heard - the boss is very easy and so dies quickly, and (on the PC at least) the plane engine sound is waaaaaay too loud!
