This was a track I really struggled with composing - I tried a lot of different ideas, but none of them clicked with me. Eventually, I had the idea to repurpose an old doodle by MelonadeM that she never finished, and after I got permission, the pieces fell together very, very quickly. The old doodle in question serves as the outro that plays just before the song loops - everything was was built on top of that by me. It's not too hard to figure out my main inspirations for the track (Pokémon Azurite's Victory Road and Mega Man Time Tangent's Wily Stage 1), however.

Each card would consist of a usertag, which would be automatically design in the Mega Man title style using your username, one of sixteen backgrounds, and various sprites from the game, the latter two of which are unlocked through game progression. As you can see from the footage, I've already played around with this functionality - the default card consists of the blank blue background, the usertag placed in the centre of the card, and no other details.
This functionality was present in all October builds, before being removed at some point up to the December 8th build, by which point all functionality and reference to any co-op related mechanic was removed. This particular footage is taken from the October 23rd build.Mega Man 2 - Dr. Wily Stages 3/4/5funny toothpaste man2021-10-19 | been sitting on this one for yearsthis is how i spend my free timefunny toothpaste man2021-08-10 | cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/279001367853531138/874739127646560316/mm3wilyboss.asm

The exact prompt that lead to the creation of Illuxury was "2hu inspired elegant dress waifumon legendary". Ignoring how we managed to take this prompt and go in a frankly terrifying direction with it, I felt it'd be wrong to have a Touhou-inspired legendary theme without taking some seriously heavy notes from actual Touhou music. The end result is something I'm somewhat split on - I am extremely happy with the verse, and the chorus trumpet sounds pretty nice, but I really didn't know what to do with the bridges, and I think it shows - but overall, I'm content.VS.

The moment I realised that one of the main legendaries would be percussion-themed, I immediately got to work on seeing how I could work percussion into the battle theme without breaking the official stylistic rule of never using the noise channel (what you traditionally use for percussion) in battle themes. The result was this - with a bunch of pitch bends on one of the pulse channels, I managed to get something that sounds close enough to a taiko drum. This is probably one of the best tracks I've done for Quarantine Crystal - not a surprise, considering it leans heavily on one of my stronger suits (instrumentation) while sacrificing one of my weaker suits (counter-melodies).Victory!

Guys, this isn't just an inferior version of the RSE champion victory theme, I promise! Probably would've been a good idea for me to have worked in some of the champion motifs a la DPP, but this is good enough.VS.

I personally find the standard Pokémon Crystal audio engine to be rather limiting. It doesn't offer much in the way of more advanced techniques, and even some of its more fundamental features (such as volume control) don't give you much freedom. So, when varmintz pitched the inclusion of Yotsuba as a character, I felt it would be the perfect opportunity to see just how far I can push the limits of this engine. One weekend and a full audio bank later, it turns out you can push it fairly far, but only if you're willing to give up your sanity.
Women want me. Game Freak fears me. Programmers would probably also fear me if they looked at my awful optimisation.
This track is a cover of Stage 10 - Zenith, the final boss theme from the game Ginga Force. Yousuke Yasui is one of my alltime favourite VGM composers, and I consider Zenith to be one of his stand-out works. I greatly enjoyed planning out this cover, and I sincerely hope I've done the original track justice. If you like what you hear, consider checking out his other works!
Oh, and if you're reading this far down, I planned out Yotsuba's team's movesets. I am the reason why you suffered. But, in my defence, it wouldn't make much sense if Yotsuba's team wasn't heavily RNG-focused, would it?VS.

I really don't understand why no official game has done this yet. Yes, this was only the OP in the dub, but I reckon somebody like Ichinose could easily rework the original OP into something equally fitting for the appropriate regional releases.VS.

Shortly before the Johto demo released, during my last run I realised Yuggromi could probably do with its own theme. I struggled at first, so I figured it'd probably take a while to get done, so we launched the game without it. The very next day, everything came together perfectly. Epic. As a result, this track is only in v0.601. Be sure to update your game!Encounter!

Enforcers are arguably my favourite new class in Quarantine Crystal. Far more memorable than the generic business suit executives, and it's a cute nod to the TCG to boot. While this track is mostly based off of the Encounter! Rocket theme from GSC, the intro is also a nod to Team Rocket Hideout from RBY.VS.

Pokémon Coral (which is shaping up to be absolutely incredible - definitely check it out!) has a unique setup where, when you encounter a shiny, the wild battle music will speed up and transpose up. It's a great way to raise tension when your heart stops for a moment as you realise what's happened, and it got me wondering why official games never change the music up for shiny battles.Encounter!

This attempt at voice synthesis really didn't go to plan. It sounds close enough to a human for the effect I wanted, but I'm not sure it was worth 4 out of the 6 new waveforms I could add to the game.
Also, DJamm is the prompt I submitted to the original threads - to quote directly, "mon which is themed off of both a jar of jam and a dj". I really had nothing in mind when suggesting this, I just wanted a dex entry that I could jam full of puns, but Daz somehow managed to turn it into one of my personal favourites anyway!Encounter!

Why do so many female-exclusive encounter themes in Pokémon contain that AWOOGA sound effect at the start?

Encounter! Artist from DPP is easily my favourite encounter theme in the entire series. Go Ichinose really didn't need to go so hard on this track, very few people would stick around to hear the full thing, but why should that stop him? I wasn't planning on covering any tracks from later Pokémon games, but when QDexAnon suggested this track, I couldn't turn the idea down.Tension - Pokémon Quarantine Crystal OSTfunny toothpaste man2021-04-05 | Audio is recorded directly from bgb 1.5.8. === Pokémon Quarantine Crystal === pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?t=436807 New Pokémon have been spotted in the Johto region!

Originally, this track was intended as a unique encounter theme for Wizards. It didn't pan out (and I never figured something else out for them), but the result was still something I was really, really happy with, so it got repurposed for that fleeting moment of hesitation as you approach a truly legendary Pokémon.Mega Man 9 - Unused OSTfunny toothpaste man2021-03-02 | The PS3 version of Mega Man 9 contains an unused track. According to a friend (BlackYoshi) who showed this to me, it's present in bgm_mid, as tracks 129-132. I believe this render of the track was created using the Wii instruments, however - if so, as soon as a more accurate upload of this track is created, I will unlist this upload. Given the tone of the track, along with its position in the files (sandwiched between the ending theme and the various intro cutscene themes), I would have to go out on a limb and assume this was originally intended for the intro cutscene in some fashion, likely playing either before or in place of the first intro cutscene theme.
