Well, I'll see if I like it. I just need more stuff, too, like background stuff. Anyone have any good background tilesets that could work well with this?

"background tilesets..."
not exactly an oximoron, but...
Lurk more.

X) I decided I'll make my own cloud tileset. But I have another problem.
The music I'm currently using is HUUUUGE in filesize, so I need a lot of really good music I could use in this level. Just post some and I'll see if I'll put it in TMG.

just convert the music to a lower bitrate and be done.

...I suppose I could...Alright, I'll do that. And I should also be getting more music. X) But I know where to get it.
EDIT: I've come to the conclusion that Spheric Lounge's music (that's where I got the music) is too quiet. I'm gonna go on Newgrounds and ask people if I could use their music in this level.
EDIT2: Okay, all of the good songs on Newgrounds are too long and will naturally have large filesizes. :( So, starting now, post any music you made that you'd like to see in TMG!

If by "quiet" you mean literally too quiet, it's possible to amplify any music.

Any songs that are too long could very easily be edited down and/or changed to a lower bitrate. (You might need the musician's specific permission to edit it. I'm not sure if an edit counts as a derivative work. Probably not.)

Amplifying/editing/bitrate changing can all be done with Audacity.

Yes, that is what I mean by "too quiet," but even making it louder would...I don't know how to explain it, but...I don't know! DX I'll post the music I'm using when my Internet stops acting up.

Hum. I just looked at some of that music, and the three tracks I looked at were actually louder than the default KS music (on average).
good bye

Really? o.0 Maybe it's just me. *shrugs* (Also, Under the Ice is one of the default KS songs. :O) Well, I'll download more ('cause I need more; I only have 8 songs. D:) and decrease the bitrate.
EDIT: ...ZOMFG! D: My computer said it would take an hour to download just one song! And this computer's fast, too! T-T It didn't do this last time (that I can remember) so why's it doing it now?

...Oh, well...Anyone know a site with good music? That I can legally use in this level (obviously)?

No it isn't. It contains a four-note figure that is very similar to a figure occurring in one of the KS tracks, but the track itself is not in KS. (You can see all five of the musicians who did work for the game in KS's credits section.)

...Oh, well...Anyone know a site with good music? That I can legally use in this level (obviously)?

A quick Googling comes up with several sites that have Creative Commons-licensed music, then the Creative Commons site itself has a search thing that lets you find legally usable music. (Be sure to check the relevant license information, though, before using any music, as there might be a few situations where the license would prohibit this sort of use.)

...You need to ask Paula if you could use her "Helpful Mod" userbar. :P Seriously, thanks. Though I guess I coulda got off my lazy butt and done it myself. :oops:

Hate to double-post, but I am officially out of ideas. If someone doesn't give me any good ideas or tilesets, I may need to abandon this. Which I would reeeealllly hate to do! :sad:

I'm working on a tileset, and it's turned out great so far, but I, too, have run out of ideas. (Actually I'm just trying to draw something :P)
