I think my favorite thing for low health music that I just remembered was Yoshi's Story, where it actually is the same song, but really really sad, because Yoshis don't die, they just get sad.

That is what I would like.

Isn't Yoshi a dinosaur? Because they certainly go extinct. 

[Aklyon]

No, Yoshi is a yoshi.

And now I want to play Yoshi's story. I never got to finish that...

Dinosaurs didn't go extinct, they migrated into video games.  Where, for example, they lurk in lava to leap out and eat you while you pass by (what were you doing in the lava flats anyway?).

I still have not received an invitation to test the game

No-one has yet.  This is a long thread, but essentially we keep pushing it back.  We aim to be into alpha this week, though, and beta also at the end of the week if we can at all help it.

  Thanks for the info Chris

Np!

Maybe when a scheduled event like this is going on, you should grab a pinned and closed thread and edit it with details, or like make additional posts to make sure people know that it's updated. That way we can still go way off topic about dinosaurs that lay eggs that contain mushrooms and other people can still tell what's going on as far as alpha/beta goes.

[x4000]

Yeah, I should -- just lots going on and it will be any day now.

[LaughingThesaurus]

I suppose it is a bit late for that in this case.

Music
23 fully remastered and/or rearranged tracks from AVWW1 are complete. 9 more tracks of at least beta quality, with a good amount of remastering/rearranging but still some tuning desired. 9 more tracks just pulled from the first game for now, still awaiting their remastering/rearranging. 10 more tracks pulled from various AI War items, and in some cases cut down or otherwise altered to fit here. Most of these AI War ones will get another looking-at of some sort, but they fit SUPER well here. All in all, there are 51 tracks counting the title track. The title track has been remastered and rearranged, and will be used in some fashion; but it's one of the ones considered beta quality for the moment because we're going to have an all-new track for the title theme of Valley 2 by 1.0.

We have all of us been quiiiiite busy.

Is it a good thing, a bad thing, or an awesome thing that you're able to use AI War music outside of AI War while still being fitting?

[x4000]

I think it's an awesome thing.  A lot of the themes between AI War and Valley 2 are similar anyway, though: desolation, humanity on the edge, a vastly stronger opponent that you are waging guerrilla warfare on, a hardy band of survivors being strategically led by you, and so on.  Also, most of the AI War tracks were used in some of the high technology parts of the game, from the future regions where robots had taken over the world.  I like to think of the two universes intersecting there anyhow, and now they musically intersect there as well, which helps even more.

EDIT: And I should clarify, the vast majority of AI War music would not be remotely appropriate for Valley 2 anyhow.  It just has such a large library of music at this point that we could pull some really fitting stuff.
