Re: Ingame Song Informations
OK the biggest issue we currently have is that Misc has 13 pages already and will get bigger soon, so require quick solutions for this (aka better song distribution).
oh nice. I'll talk to you about genres anyways. |

Re: Ingame Song Informations
Most of Funk and Misc could be put into two new Jazz (technical complex stuff) and Breakbeat (DnB etc) categories. There is really a minimal amount of actual funk music in FFR, whereas these two categories could have a pretty good amount of stuff. I like the concept of a Trance or Techno genre to take part of the Dance stuff. Hip-Hop doesn't have very many songs and maybe it could be turned into a Misc 2.

Re: Ingame Song Informations
I think a Jazz and a Breakcore category would both be very fitting and useful, and then you could probably safely throw all of funk and hip hop into misc

Re: Ingame Song Informations
ok then
Hip-Hop -> Drum'n Bass (or Breakcore) Funk -> Jazz No Misc 2. We need to count the # of Jazz/DnB songs (roughly). If it's reasonable amount I'll moving songs first, then velocity will fix the engine. Actual Funk/Hip-Hop songs will be in Misc (maybe not until total genre fix). |

Re: Ingame Song Information
I plan to put the genre data in excel and see if I can sort out the proportion of various genres.

Re: Ingame Song Information
i would rather see DnB instead of breakcore. dont see the point in having a jazz genre since i can only recall a handful of oster project songs when i think jazz.

Re: Ingame Song Information
Either Jazz or Pops.
Jazz is at least more popular than Hip-hop here currently so it might work. |

Re: Ingame Song Information
From the excel data I've gathered:
23 8-bit/chiptune songs 33 breakbeat songs 66 ___-core songs (note: frequently intermixed with other genres) 20 dance songs (note: majority is intermixed with euro or pop) 34 drum'n bass songs 32 euro songs 7 gabba songs 13 house songs 18 jazz songs 56 pop songs 27 rave songs 131 techno songs 87 trance songs Solely by the numbers, this suggests that there should at least be individual categories for dnb, techno, trance, and pop. Other genres don't have as many songs, but may still merit a category. All the songs have to go somewhere. NOTE: there may be some cross-mixing of genres. For example, {Colossus} has a song style of Breakbeat/Trance, or Story of Snowman and Sunshine Girl has a song style of Eurotrance. NOTE2: there are many other songs with various other genres not listed in my findings...I didn't tally every song Last edited by bmah; 12-6-2010 at 03:55 AM.. |

Re: Ingame Song Information
From bmah's statistics, breakcore(dnb) and pops(or jazz/pops) might be reasonable.
In terms of initial letters, b and j are better. |

Re: Ingame Song Information
How about:
Breakcore/DnB/Breakbeat/Breaks/Gabba/ [Initial B] & Hardcore/Techno/J-Core/House/Rave/Trance [Initial T] & Pop/Jazz/Swing/Euro (maybe house)? [Initial J] 8bit/chiptune i'm undecided - Keep misc for stuff like that? Also, we need to start moving chiptune songs OUT OF arcade... just because something sounds like it's from a videogame doesn't mean it's from one. (unless arcade is intended for that which I see as non-beneficial) Last edited by Coolboyrulez0; 12-9-2010 at 07:13 PM.. |

Re: Ingame Song Information
Hardcore/Techno/J-Core/House/Rave/Trance is ok with Dance.
Classical should be Classical/Instrumental. "Arcade" just doesn't fit other genre classifications, also it doesn't make sense for non well-known games. It could be a genre for 8bit/16bit. |

Re: Ingame Song Information
I think we could do well putting both game music remixes and arcade-sounding stuff (i.e. 8bit) in the Arcade genre. It's not perfect, but it's better than either making a new genre or dumping it into Misc.
It would be really cool if the song styles for Arcade genre songs could say the game the music is from. TGWP-like medleys can have "Various Games" and arcade-sounding stuff can have "8bit" etc.

Re: Ingame Song Information
In a couple weeks I'll start reclassifying some of the song genres in the arcade section. Some music is truly 8-bit/chiptune/game music, but a lot of them are remixes of a different genre altogether, from metal to techno.
