I guess now would be a good time for me to tell my story about this song.
The song was bent on being a little faster song than the original, Night, with a more hellish theme put into the music, so that it'd be well-set for more skilled Audition players.
I entered this song in a musicshake contest, but it didn't make it through because I entered mine by the last minute of the entry period, and already the top 10 finalists have been picked.
When the voting period started, I thought, "You know what? Why not let AsiaSoft know about this contest." I posted the voting period on the PPF. The players were actually surprised that there was a contest on Audition, and although they couldn't enter, already I saw some good songs being made with it. There's actually a <a href="http://www.imeem.com/people/QfdJW2/music/lephIdg5/quixx_ft_neltharion_audisstionseamp3/" target="_blank">rap by Quixx and Neltharion</a> (contains explicit lyrics), which is a diss rap about all the other Audition services compared to SEA.
While people were shaking up some songs, I came across this post:
<!--QuoteBegin-Fujiko+--><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(Fujiko)</div><div class='quotemain'><!--QuoteEBegin-->Well, if you had made some songs which you think is suitable for AuditionSEA, do email them to the Audition Team ^^
<a href="mailto:events@auditionsea.com">events@auditionsea.com</a><!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
So I thought, "Why not, I'll give it a shot!" I gave them a ring about my remix, and they talked it over with T3. The next day, they wrote back to request a music file of my song, so I sent it over.
Two weeks later, I got a letter saying that they have approved the song. It will go under the title of
NightMARE. But because this is just a remix based off of Audition's original hit, Night, the song must go under the artist name of
Audition. The AuditionSEA Administrator had also gave word to T3 to push the song all over the world to other Audition services, and guaranteed that my song will be in their service on their next patch.
Now that I've re-iterated what you saw in the PDF, I want your opinion besides commenting on the song:
Do you think I deserve credit where credit is due from this song? Although this was just a mere contribution to the game I love the most, everybody says that I deserve much better. To me, it doesn't matter what T3 does with it. But if you think it's a serious thing for a one-shot indie artist, I would be motivated well enough to make a petition about it.
So what do you say?
If this is all right with you, moderators and administrators, I would like to request a poll about this.
