    Are you guys seeing that soundcloud link as broken above (I assume its the poets circle one, any newer tracks made "official more recently than july 2015?)? Wondering if thats the only place to look (aside from game files). Im also wondering about CC attribution usage, a lot of free domain stuff can be used for commercial projects if creator attribution given. Im looking for overlay sounds to push in more of an "epic" direction.

    I heard music in Sota was commissioned in more of a melody way not so much epic sounding, im thinking searching the free music world for something to boost the "epicness" of my trailer by trying to use a little WWW flavour, if anyone can point me to anything on the epic side I might have missed in the official music pls suggest a track :)

    And if any audio creators out there know where I can find some hassle free sample sources for an epic twinge hit me up!

    :)

    PS: if anyone knows how to access game sound effects and audio that would be very helpful :)

    ~Time Lord's Underground POT Pick for Pics~
    :rolleyes: This is not my POT and I don't live there. I was just invited to see it today by our great SOTA Brother @Brass Knuckles :D

    Some may have the need to include an underground POT scene within their videos. The underground POT I am most impressed with is "Bladewyke", which is located on the overworld map in Novia and linked to "Etceter".

    [​IMG]

    If you need a fully functioning underground POT which has around 40 to 50 actual players living there, "then Bladewyke is the POT of choice you need to exclude in your contest vids" ;)
    It's just simply amazing and is the very finest underground POT I've ever seen in our game!


    Very ~Time Lord~ Approved and Recommended!

    @Berek Quick question, can we use footage taken from QA server as part of the trailer? I do not plan on showing any bugs or anything like that.

    If you are actively working on a trailer and need to identify a specific music track from a scene that you wish to use, please PM me with the details and I'll see if I can identify...

    A quick reminder that the contest closes on August 18th!

    Also, you can absolutely create a trailer for both segments, the short and the long versions.

    Hope there is contest in the future with longer duration. I am sure we could get more entries if people had more time, I was busy during a lot of weekends this month. I hope decoration contests and such will last longer as well, if you really want to create something new it takes some time to acquire necessary resources.

    Sure! Unless you can send it to us first please. We'd like to have it on hand if possible (unless we're talking many tens of GBs...). PM me!
