Finally working on music again! Homestuck music, at that. Here’s a work in progress

It’s a song for the most recent set of updates, because I like Jade and I like John they’re both totes cool or w/e

Been kinda busy lately (And will be busy most of next week) so I haven’t had much time or energy to do a full stage theme, so here’s a short loop of a Stage Select that took more time to render due to technical difficulties than it did to make.

I initially intended for it to be a high-octane remix of this bit of BGM from Magic Duel but it kinda turned into its own thing and became unrecognizable. Oh well!

And Fluttershy’s up next in the megaman party! I used parts from her Training Montage from Hurricane Fluttershy, but maybe it turned out a bit too punchy for her. Oh well. 

A lot of Megaman stages have multiple backgrounds and settings in them as you go through them, and I imagine Fluttershy’s stage being in her cottage to begin with, and then at the midpoint you’d fall down into her knitting dungeon from Micro #4. Because Micro #4 was really cool.

Anyway, the weapon you’d get from defeating her would probably just be Angel. You send him out and he homes on on the nearest enemy and just sorta wails on them, draining the weapon power until you summon him back. In a nod to MM2, Fluttershy would be weak to her own weapon, like Metalman was, making it only really useful during the boss-refights at the end.

And the boss theme is done!

Probably either Fluttershy or Rainbow Dash up next. Depending on Things. 

You’ll recognize a part or two of This Day Aria in there. It’s pretty much the only main pony song that has any sort of imposing atmosphere, so I threw it in there. 

Still looking for someone who knows how to pixel art for ~track arts~ and maybe other things if a certain subset of Other Things happens. Inquire Within,

And Twilight’s up next, rounding out the Unicorn Supremacy 

The whole Scientist aspect of Twilight isn’t used as much as it should be in the show, and is one of the things I like a lot about the FiM universe - that magic is very much a science, and the way Twilight studies it, she is very much a scientist. Plus all the fancy machines she has in a few episodes. So I tried to make the song more science-y than magic-y. 

When you beat Twilight she’d give you the Heatman-style charge shot. The more you charge it up, the bigger (and more purple) it is. It’d be strong against Applejack and weak against Pinkie. (And since I didn’t mention that with Rarity’s, the shield is strong against Rainbow Dash and weak against Applejack).

I guess I’m actually going to do all of this.

Mega Man style theme for Rarity, the rest of the main 6 to come, plus a few extras.

I put a bit of Art of the Dress in there, to keep it Rarity.

The weapon you’d get from defeating her would be the obligatory rotating sheild, probably in the shape of her cutie mark. You’d fire it by moving like Woodman’s and every enemy it kills would turn into a small screw (or bit, I guess, since ponies) to spend at the shop.

So I couldn’t resist. I shoved this together in an hour

I made the MLP theme into a Mega Man intro. You know, it starts off happy and nice, getting the basic exposition out, and then it takes a slightly dark turn when the Wily or fake-protoman(Wily) or Dr. Cossack (Wily) or whoever (Wily) does something bad, then it turns into a higher-octane version of the original for the Press Start screen.

Maybe I’ll expand on this idea. Maybe.
