Actually, if you don't mind, what is going on here? I'm really happy people are enjoying this thing - it's the best possible reward for the time I took tinkering with emulated nes soundchips and things - but don't understand what's driving its apparently newfound visibility. By the way, thank you for listening!
@@6502x86 well one, you are welcome this is awesome, second youtube works in a strange way, and this appeared randomly in my feed even if i didnt search or watched any dark souls content in a long time, so most likely sooner or later also a lot of other people will get randomly this video and click on it
This makes me think back to Boktai on GBA, because of the older hardware music and darker feel. Something else in there, too, I had in mind but can't seem to remember. Lost it shortly after I thought of it. EDIT: Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring on GBA. That's what it kinda made me think of.
Suni Victor I know it’s the closest equivalent I could think of the op’s interpretation in the way that it would play and the art style has a classic dark souls flare
I did, though. And then I couldn't find it, but I did find Max's 16bit chiptune version, which led me to UprisingGrand, who published the underlying note data. I knew just enough about LMMS (a music composition program) to bring that note structure in, tweak it verrrry slightly, pump it through emulated NES chips, and then do a bit to master the output and give it some pop to make it sound like a real recording instead of just digital waveforms being pumped through your speakers (a tiny bit of reverb does wonders for making chiptune music have that pop - I learned that trick from, of all things, the official OST for the gen 1 pokemon games). But yep. Did search, couldn't find, but by grace, luck, and good people sharing their skills, I could make this. The internet is so freaking cool! Imagine how much stuff like this just wouldn't exist if not for some DARPA geeks in the ninteen seventies!!!
Probably not. If it were like LoZ, maybe it would be good, but even then I still can't imagine it being "better" with such limited hardware. So much would be lost.
There are a lot of options. Most faithful would be using multiple different famitracker modules to voice. Most user friendly would be LMMS. But if you allow multiple famicom voices (needed for the polyphony we have here, ultimately it doesn't super matter. Famitracker is only necessary if you want to compose inside the contraint of a single nes instrument vs as an orchestra. This peice is a nes orchestra.
it be like blin blin blon

When Gwyn's part came on, I felt like I was finishing what I started in Dark Souls 1
It did feel like that
How many times do we have to teach you this lesson, old man?
Waiting for some random day when UA-cam decides to recommend this video to every single person on the planet
It might be happening
@@seanyoyoboy the day has come
@@GeraltOfLibya yes it did indeed
It is time
The time has come
2:19 is the memory’s of years passed the time that life for some people got changed forever.
Dude i was also completely wasted listening to this for the first time, glad someone else had the same experience
*PRAISE THE SUN!*
PRAISE THE GAME BOY
Praise the flame that gives us life.
PRAISE THE FLAME
\[T]/
PRAISE THE DAYS OF OLD, WHEN ALL A MAN NEEDED WAS SOME PATIENCE AND AN NES/GAMEBOY!
I think this video is gonna become a bit more popular over time.
Hopefully so, considering that this is actually good.
Well it was recommended to me so XD
I also hope it gets 8 bit more popular over time
@@GokuKing1198 I WAS GONNA MAKE THAT JOKE
@@GokuKing1198 guess you could I was 8 bit late to the joke
The embered cape of the SoC is hella smooth, not something you'd see in 8-bit style arts, i dig it.
a 2D remix of the entirety of DS3 would be rad tho ngl
Slashy souls :)
The art for this video is amazing
*Pixel of cinder*
Really well done
it's fucking RAW!
This sounds like the boss fight I would be gushing to my friends about in elementary during lunch
It captures the same epic feeling as the original but also the classic chip tune style
1:38
''Dark souls 3 crashs''
Well done
Walking straight ahead...
it's fucking RAW!
this got in my recommended after finishing ds3 and I like it
and here it starts, the random video moment, dude get ready to have a lot of views

@@SolaTheUnknown Ah, I see. Glory to the algorithm, it seems. Thanks for answering!
I come here sometimes to listen this, I love it every time
This sounds so lonely... I love it.

Wooow, this is Just WONDERFUL!!!!! Oh wow, amazing 🧡🧡🧡🧡

This is so well done. Damn.
Here before this becomes famous
Imagine Dark Souls series with the older Castlevania style gameplay.
Not soo good
Suni Victor I was thinking symphony of the night

Symphony of the Night meets Dark Souls is basically Hollow Knight.
I heard there are people doing a mod of that
hell yeah bro. man, i wanna play through the entire dark souls series to get to this moment
amazing job man
holy hot damn nice job
Be honest, you didn't search for this.
True
Yea
i did
@@GeomaniaDasher i also did

1:15 make me remember gears of war theme
Glorious
Nice
Finally, for fucks sake, a good 8-bit rendition of this song. Every other version I've checked, so far, sucked balls badly.
Is this what it feels like...
to be embered?
Press start to link fire
Mario's not beatin this castle
Great remix! I'm in need of some boss music for a 10-day gamejam I'm taking part in, so would it be OK to use this? (With credit to you, of course!)
Yeah! By all means! Thank you for asking, felt pretty great to see this~ I'd love to see the final prod.
@@6502x86 thank you so much! I'll get back to you in a week when we're done 😍
@@WestyDesign So much for that. (Two months later)
@@aprettyfunnyperson4516 It got used! I tried to comment a few times, UA-cam just kept deleting it.
@@WestyDesign
Link troubles?
Beginning sounds like the death by specimen 6
Bip bip bop
More comments for the algorythm god !!!

If the whole song was as loud as it was at 2:02 + it would of need so much better. Good remix though.
You know, I think Dark Souls might have been even better if it were made in the pixel era of gaming.
Probably not. If it were like LoZ, maybe it would be good, but even then I still can't imagine it being "better" with such limited hardware. So much would be lost.
I subscribed
Thanks so much! I hope you enjoy the future videos and songs I make and edit!
Which software for making 8bit songs?

This is so much better than the original!
