they keep pulling me back IN!

Remember when I said that I thought I was done with Mortal Kombat:Armegeddon? Ummm, yeah -- I was wrong.

Today I was back on it -- they're continuing to polish it for a few more days. The main task of the day was rewriting the super-duper uber-fanfare for when you flawlessly finish Konquest mode. Only about 3 people will ever hear this (the one goober who finally pulls it off, and his mom and dad, upstairs having dinner, wondering why their middle-aged son still hasn't moved out of their basement), but it's 16 seconds of pure orchestral-goth grandeur, nonetheless.

I started it in the morning, and by about 3 PM, I had it in good order. It took a long time to get my bionic orchestra to sound realistic... creating orchestral music with MIDI is like painting a house with Q-tips. I played it for the team, and they liked it a lot, but wanted it to be even longer and BIGGER. So I added an even longer cadence to it -- not quite Sibelius-esque, but definitely very, very Beethoven. Sent them an mp3 and they LOVED it.

One step closer to the end... again...
