Retrograde: Jan 22, 2007; Strange game-- the only winning move is not to play.

This thread had me go through some old files I had up on google drive and well:

can't exactly stop anyone from doing that.... but please do play the game

The game is really good and the music is awesome! How'd you get Jerry Martin?

I saw the download link was from archive.org, it took a bit to download I assume for that reason. Thanks for making it open source, ran instantly on Linux!

he's been a freelance musician for hire since 2005, so i just shot him an email asking if he could do a couple sims build mode-style tracks for my particular budget and to my great surprise he responded. we exchanged emails for a few months and here we are. he's wanting to also release this music as part of a Sims Build Mode Volume 2 album so i think he was particularly receptive to the idea; he seemed utterly disinterested in whatever the hell i was using it for in any case lol. i doubt he even knows the name of my game tbh

and thanks for playing! it's on archive.org cuz im trying to stay on the lowest price tier for my hosting so i kinda wanted to avoid a bunch of ppl downloading 260MB over and over lol...

I think I've corresponded with him a few times via e-mail, he's always been nice to chat with. Looks like he did your music with someone named Juraj Stanik? He did the soundtrack for SimCasino which I think is his last release, been waiting for anything new from him since then.

Yeah, Jerry Martin is the composer and Juraj Stanik is the pianist

No sooner do I mention his new album then he drops it, just got an e-mail saying it's out:

Hi,

This is Jerry Martin, music composer from The Sims and SimCity.

I finally finished my new album "Be Tonal". Wow! It sure took me along enough. (That's what happens when I don't have an actual deadline.)

Anyway, it's got a lot of cool tunes. I'm not sure what the genre would be.
I guess you'd call it "Future Jazz". I've always like to mix genres though.

On the Be Tonal page, I added a third tune to the previews called "Chill Resolve". You can also download the album credits from there.

I hope you like it!

Please get the album here: "Be Tonal"

Thanks,
Jerry
