   SoundTempest: Composer & Developer Resource
  I am the administrator of SoundTempest (www.soundtempest.net), a site and community dedicated to original video game music. It was founded in June of 2003 with the purpose of hosting video game and anime remixes, as well as original music. However, last month, I decided that it would be wise to change the site''s purpose to something that is not already covered in depth. After making that decision and starting anew (more or less), ST has quickly grown in popularity. Artists can submit music they have composed, in a number of formats, to the site that they have written for the intention of use in a video or computer game. There is a simple evaluation process for submissions to ensure a level of musical integrity on the site. Posted music is often freely available for use in either free or commercial games, though the decision is left entirely to the artist. All posted music is free for listening, of course. Submitted songs are currently arranged based on artist name, though once a substantial database of songs has been achieved, a categorical system will be implemented.If none of the songs on the site suit the needs of the developer, there is an active forum where requests can be made. As the doors have essentially just been reopened, the music library and active community is still relatively small. However, I am confident that the amount of submissions and artists reaching the site will continue to grow at a fast pace, as they have been within the past month. I believe I speak for everyone at ST when I say that any attention it gets would be much appreciated. As both a game developer and musician myself, I can understand the difficulty that arises when a game team is needed, or when a song is done that fits no game of my own. Hopefully, my site will aid those who have encountered, and still encounter, similar difficulty. Thanks in advance for your time. 
  I can only congratulate you on such a fantastic idea!I''m not into game developing yet, but i''m preparing to do so, and music and graphics are the two things that kept bothering me (i''m a programmer you see), and this site takes a load off...ps: if you ever want to make another site like this, and you don''t have clue what about: do free 3d models ;  Thanks. A similar site for a different aspect of game design is a definite possibility for the future, but for now, I''m sticking to music. I appreciate the feedback.
