This concludes all the stuff I was trying to put in for v0.100. (You can see why I had to draw the line somewhere lol) Gomez


Holy heck, this is mind-boggling!! Shocked Love the trailer, the music fits really nicely too Coffee

Thanks Grin – Someone just popped up on these forums one day and basically said “I made some music for you, here you go, bai” lol
Never seen them again Who, Me?

EDIT: Coincidentally he just popped up and offered to make some more music for Startron, so that’s a stroke of luck Coffee
