News and Announcements

Sakari Infinity is now a sponsor of the Multi-Site RPG Maker Wiki.

The URL is: wiki.RpgM.org

It's like any other Wiki, except it's about RPG Maker. This means that resources, scripts, well-known artists, scripters and musicians, sites, tutorials, and so on will all be open topics! And because it's a wiki, it's open to the world and your very own account is, as always, free.

I've got at least one game I'm going to write an article about, and I know of a few well-known people out there deserving of articles. Do you? If so, head on over and write your way into the history being made here.

Hey everyone. It's been a while since I've made any noise around here, hasn't it?

I wanted to let everyone know that I set up a group on Last.FM for Sakari Infinity, here:
http://www.last.fm/group/Sakari%2BInfinity

If you don't know what Last.FM is, it's basically a free internet radio of sorts. It's got every type of music on it, plus it works with iTunes to record what you listen to. It's very cool, I definitely recommend signing up if you haven't. Oh, and join the group!

By joining the group, we can see each other's playlists, listen to each other's favorites, and so on.

I received this from our host. They are upgrading our server - free of charge.

Dear Client,

We have recently been reviewing this server's offerings and application versions to ensure that we are providing the best possible service while still ensuring maximum stability and reliability. Specifically, we have been reviewing the Apache web service. This is the service that displays your website to all of your viewers on the Internet. Up till now, the server has been running Apache 1.

After thorough investigation our team has determined that the upgrade from Apache 1 to Apache 2 will be nothing short of beneficial.

[...]


The upgrade is scheduled as follows:

SERVER: Enterprise
DATE: Sunday, July 27th 2008
UPGRADE WINDOW: 11:00pm -> 11:59pm (EST) -5 GMT Timezone.
DOWNTIME: No downtime is expected. ** There may be a brief Apache service outage (under 30 seconds) once Apache is restarted to advance to the latest Apache version. **



Thank you.

Heya everyone. This is my first announcement as admin at Sakari.

A few things:

The Garritan Personal Orchestra forum is hosting an amazing orchestration guide. It has 26 lessons, each one with virtual scores which you can actually play back. It's basically a digital, interactive orchestration book & course. And totally free! I suggest you all check it out here:
http://www.northernsounds.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=77

Some of the musicians on the forum have been submitting tracks to a new Run Time Package. Basically, this will be to use alongside of, or replace the RPG Maker series default MIDI RTP. A collection of MIDI music that people can use in their games. While it is written for RPG's - anyone will be able to download and use the package - as long as credit is given to Sakari and/or the composer(s).

I urge all composers at Sakari, and guests to join in the forum and submit tracks to this great resource. We hope to get it done over the coming months - it will be a great tool to not only attract more visitors to the website, but for the games themselves. Get involved!

The topic is here: http://www.sakari-infinity.net/forums/index.php?topic=1447.0

I would also like to remind people here for the downloads that there is a great forum here - and it would be nice to see some more active members. The forum is not just for composers, we have sections for game developers, artists, and people who just want to talk about whatever. Come on in!

Peace,

Chris
 

Hello everyone.

I'm here again to announce that we've made the biggest change out of all the upcoming changes to the site. Here is a straightforward list of changes:

 - Chris Hurn is the new Administrator of Sakari Infinity.

 - Psygon, Arcanum, and Kenneth are now Local Musicians.

 - I've cleaned up the Local Musician member group, and the following members need to contact me to be re-added to the Local Musician group: Daryus, jstreet, Kain, Matt, Shizu. I know most of you guys are around, just PM me and I'll add you back to the LM group.


Chris Hurn will be handing the job of leading this forum. Please give him the same respect you've granted me all these years. Like I said, I'll still be around, just not as much.

Chris, the helm is yours.
