Thx man. I was going for a kinda cave storyish feel to it

I don't understand how it relates to lua but I like it

I really like this. Reminds me of Organ Trail, which I like.

If you were going for cavestory esque you hit the head on the nail

I definitely get the Cave Story vibe, but for some reason they don't really scream "chiptune" to me.  It doesn't really sound like you're following any particular system's particular specs or restraints, so I can't really give you advice on the matter.

If it's a Cave Story vibe you're going for you've pretty much nailed it.  If you want a more general chiptune sound, I recommend sticking to square/pulse waves, avoiding full chords, avoiding overlap of new notes over decaying notes, and using arpeggiated chords where applicable.

Glad to hear that i'm achieving the effect that I want. In terms of the style of chiptune, i'm actually super limited because i'm using a not-so-versatile tracking program that doesn't support note sustain. It pretty much allows you to place down notes but that's the maximum extent. When I purchase my new PC, i'm going to switch back to Famitracker, since i'm much more familiar with it (i experimented with it like once :u)

If you're used to trackers I highly recommend OpenMPT.  It's highly versatile and perfect for chiptunes.  Plus you can load existing .mod, .xm, .s3m, and .it chiptunes for brown townysis.

Looks like a great alternative. For the time being, however, I'm forced to use Milkytracker since I only have a macbook.
