Calling all Musicians!
We're gonna do a small contest.
The idea is for people to submit music/singing accompaniment for the lyrics to the songs "My Little Hummingbird" and/or "Accidentally On Purpose". The lyrics for both songs can be found in Siren Song Chapter 2.
I will accept applications for submitting music until the end of August. Send all applications to JonesyStories@gmail.com. An application can just be like "Hey Jonesy, I wanna do "Hummingbird"" or something similar. Please include your name, some way to contact you electronically, and which song(s) you'd like to do. PLEASE DO NOT POST APPLICATIONS IN THE COMMENTS OF THIS POST. But feel free to leave any questions in the comments.
The deadline for the actual submissions will be September 30, 2024.After all submissions are in, I will let my top two tiers ($10/$25) of Patreon and Subscribestar supporters vote for their favorite. The winning songs will be put into the game and your name/band name will appear in the credits as the performer(s) of the song(s). (After winning, you will be required to sign a release form granting me permission to use this music in my game.) The initial submission doesn't have to be a fancy studio-level recording, but it does need to be in a common audio format (.mp3, .wav, .ogg, etc) and of a decent sound quality. A phone video/audio would be fine at first - then maybe polish it up with GarageBand or whatever later.
As far as tone/feel goes, when I wrote the lyrics to "Hummingbird" I kinda had a few different songs in my head, but mainly "I'm on Fire" by Bruce Springsteen and "Way Over Yonder" by Billy Bragg and Wilco, more for the feel and rhythm than anything else. "Accidentally" similarly had influences from a bunch of different songs/artists, but I mainly drew inspiration from "The House That Built Me" by Miranda Lambert. You don't have to use either of these as inspiration, (in fact I'd love to know what type of song you heard in your head while reading the words) I just want you to know where my head was when I wrote the lyrics.
Other than that, I'd love to hear what you come up with. Just upload your song to a Google Drive or something similar and send a link to JonesyStories@gmail.com.
Thanks, and I hope to hear some Siren Songs soon!

Please write narration in second person when referring to the MC (you do), not third person (he does). Third person kills my immersion.
Aside from that, this is probably in the top 5 best written VNs I've played so far. Very engrossing.

What an incredible change of pace for this author. I played his first game and while good it was the stereotypical family incest fuck fest so I was expecting more of the same and was very pleasantly surprised to see him slow it down and let it sizzle.

Hey Everyone!
While I'm still busy working on chapter 5 of New Year's Day(e), I haven't stopped thinking about Charlotte (I mean, really. Who could?). I have been dabbling (obsessing over) a little (a lot) with AI generated music and I've actually managed to get it to produce some decent results. With some help from a friend, I decided to create a

account where I have posted the first 6 tracks I've created. These will most likely be used in a game in the future, and while a couple of them obviously already are part of Siren Song the others might spring up in other places.I'm also going to start trying to do a lot more of the ambient background music for my games, so if you'd like me to post that to

as well, let me know.I've got a lot of ideas brewing for chapter 3 and I can't wait to start working on it. For now, it's back to Daye and Eve and the rest of the gang.
Anyway head on over there and check them out. Let me know what you think and if you're feeling generous, throw a dollar or two at me and download the songs you like best.
Thanks again.
Love Y'all!

So far loving the writing, love his former band's name. As someone else said, this slightly reminds me of Melody. I do hope that nothing bad happens to his wife. It kind of feels like that, her not answering either of the calls on her birthday. Then someone uses her phone to contact next of kin, leaving a voicemail while they were finally consummating.
Decent game, and I think the pacing and storytelling is pretty good, although I sometimes think the internal struggle is a bit all over the place for our protagonist. That being said, it does justice to teenagers and young people a lot better than most other games, and jonesy can be proud of that achievement.
There are two that get alternate updates, so it may be a bit for each, but they are updated. New Years Day(e) will get the next update and it is now looking to be late December at the earliest. There are outside factors (a new job) that have contributed to the delays - (26) VN - Ren'Py - New Year's Day(e) [Ch. 4 v0.4.1] [Jonesy] | F95zone
He posted a week ago on Discord that he hopes to have the next update for Siren Song in March or April. He's about a month away from releasing the update to New Year's Daye roughly.
