Hello, Timberborn community! We want to tell you that you’re awesome. Thanks to the sales of Timberborn and Timberborn OST at the [url=https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1062090/view/3221771991321940380]Earth Appreciation sale[/url], we’ve just donated [b]$29.724,28[/b] to save foxes, raccoon dogs, and other animals in need taken care of by the Viva! Foundation in Poland. Thank you! It’s a perfect moment to announce a very special community project. See, we know that our players enjoy listening to the Timberborn soundtrack composed by Zofia Domaradzka. They also record the game-related songs on their own. So… why not both?! [previewyoutube=hk_5ota5MSs;full][/previewyoutube] Watch the video above and join us in recording “The Shores of Beaver Bay” - a beaver version of a 19th-century sea shanty! The music was arranged by Zofia Domaradzka, we have the community members on the verses, and we’re inviting you to join the chorus. Some of the devs will be there, too! The deadline for submissions is [b]May 13, 2022[/b]. For other key information as well as the early mix of the song feat. our player DerHouy, please watch the video above. There's also a FAQ section below. We hope you'll join us and we'll make "The Shores of Beaver Bay" the summer hit 2022 deserves! ~Team Timberborn [img]https://clan.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/images//36026812/f9c078254e9c9c59a701ba1353f49bb904bb21b9.png[/img] [i]No, we're not adding warships to the game but hey, it's a sea shanty![/i] [h1]Timberborn Sing-along FAQ[/h1] [b]What is this about?[/b] We’re recording a Timberborn-themed rendition of “The Shores of Botany Bay”, a traditional Irish shanty from the 19th century. [b]Is this official? Who’s doing that?[/b] Yes. The music was arranged by Zofia Domaradzka. The song features guitar and mandolin performance by Krzysiek Łochowicz and violin performance by Magdalena Szczebiot - Murawska. The lyrics and main vocals are provided by community members Synthron and DerHouy, and the chorus is open to everyone. Some of the Timberborn devs will also join the chorus (yikes!). [b]What do I need to do?[/b] Watch the video above. After Miami finishes his part, DerHouy takes over to help you with singing. Put on the headphones, get yourself comfortable, prepare your mic and recording software, and sing along! If you record that on the video, it will help us make a cool video for the final montage. [b]What are the lyrics?[/b] Here are the lyrics for the chorus (they’re also in the video description and in the video itself). [i]Good morning little beavers, good morning happy life, Let’s build a big and mighty dam before the drought arrives! With plenty trees for chopping, we'll block the water's way in the riverbed, keeping this land wet, living here in Beaver Bay![/i] [b]What if I can't sing this?[/b] You can! The more participants we have, the more harmonical the song gets, with the voices blending into one big, impressive chorus. Do not worry about your pitch, tone or perfect pronunciation. It’s about us all coming together to have fun! [b]How and when do I send my contribution?[/b] We have a [url=https://forms.gle/gEMcTaGEWPkhoXFg6]submission form[/url] for that. The deadline for submissions is Friday, May 13, 2022. Please note that: [list] [*] there's some selection process - we're not going to be very restrictive but if a recording has a very bad sound quality or we get too many submissions to handle, it may be rejected [*] if selected, you will be asked to digitally sign a copyright transfer contract with us - if you fail to do that, we legally can't use your contribution.[/list][b]What’s the deal with that copyright transfer contract? How do I sign this?[/b] If your entry is selected, we'll e-mail you to ask for details to be used in the contract (real name, address, and ID number). You'll then receive a contract to sign via DocuSign. If you haven't signed anything via DocuSign before, they will need to verify your identity in a video call first. This requires downloading a mobile app. [url=https://drive.google.com/file/d/1S2PWzQP2_Th6HiU-PsumVzmr23dvlRbl/view?usp=sharing]Here[/url] is the contract that we’ll need to sign with you if you want to review that in advance. We're sorry for all the hassle but Polish copyright laws oblige us to sign a contract. [b]How do you want to use the song after the final mix?[/b] We’ll put together a final montage with a video to unveil that at a special occasion. And who knows, perhaps it will not be the last you [i]hear[/i] of that song. [b]I have another question.[/b] Feel free to ask that on [url=https://discord.gg/timberborn]our Discord[/url]!
