### Pushing Onwards [N163] [WIP]

Hey, anyone remember VVVVVV?
That was a thing.
(Alas, I was introduced to the 3DS version, and apparently people who bought it on Steam got a level editor... )
This FTM was sitting around on my computer, and then I started working on it again.
It went from 1/8 of the way done to 1/7 of the way done.

Pushing onwards.ftm
  Here it is

MY THOUGHTS:
- This song is really popular. I search it on youtube and find high quality rips, piano renditions, and yes, Famitracker covers. And I search it on the forums - Nothing! That's weird.
- UPDATE on that point... It's on the old forums.
- If I could go through to the end with this, it would be my biggest project by far, and I'm not even famous or skilled anything.
- I will probably have to add 2 or 3 more N163 channels, so goodbye clear sound quality.
- I'm trying to get as close to 1:1 as possible. It would seem as if the song consists of a couple square waves, like six 25% pulse waves, and high-quality MIDI drums.
- SPEAKING OF THE DRUMS. I am not the best at DPCM'ing, but with this I tried really hard, probably too hard, and am moderately proud of myself.
- That said, it will forever bother me that Pattern 02 of the DPCM is too quiet. Oh well.
-Also, I wasn't very efficient with the DPCM space. I probably won't run out anytime soon, but I could replace 'kick+snare' with 'whoosh-snare' and a Yxx
- I guess I could make a triangle kick, but, y'know, the DPCM kick is already imported and everything...
- The Noise Crash Cymbal sounds pretty bad
- I could import some cymbals for DPCM, but it would be weird...
- I will have to go back and make certain parts more accurate. I made a few patterns as placeholders - the correct notes are there, but they require some 4xy and Qxy action.

This is pretty good, so far!
Sometimes the counterpoint, bass can be too loud, so you'll need to turn them a bit for these patterns. Also, I don't know how to feel about the DPCM drums. Maybe I don't remember well, but I think the original had shorter drums. These are a bit too long. Otherwise, this is really good!
On a side note, if you ever finish this, will you also do a cover of "Pushing Gaywards", the ultimate parody of this song that even the original composer approves of? Or should I be the first to do that?

Never heard of it.
I looked it up.
I don't get it, so...
Well, if I finish, you can use it.

Well, it's just some clip from a gay porn movie, remixed into "Pushing Onwards". It's weird, random and funny, that's all
