NEW POLICY: Private albums will still publicly announce game(s) being worked on

Brief announcement: We've had private album projects in the past, and for the last few months we've had two, and there's an issue that comes up where someone else in the community unknowingly starts their OWN project of the same game.

To be 110% clear, we don't officially prohibit this, but we'd also prefer to not post two albums from the same game back-to-back, so it CAN affect release cycles.

We've recently decided (duh) that it's not fair to the community to have these private projects be COMPLETELY private - at the very least, we're going to announce the names of games being worked on, so would-be directors can decide for themselves whether to start their own projects from the same games. Again, to be clear, these are private albums being run by directors who prefer to do things that way, which IS an option that we respect & allow, so we're not going to release any additional information about these projects OTHER than the game name, and we ask that everyone respect the wishes of the director(s) who choose to run their projects this way. By the same token, though, we decided that keeping the actual names of the games private was problematic & not transparent.

The names of the games will be maintained at the thread @ http://ocremix.org/forums/showthread.php?t=25764

The two current private projects already in process are Final Fantasy 6 & Banjo Kazooie.

There is a third private project that we were going to announce the game for, but it's going to become public in about a week, so the director is waiting to make that announcement.

Questions, just let us know, and we apologize for any confusion that has resulted from keeping these or other projects' games private in the past.

erm i think if the album is private it would be a good idea to not even announce who is running the project perhaps, so people cant bug that person.
either way tho this idea makes perfect sense in my eyes.
hopefully it won't matter to many people.

We don't mention who's doing it, it is listed as private on the album tracking thread Definitely don't want people bugging those directors!

They can continue, they just wouldn't be released/published anytime soon. Probably years.

i guess it'd be years if no albums came out between them for years on end.
