In the first post are you adding the initial versions of the charts or the updated ones? The dungeon noise one at least appears to be the original

Meant to upload the newer one, that's the only old chart.

Which other ones should I do? Was considering a hi-fi one, old school revival, experimental (might be unnecessary since I have a noise, drone, jazz, and oddity one), and maybe a horror one.

I'd love to see Progressive DS, but honestly I think that would be kinda difficult because I can't think of any off the top of my head that aren't in the Dungeon Jazz or Experimental charts already.

Is it so bad if certain artists/albums show up on more than one chart?  Genre-spanning is lovely.

I don't think so personally, but I think thekeeper has specifically said that they don't want to use albums in more than one chart if they can help it.

these are really cool. I can't seem to access the charts though, maybe it's just my connection. I do see them on the FB group/.

These lists are great, but not be seen as an exhaustive list of a subgenera, but good representations, correct?

Yeah there were a couple exceptions for albums from artists that differ in genre/sound between releases (Deathbard) but I tried to keep things separate and singular so I don't over represent anyone across charts. Was hard to make these a-promotional so I included tons of artists. I've actually gotten a large amount of friend requests, messages, and attention (positive, at least) from making these that I didn't expect but I felt that I had to finish the span of sounds before retreating. I'll probably put these in an online album thing to have stickied in the fb group since many want that, but I won't have them credited to me. Trying to be more low-profile online in general (I enjoy the calm of the forum, though), so I'll eventually delete the individual chart posts from FB later on and just have an admin leave them somewhere on the group page. Might deactivate my FB after new Path releases are out, or perhaps create an anonymous one.

At first, the microgenres within DS that I was covering were small enough where I could put nearly all the releases of a particular sound in one chart, if not all of them. The last two were more exhaustive though since I wasn't leaving off hardly anything from the smaller charts and felt that I had to make the big two very complete, but I unfortunately I can't include everyone.

These charts are awesome, been using them alot to gain inspiration for upcoming releases. I am pleased to find my work on the midi-chiptune-toy chart, my most unlistenable release, but still I am honored to make the charts. I wasn't aware of the number of subgenres there were within DS, kinda makes me wonder what the rest of my releases qualify as. Still great work and I'm really hoping for that conancore chart.

You're on the old-school one, too. I liked Primitive Warfare. DS is pretty varied, but the bulk of it is made up by the minimal lo-fi sound and the symphonic big sound. I'm not going to make the barbarian chart. The only releases that come to mind for it would be Barak Tor, Unguth Vaentron, and Anger of Gods.

I like these charts, there are a few releases that I seemed to have missed. You picked the releases well for each list. And I like those variations in the genre, I mean Dungeon Jazz for example. Makes me pretty curious about that.

You've made a great work thekeeper thanks!

[thekeeper]

I'm getting more "where's my project?" comments and messages now so I kind of want to delete these since they're being taken as exhaustive/wholly representational depictions of certain sounds within DS. I don't know, maybe these make finding projects you haven't heard of less fun. There are certainly a lot of artists I haven't included, though.
