16th in audio! Thx guys!!!

I finally accomplished my dream of reaching the top 25 board in audio!!! This time, I totally flunked on everything else, mainly because I didn’t care about the other aspects of the game, I focuses solely on audio, and how I could make this games audio stand out. So to set myself apart, I decided to feature in this game, something that hasn’t been done often before. I decided to revolve the game around vo-coded voice acting. I figured probably nobody else would have that in their game, and it paid off. My biggest regret this Ludum Dare, was I failed on the gameplay and the theme. I loosely based this game on the theme to allow a deeper story, which would give me a better frame for voice acting, but people didn’t see the correlation between the theme and my game very well. Next LD, now that I have accomplished my goal, I plan on focusing more on the gameplay, and having a good interpretation of the theme.

Here’s my game if you are still interested.

 

And here is my newest collection of tracks I just released!

Thank you so much guys for making my dream come true!

Post-Ludum Dare work

Hey guys! I had a great Ludum Dare, and I hope you did too. I reached my goal of placing on the top 25 in audio, so I’m really proud of myself right now. I want to share some a new track I have been working on. A lot of what I do in this song, I learned from Ludum Dare.

Monster

My newest track, Monster, started off as a test for a couple of chords, nothing big. It was all going great, it sounded good, so I decided I should expand this beyond just a test. I started working on the chorus, not expecting to do anything out of the ordinary. I actually created a rough-draft for the chorus that was decent, but then I stumbled across the most amazing, hardcore bass growl every created!!! I had experimented with bass growls in the past, and some were good, but never have I heard anything as insane and brutal as this bass growl! It sounds as if a monster is yelling at you though heavily modulated, already monster-like, bass growls (That’s where the name comes from). What I did to create this bass growl, was I created a very stupid audio clip of me saying random words, then vo-coded them using a pre-existing bass growl I had already created. After modulating the vocal clips, and vo-coding it through the bass growl, it created a mega growl! This growl is unlike anything I’ve every heard before.  Check it out for yourself here.

I hope you enjoy!

Post-LD Projects

Hey guys! I have some awesome new projects to share and some really exciting news! Today I released my newest EP and a track that I collaborated with D3ST1N to produce. Here is a update of some of what I’ve produced since Ludum Dare.

Psychosis

Psychosis is DEFFINATLY the best track I’ve produced yet, and it collabing with D3ST1N was just awesome. His style is so aggressive and fun, I had a blast collaborating. Combining our style was just beautiful. We both have similar aggressive dubstep styles, but yet our styles are so different. The combination was just amazing in my opinion. I really hope you enjoy listening to this track as I much as I enjoyed creating it.

 

Even more news!!!

I released a new EP today, featuring the song Ghost Stories

Ghost Stories

I had a blast creating everything in this new EP, Ghost Stories is personally my favorite track in the EP, besides Psychosis. I feel like it is the most complete and professional track I have created solo, and I just love the eerie feel :D. Please Check out my new EP!

I just released this for a remix competition!…

Pre-Ludum Dare Warm-ups / I’m In post

Hey guys! I’m in for my 7th times! Last Ludum Dare was amazing, and I placed #16 in Audio and #60 something in Mood… But I tanked all the other categories. My entry was solely based on the atmosphere, and this time around. I am not going to make the same mistake. I want to focus on making a simple, addictive, fun game that is enjoyable to play. My goals this LD, are top 10 in audio, top 100 in fun, and top 250 in overall.

 

I’m in.

 


In preparation for this upcoming Ludum Dare. I’ve been working on some new tracks and new style. I feel like I am finally at a skill level that I can place top 10 in audio. Listen to my new tracks here…

“Go on a journey” Post Mortem / HAPPY BIRTHDAY ME!

I will keep this post-mortem short because I don’t have much to say about my game…

 

Go on a Journey or something

What went right :

  • Nothing major went wrong
  • The bow and arrow mechanics turned out flawlessly
  • The music was turn out really well.
  • The gameplay was actually fun this time
  • Art wasn’t as horrid as usual

 

Want went Wrong :

  • For some reason, everybody didn’t quite understand the mechanics. Actually, the only person that said they didn’t was Jupiter Hadley, but she counts as everybody.
  • When voice acting, I was going for a annoying but funny voice acting… But it turned out just to be annoying.
  • The games difficulty curve was sorta sharp.
  • I ran out of Mt. Dew in like my first 2 hours.
  • And I just feel like the game was missing something.

Overview…

I don’t know what it was… But I just wasn’t feeling it this LD. I think it was the theme, I wasn’t particularly fond of it. Overall, it was a good LD. I got most of what I wanted done, done. Next Ludum Dare, I will crush it, I can just feel it.

 


HAPPY BIRTHDAY ME!!! In celebration of my birthday, I released a new track on my soundcloud. You can listen to it here…

Post-LD projects

Since this last Ludum dare, I have been focusing on new/better methods for producing my tracks, and it has been a huge success. My tracks have sounded better and more professional… Check them out here… And please follow me on soundcloud

Also, check out the soundtrack to the song. I am pretty proud of it considering how little time I spent on it.

Entry

I’m to tired to write about my entry, or add any fancy visuals (mostly because my game doesn’t have any).
