Had a bunch of fun last week for Fuse Jam making a ridiculous helicopter flying game where you re-unite estranged couples and save love! Me & the lovely folks I worked with were all super busy so I’m pretty proud that we managed to make something that’s pretty much finished!
You can play it over on itch here.
I’ve been working away on a few things recently, including finishing up some work on a great new podcast series for BCfm and working on a new short film with the lovely folks at CINE Ultra.
However, game wise I’m pretty quiet right now, with a few projects pending confirmation, I took the opportunity to work on some personal stuff and dug into the Celeste FMOD project to do an audio redesign of this awesome game.
I redesigned every single sound in here from scratch including all the footsteps, landings, slides, grabs etc as well as the more abstract and fun stuff. It was a great opportunity to learn a little more about FMOD too and I really feel like I’ve got a good handle on the basics now!
When I have some more time I plan to do a narrated walkthrough and maybe a more detailed blog post, but for now, check out the video below (stick around to the end to see me die repeatedly).
Went for a gentle ambient(ish) thing this morning, again playing around with the granular delay settings in Izotope DDelay quite a lot.
Definitely inspired by Besaid Island theme from FFX today.
Forgot to post again yesterday! So, two very contrasting styles for todays and yesterdays pieces. Starting with yesterdays, Harold Budd/Ryuichi Sakamoto inspired gentle solo piano stuff:
and todays, which is some weird, wonky 8-bit (ish) techno.
Went for something closer to my usual style today, I’ve been playing quite a lot of Faster Than Light recently, so I was imagining some kind of space based game while I was writing. As it happens, I’ve also been doing a bit of playing around with Unity, using Ray Wenderlich’s online course. So, after I’d written some music, I decided to make a looping version (and a couple of quick sfx) and implement them in the demo of “Space Debris”. Here’s a screen capture of what I made:
The sound design is still pretty rough and ready, and I have only implemented single sounds for now, but I’ll share a more polished version here once I’ve finished it up. The full piece of music is on my soundcloud page here:
