Cam Studio with the the k-lite codec pack works wonders. You just will need to find the right set of options. It's important you get the k-lite codec pack though. I recorded this with that setup...

I just listened to this album again. I haven't listened to it since the day it came out. I gotta say man, I like it a lot. My favorite songs are the more structured ones... "It Rains," and "A Walk in the Cold."

Your music's tonality is similar to the stuff I do... http://www.jamesdaniello.com/demo

Let me know if you want to do a collab some time. If you come up with some material you want to work on with me, send it over and I'll mess with it.

I loved every second of it. (Except you might want to consider altering that ringing sound in the last song, it might be a little grating). Excellent album though! I've listened 3 times to it!

Most Excellent! Downloading now.

Oohhh. I thought those were the worlds. Cool! So, there's a lot more for me to play than I thought. Sweet. *downloads and unzips*

Just to clarify I meant the second or third stage in world 2. I couldn't beat it because it was too frustrating. Specifically, I mean the level where there's the secret door if you dont press the switch that leads to Gigaloon(sp?).

I think there's just too many guys during world 2. Specifically, too many guys on the ground that knock you into the water. It's not the balloons really, it's all the stuff going on. World two should probably be 2/3rds the difficulty as it is at most, I think.

The game can work either as being really difficult or just difficult enough so that anyone can beat it, but you want the former. So, I suggest hinting at how difficult it will be in the earlier stages with a few more pretty difficult parts and maybe curving it a bit more. Psychologically to the player, the first world is a breeze and it gives the impression that the game will be more of a casual game, and then when you get to world 2 all hell breaks loose without much of a warning.

I agree.

This game is fun. However, the second world is much harder than the first. And, unless the game gets really really hard, you might want to tone down the second world just a little bit. I couldn't get past the area with the secret door where you fight gigaloon. I kept dying before I could get to the next area because of all the soldier guys, fish, balloons, clam guys, and everything else.

Great fun though. I can tell I liked it because even though it was really hard I kept playing it over and over again.

Maybe I can help point you in the right direction on how to program some AI. What's the next enemy you wish to tackle?

I don't get it. Also, why is your blog 'dead'?

Blorb. Aptly named because you control a blue orb.

Thoughts?

I've been working on a down-tempo chill-out album for 2-3 years now. I work on so many projects at once some times that it takes me forever to come around and finish them. I'd like to know what you guys think:

As a side note, if anyone is putting together a small game and needs a track or two for a game that's near completion I've been in the mood to get really creative and come up with some ambient stuff that really helps tells a story. I've been getting into design and music/color tonality lately and if anyone wants me to give them a few tracks for a game, I'd like to give it a shot. The only prerequisite being that the project should be near completion. If it works out, it works out. If not, no biggie. Let me know.

and.............. it does! I love it. This is great music. Now, where can I play this game?

This game is awesome. The concept is strong but what got me the most was the presentation. Excellent execution!

This is the most bizarre thing I have ever seen.

Finite State Machines are a great simple way to perform AI. You can switch out the state of the AI using an object oriented approach. If you want I can explain it in detail if you think it would help.

Synthesized brass is notoriously cheesy sounding. But your program sounds cool. I can't wait for a Windows version. What language is it in? Maybe I can lend a hand making a version that will compile for Windows.

Visit II is really cool. I enjoyed playing it, the only thing that drove me nuts was the music. Everything else is really cool. Welcome back!

Welcome Jefftronic, both of your games look pretty interesting and I'd love to see what you're working on now.
