100%.

That looks like a sweet animation. Your game is coming along extremely well by the looks of it mate, and I've heard some of the other music Kevin is working on, it's all sounding bloody great. I forsee a nicely polished project. And that's not even taking into account this will be your first project of this sort, awesomeness!

In game youtube demo to be honest

LQ (so much so that HQ button will make it bearable to watch) Video of a game trailer for one of the game projects Dan & I are currently writing Music and SFX for. The demo is out now! Go download it and check it out! http://trashman.x10studio.com/

Anyways. I mixed the music from the demo to the trailer, and rendered a strange bit crushing swell to put at the beginning, apart from that, it's the old trailer just a lot more compressed. I shoulda asked them to give me the HQ one :|


HQ one incoming?

Interesting art work of Asha here, what you've done there so far is awesome btw :D!!

I didn't know that :|... and I wrote the freakin music, man.. bad times.

Aw man I love the Iji music. I actually didn't know it either until I saw it in a guide or something. Turns out there's a bazillion cutscenes and conversations that you may or may not see, depending on how you play.

Thanks. Yeah my playing style didn't involve a lot of reading. Shame on me

I am implored to go and play World of Goo right now. Good job.

[*SPOILERS*]

Edit: Oh yeah-
*SPOILERS*

Im a duck.. pour water on my back, no bother, comes right off. Sorted.


I also can play what I hear in my head, which helps. The voices.. are not so playable, however.

lol, he is vital to my mental health, and I am vital to his.



Duck Pals Forever! Though I do still wonder how he plays with those wings..

Happy tunes? This is a game of sorrow and extreme remorse.   

I use Cubase Studio 5 (educational discount) got it at pugh.co.uk for 170GBP. Which is great, since students can get a hold of this amazing software at such an affordable price, least, in comparison to it's original price, which is considerably more

Anyway. I have an M-Audio Fast Track Pro as my audio interface, and an M-Audio Keystation (88 keys, semi-weighted) MGear Sustain pedal, and a guitarist called Dan. With all of that I manage to scramble some sounds, classy style. And just about any free VST you can get your hands on, I will have tried. I recommend Cubase Studio 5, it's excellent. Really.. check out the features, truly good.

Aw that's a shame, I really enjoyed the last build! The verbal abuse kept me going.. some how .. *sniff*

I'd like to stress that Carv is indeed my best friend IRL and helped me do the jump and run SFX (new run SFX are not in demo, theyll be in full version) not to mention the death effect, which is a mix of both our voices.

This is possible, but improbable.. so I remain silent! Your eyes will pop outta your head when you see what else we are behind lol. Too much, i need to lie down.


Get the blinkin TrashMan demo though! HUZZAH! Tis rock!

Note sure why Ari hasn't posted here but I will update you all as an avid fan of TrashMan, (and indeed, the audio director on the Extend Studio team):


http://trashman.x10studio.com/

The new demo is out! With HyperDuck Music as the sound team behind it. Dan & I did Iji before this if you remember it, and are in the midst of a few projects, both complete and in progress, but this is a SERIOUSLY fine update to TrashMan, the mouse aim is now implemented and makes such a massive difference. I highly recommend you go and play the updated demo. Naow.

Cubase isn't too hard to grasp a hold of. What is Reason good for? I hear good things of it, but nothing that explains its niche focus. Electronic stuff possibly? This is just from some peoples I know who used ti for electronica stuff. Tasty.

Trackers are hard to use, I reckon, harder than Cubase. You have a great skill there, I am jealous

Oh hell yes! I remember YS III had some totally sweet music. A few of my personal favorites:

And who could forget the item get fanfare?

Yes! YS stuff is awesome, I personally never have seen any YS stuff until Dean told me he was a big fan of it, so i checked it out. Excellent music, so freaking excellent!

I have heard it, and it.. is gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooood.

Haha yes, excellent stuff!

Currently composing music for 'Dust: An Elysian Tail'





Amongst a few projects. Keeping nice and busy, and please refrain from the 'furry' rant. Rather tired of it if I am frank. And you are Julianne. Sweet Julianne... 

And of course working on Indie Brawl Iji stuff but you can't see that yet WUV YALL!

I've seen this game (which is amazing, though I don't particularly LOVE furries, like many others) so the epilepsy was for your music ...

I have a question if you don't mind ...

As for the question of what sort of music to create, how was it decided and how do you describe that style of music?

Hey :D sorry didn't remember to check in here! Well Dean Dodrill (the creator of Dust) suggested what he wanted the game to sound like.. and linked me a few tracks.. well sent me some tracks. He has a big soft spot for YS stuff (

) So I followed that style.. To be quite honest.. I'm afraid to suggest a genre for it, to be safe, I will just say.. video game music?  sorry dude! haha, I can't really put my finger on it.. Japanese epic pop rock? I've said too much.

Thanks for the support, I love your track btw. And a lot of your other materials, I was blasting out your tunes yday :D


May I ask? What do you use for your music? I mean in particular, what VSTs did you use for 'Runner'

A friend of mine is working on a game that essentially needs an 8-bit esque sound.. but so far the vsts I have given him aren't really up to scratch for the sound he requires.. If it is a tracker you use, then.. nevermind heheh. We're Cubase fiends in HyperDuck. As is my pal.

Cool pieces, seems rather happy for the imagery you displayed in Cafe though, I get a much darker feeling when looking at Cafe. But that's just an opinion.

That march he has going is cool! But there isnt anything I could compare it to.. or is there?
