Creating games and epic synthphonic music!
Alwa’s Awakening 8bit Edition is a really good game. It is a de-make of the original. They did a really good job at downsizing the levels. It brought back childhood memories, when I was playing the original Metroid, or Castlevania II. They had huge worlds to explore. This spoiled generation will never know the fun…
I’ve been making music for more than 25 years now, but making chiptunes is a foreign process to me! No lush atmospheric pad, no realistic samples, no Cubase. I couldn’t get used to Famitracker, but I found Famistudio, a great tool by fellow Canadian @NesBleuBleu. In order to make the soundtrack to The Trial of…
Adventurequest 8-Bit Dungeons & Doomknights is a fun game. A funny game. A fun funny game. And maybe it’s my only complain: The fact that everything in this game is a joke is somewhat annoying, because after a while you start to wonder if it’s worth investing a lot of your time into a joke….
I made the music and sound effects for gravelblock’s new game Dream Hook!
Title screen done! Meet Kharzoid, the evil necromant. This badboy takes a full 4k of background tile, but I think it’s worth it
Here’s some gameplay with 4 paddles. I added temporary music from “The Immortal”, that’s the kind of ambiance I will go for.
I must say that I have mixed feelings. I certainly enjoyed it. There is some nice pixel art, the music is good and there’s a huge map to explore. But don’t expect this game to be what it isn’t. It’s a monster slasher with some RPG elements, it isn’t Zelda, nor Crystalis.
I didn’t know what to expect but I did enjoy it. It is weird, it is challenging, it is fun. You play as a band member, you can switch between them, each having his own weapon. That’s a nice feature, although I played as TJay most of the time.
I finally played Spacegulls, from the creators of Micro Mages and Böbl. It’s a charming little platformer starring a space seagull who must rescue some seagull cosmonauts. The first version of Spacegulls was made in 1 week and won 1st place in the NESdev Compo 2020/21. Man, I wish I could develop such a nice…
Here is some early concept art for my arkanoidvania.
