Breath of Death VII released!

It’s been quiet around here for a bit while I dealt with some personal stuff, but finally some news.

Breath of Death VII, a retro-styled RPG was released on the Xbox Live Indie Games platform the other day and it features two tracks by the person that has written this very blog post. Specifically, I wrote the battle music and the final dungeon music, both tracks I’ve posted on here already.

It takes a parody route and promises 5-6 hours of gameplay, which isn’t bad at all considering it only costs a buck (80 Microsoft Point things). And also it has my name in the credits, so surely that’s reason enough for you to immediately halt your current activites and purchase at least seven copies.

The game’s site can be found here and you can find the game’s XBLIG page here.

The dudes making this game put out a trailer featuring some familiar sounding tunes.

Not much to report. Have a work-in-progress:

It peters out at the end because that is the exact moment I stopped writing for the day. I’m just writing random stuff for now, waiting on some more details from a couple of the projects I’m involved with.

Someone mail me a big bucket of money, that’d be nice.

The Update of Fate

Time for a blog update, I guess.

Right, well on top of that guy using those tracks in their upcoming XBL indie game I’ve had a few people message me looking for music. This was fantastic news until I realised all the work I was gonna have to do.

I’m not sure how solid they are so don’t want to name any projects. I’d rather let the project developers do that so they can establish such things themselves/exert their considerable control/set up a three month hype train with staggered info releases.

Anyway, for one project I’m trying out Pxtone, and attempting to harness it long enough to allow me access to the retro-sounding melodies so many these days desperately crave. I made a test song that might end up in a game, who knows.

This is it in Pxtone’s native .pttune format.

Hopefully, more good news soon, but for now I’ve got to get my head down and work on these projects. So far, the release date for all of them is ‘March/April’, which in indie gaming means we might see them before 2011.

Edit: And here’s an MP3, of which I forgot:

So I got an email via my profile at IndieGameMusic.com (which is here, this hyperlink, here it is, look) asking for the only two songs I have listed there to be used in a game. I feel foolish for not listing more tracks there, but I guess I have incentive to do so now that I know people use it, which is awesome.

The game is Breath of Death VII, an X-Box Live Indie Game due out in March/April. The game looks interesting, but I’m just happy to get my music into another project. It’s gonna use Tight Spot for the battles (so they should be super epic) and Testimony for the final dungeon (so it should be super period).

More info when we get closer to the release date, as the ebb and flow of time inevitably creeps up on us like the cold hand of the reaper.

Cheerio!
