Game Music

Suite of game music composed for blenderartists.com WIP game Kingdom Under Siege!

Blender game engine project collaboration

Recently I have become involved as composer in several video game projects using the Blender Game Engine over at blenderartists.org
Below are excerpts of my work on various projects so far. Hopefully many more to follow!

Warzone II - First person shooter similar to Quake 2

MORE more film cues

Two more film cues - The first is an action cue written to a timestamped script, the second a star wars-esque sci-fi cue using one of Williams' original themes and one of my own..





Music Box (Blender Game)

Below is a link to a music game I created in the Blender game engine. It's fairly intuitive, although there is no fixed objective. You are the green cube, you move around with W S A and D; press space to change level (and Q to fly in level 3) and crash into the other geometric shapes. When you do so, music will start playing. A different loop will play for each different shape you come into contact with. You can try and hit them so the loops play in time with one another, which is challenging, or in the ambient level, hit them whenever you choose.
There is no way to stop the music playing once it has been started but you can, with some effort, push the shapes off the edge. They will take the music loop with them and you'll even hear the doppler effect as they pick up speed and fall into the void. Be warned though, you can also fall off!

More film cues

Have worked on a couple more film cues.

This one is a zombie film track for an upcoming short by amateur film-maker Stephen Hope. The brief was one minute of suspense followed by one minute of action sequence.
