Sweet pixel portrait

March 19, 2012 by Ben

You may have noticed the new portrait for my header image. That was made by the awesome Bryan Ma. The banner-style header cuts out quite a bit, so I’m going to put the entire image here. If you’ve been playing games for a particularly long time, you might notice the portrait has been done in the style of Lucasarts’ classic The Dig.

I wrote a rambling post about Gravity Ghost and music inspiration

March 19, 2012 by Ben

And you can read it here. I wrote this all in one sitting the night before GDC started, but it actually came out pretty well.

Gravity Ghost site is now live

March 1, 2012 by Ben

Just in time for GDC, Erin Robinson has finally made Gravity Ghost public. Gravity Ghost is a game about a ghost girl who hurls herself through space and brings life to various small planets. You can check out some art and Erin’s writeup at the official site here. I’ve already written quite a bit of music for the game, and hopefully we’ll be able to share a bit of it soon. Exciting!

Kickstarter update – secret music!

March 1, 2012 by Ben

Holy Jumpin Mother O God in a Sidecar with Chocolate Jimmies and a Lobster Bib!  The FTL Kickstarter is well past $50,000!  This is ridiculous. Seriously guys. You are all nuts.

Wow! Did you see this? Funding has already tripled our original goal, and it’s only been like a day or so.  Thanks to everyone who pledged! This goes directly to making more awesome music for the game.

I’m making music and sound for FTL

November 26, 2011 by Ben

Someone’s making a Roguelike spaceship game and I get to make the music for it. This is like if someone asked Elvis to write a song about a peanut-butter-and-banana sandwich; I consume this kind of product all the time and thus am uniquely qualified to deliver music. You should check out the game and then tell your friends about it.

New project!

March 29, 2011 by Ben

So I’m working on the soundtrack for a game that I’m very excited about. I can’t tell you much about it, but it’s being developed by Erin Robinson, who also made Puzzle Bots. I will at least show you the one piece of artwork that she’s made public, and hopefully she won’t hurt me for that: Once we’ve officially announced the game I’ll probably post some sample music from the game as well.
