Expanding my capabilities
Well I haven’t posted in a while, so I thought I’d give information on everything that has happened. Anyway, one of the things I’ve been doing recently is composing lots of music for people to use in their games and you can see some of it in the music section on this website.
It’s much better quality than my previous music and I have learn’t many new techniques (including a key one: reverb) which make the instruments sound better and the tracks flow more.
In the process I have joined a team called FAC (found here: http://www.freewebs.com/fallenangelgames/ ) as their lead composer and as a result of this change my approach to my current projects has shifted. Instead of spending months and months perfecting the latest version of FFD I am going to try to get it released as soon as possible.
However, I feel that ICMS will receive less and less development time as things go along and so I am considering releasing the code in its current state so that another developer can turn it into something really great. If you’re interested in taking over the project I’ll send you the code and I’ll give you help to understand what everything does. I’ll provide more news on this later.
Also, in addition to becoming their composer I’ve assumed other roles such as online programmer and 3D programmer due to my skills in those areas. While I’m not getting any significant PHP work, apart from setting up the websites and making them work correctly, I’ve been receiving 3D games development work. The last was a map editor for their online RPG called “GaLiv” (look on their website for more information) which I completed fairly successfully (I’ll provide screenshots sooner or later) and now I have been given the task of creating an (3D) RTS game.
I can’t really provide a great deal of information here right now, but I’ll at least be showing screenshots on this website and giving links to where you can download the game to play it (the game is officially created by the FAC team and I will likely be requesting help from other members of the team to complete the project). I’m open to ideas about how the game will work and if you’re interested just use my contact form to tell me what your opinions are. If I use your idea I’ll be sure to credit you in the game.
