This weekend was Ludum Dare again, and again Switchbreak asked me to write some music for his entry. It's called Underground City Defender, and it's a HTML5/Javascript game, so you can play it in your browser here! The original idea for the game was to

With new consoles on the market, and plans to move to San Francisco later this year, I figured it was time to cut down on some of the console clutter I've collected over the years. For now, I still have our 360 and PS3, but I've

The draw of the familiar can be a funny thing; I don't often replay games, but sometimes, after enough time has passed, all it can take is a brief mention somewhere to bring back a wave of fond memories, and the desire to relive them. Over the last

This weekend was Ludum Dare 26, and as usual when Switchbreak enters such things, I took the opportunity to tag along. The theme was "minimalism", but his game, called MinimaLand, deliberately eschews that theme; it tasks the player with bringing life and detail in to a very minimalist

I've spent the last week working on a game for the Seven Day Roguelike Challenge with Switchbreak and Amanda Lange, and by virtue of the fact that it's a seven-day project, it's now finished! It's called Cosplay Mystery Dungeon, and you

Over the last week I've put a bunch of time in to my new game project, a Switchbreak game called Civilian. I've been working on music for it, but this blog post isn't about music -- it's about the crazy stunts you can

Things have been quiet here of late, but I've actually been quite busy! I've just finished the sound design for Candy Grapple, the latest game from my good friend Switchbreak. It's based on one of his Ludum Dare games, Waterfall Rescue, but it'

Things have been decidedly quiet here after the flurry of activity across March and April, but thankfully, in the real world, things haven't been quite so quiet. I've been working on a new project with a couple of really talented guys, and while I can'

Here's a little something I put together: a video of a trip to the Mün in Kerbal Space Program, edited in to a music video for the first track from my RPM 2012 album, periapsis: I had to cut about two-thirds of the video to fit it

It seems like half the people I know have put hours in to Minecraft, but I've been spending my time with another indie sandbox game: Kerbal Space Program, a rocket-building spaceflight simulation. KSP gives you a bunch of rocket parts, an editor to build those parts in

Few games have had as powerful a combination of sight, sound, and action as Rez, Tetsuya Mizuguchi's music-driven shooter, so when Mizuguchi demonstrated its spiritual successor at last year's E3, I was sold on it instantly. Child of Eden plays much like a Rez sequel,

My good friend Switchbreak produced another game recently -- Waterfall Rescue, a Flash game with a great single-button control mechanic that's a lot of fun to play. He wrote the game in 48 hours for Ludum Dare 20, which is a solo competition, but he spent some time
