Some good news! The pledge period for High Strangeness has ended and we reached our $1,500 goal! We couldn’t be happier and more motivated to keep the wheels churning.
In the meantime, we’ve put out a teaser featuring three tracks from the game, two of which are previously unreleased.

For the last year and a half I’ve had the pleasure of working on music and sound for “High Strangeness”, a sci-fi, retro-styled RPG concocted by my friend Steve Jenkins. The process has been deliberate but thoroughly enjoyable, and we’re finally starting to make some real progress. By the time the game is done I should have somewhere around 30 minutes worth of music written which is exciting in and of itself.
Not too long ago we decided to make the game a Kickstarter project so that we could truly do what we wanted to do: release the game on XNA (XBox Live Community Games) and give away some totally awesome stuff, including a short run of CDs featuring the game’s soundtrack!
Enjoy the trailer and go check out the Kickstarter page for more info!
MP3: A Single Ray of Light (Music from the Trailer). Enjoy!
I recently devoted my musical abilities to a small, retro style platformer developed by 16×16 for the Procedural Generation Competition over at TIGSource, a consistent and excellent source for all that is independent gaming.
Here’s a brief excerpt written by the developer about the story of the game: “A cargo airplane crashed somewhere above the wast areas of the Amita range. It was carrying a large shipment of beagles headed to the CutLab, a huge animal testing facility.
The Lab is upset about losing it’s precious testing material and is deploying a biohazard division determined to reclaim it’s property. They operate under the strict orders: seize the usable specimens, kill the rest.
We’re sending three of our elite animal rights activists to rescue as many dogs as possible before the Lab’s grunts confine them back to the life of endless misery.”
Check it out and let us know what you think!
