Mega Man 42 is in its beta testing phase and is less than a week away from releasing! There is even a trailer out for it right now (compliments of a fellow composer for MM42). In a couple days, we'll be doing a sort of podcast session which will showcase the game. I will be appearing to talk about my process and things of that nature. In the end, I ended up contributing to about 60% of the music and ripped all the sound effects from various, older Mega Man titles for re-purposing. I also created updated versions of the jingles found in many of the games. The following are original compositions of mine that will appear in MM42:
- Ombuds Man Theme
- Sky Man Theme
- Boss Theme
- Dr. Wily Stages 1 and 2
- Dr. Wily Stages 3 and 4
- Dr. Wily Boss Theme
- Epilogue
Very shortly, I will be putting together a reel of my work on MM42. More on that soon.
I am now working with Servadac on his latest title: Prometheus - The Fire Thief. Like MM42, the music will be chiptunes through and through, styled after the 8-bit era of gaming. Check out the game's page for more information/progress updates as they are posted. Things seem to be moving along at a brisk pace and the game is expected to release in the near future. The biggest difference with this project is that I will be scoring the entire game. I may even be contributing to a portion of the sound effects.
On a less professional note, I am more than half finished with the final mix and master of the first studio album (Human Interface) of my Electronic project, Automatic Chance. The project is a brother-sister duo which exploits our nostalgic affinity for retro gaming and combines it with an ultramodern take on EDM/Industrial music. This fusion we have christened "Leetcore." The music was entirely composed, engineered, produced, and mastered by yours truly and I also contributed to vocals on a number of songs. However, the vast majority of lyrics were written and performed by my sister, who provides an edgy, cynical poetry drenched in radical musings. The album will consist of 18 tracks and include a hefty art booklet filled with lyrics and artwork. If progress keeps up at this rate, Human Interface should see its release within the next month.
