On unhappily trying to do 8 things at once.

More game-distractions. I play guitar a bit in my spare-spare time (about 1min/day) so a guitar synth was always on the cards. It sounds ok but is more useful as a chord reference rather than an instrument. Click to play:

I have been playing with synthesizers quite a bit lately and have been getting a lot better at it since my first few attempts. Here are some of the ones I have been playing with:

And a more complicated one:

Some time I’ll get round to packaging this all up into a nice neat integrated music package for use in games.

Frankly the prospect of spending 10 minutes a day keeping the 3 people who visit my site each day (one of which appears to be a spam bot) up to date on my rather uninteresting life is soul destroying to say the least. However that said I really should post periodic updates whenever the site changes. So without further ado I present to you (well two of you anyway, the spam bot can go to hell):

Update 1

• Added a few games that were rather more fun in my head than on screen. Bouncy Ball, SwitchTrack, Rally2D. Actually I’m quite pleased with Rally2D and it’s possibly the most playable game I have ever made. Unfortunately I seem to have lost all motivation to continue development on it.
• Added new Tools section. I have written the first of what I hope will be at least a few tools that someone will find usefull.

So finally got round to installing WordPress and we now have the beginnings of a proper website for broadcasting my thoughts and progress on the all consuming hobby of game development. Next update likely some time in the year 2014 but we’ll see how we get on.
