Every time I program the soundtrack for one of my games I get inspired with how I could perfect the engine for music.
\nI know that a long term goal will be to program a composer. It’s my personal creative crusade. :) I want to create something that, with some degree of intelligence, really “makes” music while you play.
\nAlthough realizing that goal is still a ways off, I’m very proud of my current achievement.<\/p>\n

Offender 2 development has covered a lot of ground since my last blog post update<\/a>.
