The Sounds & Music Of Offender 2 (Production Notes)
I’m happy to say that I’ve finished all the artwork, animation, and coding for Offender 2, and I’ve been busily working on the final stage of development: music (and sounds). It’s been a whirlwind of creativity, and the direction the music has gone is both spooky and humorous. I’m happy with the quality, and it has added a lot to the game. Playing the finished portions of it is really something, to say the least. I love how it takes itself serious, and is so ridiculous at the same time. You’re not sure if you want to laugh, or slip...

Today I checked my meatspace mail and had a pleasant surprise waiting for me. Issue #201 of Imagine Shop’s Web Designer Magazine arrived (where Tetrageddon Arcade is making an appearance in the Design Diary). I’m thrilled (and love pictures) so here are some shots of this beautiful publication: “Graphics get in the way of usability… very true in games. Development is the most important part of the production cycle. Tetrageddon needed to be fun before making it pretty.” Sometimes, when you’re truly down, and start questioning why you do what you do… and if it’s worth doing at all, life...

I started working on Tetrageddon Arcade this year, after a pretty rough last year, and I have to say that I’m incredibly encouraged with how it’s been received. It’s a true blessing, so thank you everyone for your support! The site has already gotten an amazing amount of publicity. I’d like to extend a warm thank-you to everyone who has helped make this possible, and especially the players. I would not be able to work on this again if it weren’t for you. Because of this I’m confident in my choice to focus on my own personal creative work, and...

Recently Tetrageddon has been open sourcing games (all assets are there, and free to use under a creative commons share-alike license) via a “view source” option. The aim is to encourage collaborative adaptations, sharing of games, and for the project to become a resource (in the long run). Most of the games have also been developed for playing on the Nintendo Wii (Wii Browser – such as Haxed By Megahurtz, Offender, and They Came From My Inbox). Which brings me to more recent developments! …I am pleased to announce that some games are now available as a standalone desktop PC...

The music video for the song Gay, Gypsy And Jew is live. The song is the creative genius of the cross-cultural mash up known as Rotfront (Emigrantski Raggamuffin Kollektiv). Produced by the equally brilliant cross-cultural mash up record label Essay Recordings – home of Gypsies, Jews, and some of that global ethnic beat. Other artists behind it are: RotFront featuring András Kéri / MC Columbo (Irie Maffia, Brains), Gipsy.cz, Gaya Arutyunyan (Deti Picasso, Vattican Punk Ballet), Mickael Franci (Mala Vita), Annette Ezekiel Kogan (Golem), Rude (La Maquina), Perkalaba, Daniel Kahn, DJ Ipek, Wladimir Kaminer. In a world that’s growing increasingly...

For reference and portfolio purposes (mainly organizational) I am posting some of the Disney work that I’ve done. I will be updating this list as I find more samples and projects. As many know The Disney Channel website is massive so it’s hard to dig up references older than a week. These have been done for various departments. Some had very specific visual and design standards/ethics to follow, others had to be improvisational and created on the fly. Please note, that I am NOT responsible for the game design ideas. They had very specific guidelines, and wanted someone to put...
