Today I give you three tunes.
First, an original tune:
Nostalgia wip.mp3
80's style, with my trusty fake acoustic. May try to convince someone to do vocals.
Then, a vangelis-ish tune:
Vangelisy wip.mp3
Half Mordi, Half Vangelis.
...and lastly an old tune that I 'remastered':
Alternative Fuel.mp3
This one is a remix (originally by Jeroen Tel).
I finished my Asteroids-clone in XNA.
Here's the ccgame-file.
Asteroids.ccgame
You'll need the XNA-framework installed.

Looks pretty tacky, but I didn't want to focus on the graphics here. I made it to learn C#. The reason I wanted to learn C# (again) was DesertFox's little XNA-tutorial, which he posted here not too long ago. This time I've finally gotten further with it.
Here's a song:

The vocals were tweaked with Melodyne, so they are a bit rough around the edges. They were originally meant for a song with a totally different chord-structure.
I'm really fond of the composition. It is originally by Graham Gouldman (yet another bassist-reference here on 64D).
He made it in the 70's, for an animated movie called "Animalympics". The film is simply amazing, mostly because of the awesome music in the film. Graham did the entire soundtrack.

Anyway...
I'm trying to learn XNA (C#) again. Gotten a bit further this time. What killed me the last few times trying to learn was how to do instancing and how to maintain a structure. I just gave up. Doing better now, though. DF's tutorial gave me a push.
I'm making an Asteroids-clone to learn.
Pretty exciting graphics.
Now I'm doing the beginnings of something that looks like in-game graphics.
I stole the grass and the dirt from Heroes of Might and Magic 3.
In unrelated news, I made another tune. It's a nice composition. Pretty simple, but it works. It's a remix.
A Child is Dead.mp3
Today I made this:
They are meant to be UI-graphics.
and then I made this:
If I ever make an RPG, I'll call it RPG-something and use this for a logo.
I just realized I've probably made more graphics for this inexistent game than most people do on their entire project!
