I stumbled upon Juno reactor the other month, and after getting a bunch of their songs, I've come to theconclusion that think they are awesome. Apparently, they're 'goa' electronicka (whatever that means). You've probably heard them - they did most of the music for Reloaded and Revolutions.

I've got big plans for the music in Danse machina too. I plan to add 'dynamic' music. Basically, when nothing is going on, the music will be basic atmospheric stuff, but when an enemy comes around, it will add a beat track/etc. . The bigger the shit-fight gets, the harder the music will get. I'm also looking at timing the music to the weapons fire. So when a weapon fires, a small sample is added to the music track for a bar or so. I thought that would be kinda cool.

There won't be much time for DM in the next few weeks though - I'm going to be very, very busy with uni work. I need to finish my machinima movie quickly, and I'v got a 3d marble madness game to make, as well as a few other things. One of the biggest is going to be a game pitch document. I'll be using DM, so I'll probably post most of it here at some point for you to look at.

I'd like to get to work on my civ game, but the time issue comes to play again… I'll keep you all posted on that one.

I've also noticed that people are up in arms about my gender on GMG :P Just about every topic in the off-topic has someone say something about whether I'm a girl or guy. I like to keep them in the dark though. You'd think it would be easy to spot… One day some admin is going to get annoyed. I think its cute though.

Hmm… not much else to say, except I got Company of Heroes (Relic's ew RTS) and I gotta say… wow.

thats it. just wow.

And if you haven't seen it in action, get it. Right. Fucking. Now.

And you will surely agree. Wow.

Put it this way. Every unit is fully bump-mapped. Everything in the game uses real-time Havok physics (including tank/artillery shells - that is something to experience). It take RTS to a completely new level. And I mean completely new level. Relic are really stepping up to the plate with their latest few games, and the work they do is sure to change the face of RTS from here on in.

Okay, so I had a bit more to say than wow, but I haven't even touched on the incredible AI and tactical gameplay (which is incredible).

Anyways, I'll be home on Tuesday, so I might blog again then. Byees.
