Happy by Mistake

Posted by Mordi on Nov. 2, 2010, 7:39 p.m.

Yet another demoscene-cover.

Happy by Mistake wip.mp3

Spent the evening making this.

It's a cover of a nice tune by Drax, originally made in .xm (module) format in 1999. It's a slow, calm, chillax tune. More gloomy than happy, really.

I don't have the original in mp3 format.

Hope you'll …

Some sad tunes

Posted by Mordi on Oct. 18, 2010, 3:34 p.m.

Here are some melancholic tunes. None of which are finished.

This one is based on "Shape of my Heart" by Sting. I was instantly grabbed by the DVD-menu in the film "Léon", which plays an instrumental version of the song:

Fate of Léon.mp3

This is a remix of a nice …

Does this sound finished?

Posted by Mordi on Sept. 28, 2010, 4:19 p.m.

I have made this tune, and it's been sitting on the harddrive for quite some time. Recently, I got a friend to remake the guitar-part in the tune and so it's more or less finished. But does it sound good?

Sweet.mp3

Obvious room for improvement, or pretty much a wrap?

Stereo Love (steady state mix)

Made a little remix of "Stereo Love", which was a very popular dance-tune this summer. It's basically a calmed-down, "steady state" version of that track.

Here's the original:

XNA Progress

Posted by Mordi on Sept. 16, 2010, 3:33 p.m.

Since I am learning C# and I'm so fond of making menus, I figured I'd make a menu-system in C#. As of this writing, you can add buttons, smaller buttons, make lists and draw boxes. Still need to make pop-up dialogue-boxes and input-fields, I guess.

I think I'll make a …

Music

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 …

Asteroids (XNA)

Posted by Mordi on Aug. 28, 2010, 5:48 a.m.

I finished my Asteroids-clone in XNA.

Here's the ccgame-file.

Asteroids.ccgame

You'll need the XNA-framework installed.

Screenshots:

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 …

Love's Not For Me

Posted by Mordi on Aug. 14, 2010, 2:31 p.m.

Here's a song:

http://mordi.ziphoid.com/data/music/work_in_progress/Love's%20not%20for%20Me.mp3

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 …

In-game Mockup 2

Posted by Mordi on July 31, 2010, 11:11 p.m.

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.

Logo thing and other nincompoopery

Posted by Mordi on July 31, 2010, 4:13 a.m.

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 …
