I’ve been working on this one for a while, though recently I’ve revamped it and improved it by a million fold. I present, to you, the drawing tools for Rotat’s level editor.

The pen draws shapes, the hand moves shapes and the X deletes shapes. Once you start drawing a shape, you can close it by clicking on the first point again. Also, the canvas (in white) is movable.

This is one of my personal favourite examples of my drawing API usage. This one uses some great trig to automatically curve as you draw.

The Rotat level editor will rely on this for user experience, and I believe it is intuitive. Please offer any recommendations to make it more intuitive.

A track “Angst of the Teenage Variety” has been proposed for a yet to be titled pop-punk project with my mate Sam.

It is horrible and contains potentially offense material.

As an experiment in finding a mix for the upcoming Vyrion disc, I recorded a new instrumental version of A Brother’s Lament from the original Vyrion demo. It has a few arrangement changes too.

Listen here.

For reasons unknown to all I have decided to do a rocked-up version of Oasis’ track Wonderwall.

It’s faster, harder, louder and rockier - not that it needed to be. Take a listen if you want.

I decided to try my hand at isometric 3D. I’m developing a basic API called IsoMetrix. It handles all the movement and trig whilst allowing simple adjustments to all axis’.

The company I work for, Cru Digital, has a use for this - and most of the engines me and my colleague Matt looked at were unnecessarily complex. Hopefully, with a some further tweaking, this can do the job we want.

It has been a little while since I posted - in the last couple of weeks I’ve been pushing out some websites for Cru. (more on this soon)

I have, just today, finished recording/writing the third Vyrion track for the upcoming EP titled “The Victim”. At just under eight minutes long, it could do with a few revisions, but I’m sick of mixing. If I get back to it, I’ll switch the files.

Become “The Victim”

UPDATE - Has been properly mastered, I got sick of getting sick of mixing.

Lately I haven’t been doing alot of graphic or logo design, so it was nice to get the chance to spend a few moments pondering over what the new Vyrion logo should look like.

Here it is…

Overall, I’m very happy with the results… let me know your thoughts.

This metal track is the direct follow-up to The Decider - though it was written a while beforehand. Once titled “The One That Mark Hates That Isn’t Green”, this is likely to appear on the next Vyrion disc.

Listen to ‘The Decision’

I’ve recently made this demo, at work, for an advertising firm named Hook. It is entirely scripted - even the hook - and no library elements were used to create it.
