Need For Speed: The Run 3DS and Wii

This is a screenshot of the new game I’m working on at Firebrand in Glasgow.

It’s the 3DS version of Need for Speed: The Run.  Looks pretty snazzy doesn’t it?

You should see it moving and in full 3D.

We are also making the Wii version in-house.

It’s due for release in November.  More news soon!

Music for ‘Shepherd’

Well, at least that’s the working title.  Shepherd is Infinite States of London’s next effort – a frantic score attack shooter.  There’s cute sheep to protect, ugly aliens to destroy, cosmic space age weapons, destructible landscapes, score multipliers… everything a growing boy could need.

Here’s a couple of teaser tunes I’ve made for it so far

Super Snake HD on AppStore

Hello there!

Just heard that Super Snake HD is up on the AppStore.

Enjoy some harmless garden-reggae and exquisite snake omming noises 😀

Snake music!

So recently I was working on some background music for an iPhone game based around the good ol’ Nokia Snake game.

It’s just a little non-offensive background music we did, but I thought I’d pop it up here for fun…

Acid Rain!

Hello!  Lately I’ve been doing some audio design for a project my friends at Bal Rokko games are working on.

It’s a cute iPhone action puzzler called ‘Acid Rain’

Some lovely, trippy synthy work for the levels, and a little acoustic guitar by my good pal Ross Nicoll on the title screen.

Been lucky with the rainy weather lately too, which has meant I’ve been able to record some white-hot weather foley!

The game is near completion and playing nicely so it should be submitted to the AppStore very soon.

For a cheeky preview, here’s the background music for the ‘normal mode’ I’ve just finished…

Enjoy!

Zombiez 8 My Cookiez

So, I’ve been doing some more music for games in my spare time…

A chum of mine, Fritz from Triple B Games, should be releasing his XBox 360 Indiegame ‘Zombiez 8 My Cookiez’ soon!  Here’s a pre-release trailer

It’s a manic arena shooter / biscuit defence game.  I made three tunes for it and some sound effects.

It’s really good and well worth a download, Triple B Games have quite a pedigree in making successful and polished xbox indie games, and their latest offering is as polished and playable as you’d expect from such a fantastic developer.  Snap it up as soon as it’s out!

Crackdown 2 DLC 2 released: Deluge Pack

The final peice of Crackdown 2 DLC which I have been working on over the last few months was released a few weeks ago.  It’s taken me a while to put it up on the ol’ portfolio page as I’ve been awfully busy!

Here’s a teaser trailer 

It’s great, and at 560 MSP you’ll get a lot of mayhem for your magic space bucks.

Crackdown 2 DLC1 on Marketplace NOW! (Toy Box Pack)

Right!  I’ve just heard that the first of the DLC packs for Crackdown 2 is now up on XBox Marketplace!

Say hello to the Toy Box pack, friends.

The above trailer was made by a lovely chap called Dustin.  If you look closely, that’s me flying the Squad Chopper!
