So, I got back from GDC last week. Hell of a lot of fun. Already can’t wait till next year!
Since getting back I’ve been crunching on my new game, which I still haven’t settled on a good title for. I’m really excited about the project, but the deadline’s getting closer and closer, which is pretty stressful (it’s supposed to be basically complete by the end of march, ready for playtesting in April). As a result I’ve had to scale down my ambition a bit to come up with a version of this idea that I’ll actually have time to make, but I think the game actually works better for being more compact, particularly for an exhibition setting.
In other news, I finally found a musician for the game! I got a surprising number of emails about the job – it wasn’t easy to choose, but eventually, I decided to work with Stian Stark. He made an amazing demo song which completely nailed the feel of the game and I’m really looking forward to hearing what he comes up with for the rest of it.
Hoping to put together a video or something as soon as I think of a title that fits.
is this 3d/unity or did you already mention that elsewhere?
Yep, 3D and unity!
Honestly Terry I have no idea what this is, but if your past work is any indication it will be spectacular. Anxiously awaiting new information!
And I hope you don’t mind me pimping PPPPPPowerup, but…
Magnus PÁ¥lsson (composed VVVVVV OST) has released a spectacular arranged version of his album on Saturday. Get it now if you haven’t, really beautiful stuff.

Do you want us to spit out some names? I say HexSpace or DotSpace… Maybe if you gave me an early play through I could give a better suggestion 😛
Spitting names is fun. Here’s my tip: Shaar
Someone on twitter suggested “Night Boat”!
You said a while ago that you liked some of my prototype titles? “One Day this will All Make Sense” etc. If you want, I will happily spit some more.

Okay, this is basically just me trying to get an early look at the game 🙂
