You play this game from the very terrifying perspective of a farm goat. Among cartoon-like guise of a scenic pasture, you are ruthlessly and relentlessly hunted by the farmer. Run for you life! ...The F.U.B.A.R. thing is that this IS REALITY for countless Earthlings. The advocate in me says, "Play this game and then reconsider you daily meal choices."

Here is the full cue. It may look and sound serene, but deep within your being you know there is only impending doom. Sorry to end on such a somber note.

Place different seeds in different areas of the zen garden and see what grows. Each type of seed has a small sound that can grow into several different full musical themes depending on where you place it within the garden. Endless possibles to create your own beautiful garden and soundscape.

Here is a full cue I made to show off the a potential final result (...with some artistic liberties...I am the composer so I can do what I want...Buahahahah!).

Welcome to week 46 of 2016! I just had the pleasure of attending Gamer's Rhapsody 3. While there, I participated in the 2016 Midwest Game Jam. For those of you who don't know, a game jam is where you get a bunch of developers, artists, musicians, writers, and more together to create a video game within a certain time limit. These people may or may not know each other. They are always super fun and a great networking opportunity. This jam went from 10am on Sat - 10 am Sun (this morning). The theme was "Winter Wonderland."

There were A TON of musicians at this one, and not a lot of developers, so I decided to take a crack at making a game myself. My minimum viable product was a 3D landscape that could be explored and would have different music based on where you went. I can't believe I made this start to finish in less than 24 hours. 

I took the name for my game from a piece of music I wrote a few weeks back. Winter Still is a sonically interactive, snowy mountain exploration experience. I created all the music in Pro Tools using mostly EastWest Samples. A lot of the 3D assets are from the free-to-use Infinity Blade set. I created the landscape/map/texture, placed and scaled the assets, and programmed the music transitions accordingly using Unreal 4. 

The game can be downloaded for free here (Windows 64-bit):
