8bit Chiptune Overload

Written for team "The Disaster Muffins"'s entry into the 2013 Indie Speed Run.

Kingly Speed Run 2013 is a game I created in 48 hours with Daniel Fairley, Andrea Gerstmann, and Derek Potier for the Indie Speed Run 2013 game jam.

Our team's theme was "retreat", and our element was "a green triangle". We chose to create an infinite runner style game where the main character, the king of the Triangle Verde Kingdom, is retreating from a frightening dragon, and will do anything to slow it down (including throwing lesser peasants in its way).

My role in the team included programming, music, and sound. The game was created in Unity. The music was created in Renoise, while all sound effects (including voices, footsteps, fire breath, etc.) were recorded by me using Audacity. All art/visuals in the game were created by Andrea Gerstmann.

This started as a simple 2 chord sketch on acoustic guitar, recorded back in 2012. I was thinking of using it for the first world of the game, and had called it "Autumn" along those lines. After revisiting it, I thought it might work better for the water world, in which I wanted a chill, laid back vibe. Also, Ian had already done music for the autumn level, and while I think he intended to have me replace all of his work, I was pretty fond of it and inspired by it, so I was more than happy to leave his work in. This production all came together only a few days before the game was released. I spent a good bit of time exploring other ideas for the ocean world, but many did not pan out. I tried mapping notes to the geography of levels, and some pretty weird and interesting phasing ideas, which felt too chaotic. Those tunes actually ended up in the last level of the game.

Happy Chiptune

'Chamber of the Goddess' is a mellow fusion that would not be far removed from a 70's B-side. Featuring music from 'A Link to the Past'.

Chamber of the Goddess

One of my oldest chiptune, a 4 channel mod using nice samples from heatbeat's chiptune.
Sorry for the abrupt ending, this song must be looping :)

The unofficial sequel of the great chiptune "Unreal Superhero" by Radix, and the prequel of the most famous track "Unreeeal Superhero 3" you probably heard in several so-called "keygen" :)

Unreal superhero 2

A modified/extended 32 channels/16bits xm version of my "Positive waves" chiptune!
I started it more than a decade ago but sadly I never succeed to finish it...
I leave the music here, in his current state, perhaps I will find a proper ending one day :)

Positive waves (extended version) (wip)

So i'm a little late with this one.. sorry :P
