Performa Cars (ex. Computer Touring Car Championship)

-


It was after I broke my collar bone in a motocross accident in 2002 that I decided to create a 2D top-down racing game. I named the project Computer Touring Car Championship (CTCC) and for nearly 10 years it has been in the development pipe. In recent years the game also got it's proper name, "Performa Cars."

You would maybe expect a masterpiece after 10 years, but the sad fact is that the past 8 years or so very little development time has been put into this particular game because a release has been hindered by development problems related to online network multiplayer gaming. The original design of Performa Cars simply doesn't allow it and rather than the game remaining unreleased I have finally made a big decision.

I am now putting the finishing touches on releasing Performa Cars as a FREEWARE. It'll will also be classified as an "Alpha" release since it may still contain some bugs and multiplayer is only possible through the split screen functionality local on the same computer.

I don't have much time at the moment to provide you with any details - but I should be able to announce the official release shortly. Apologies to those of you who have waited for nearly 10 years =)

Leaving The Outpost (Game Music)

-
It's tough to find time to make music these days, especially now that both my children are ill with eye infections and flu. Still, I managed to find a spare moment in the evening to compose this space inspired song. I decided to call the song "Leaving The Outpost" and I imagine a peaceful and relaxing space scene, maybe in an adventure, RTS, or MMORPG. The song features two sections. First a mellow melodic section with soft synth leads playing a beautiful melody and layers of filtered pads. The second part is more of an ambient soundscape with sweeping pads and scifi sounds. http://soundtrack.imphenzia.com/non-exclusive-music/leaving-the-outpost/ The track is available as a full length track (with a start and a finish) and a perfectly seamless loop. License it for your indie space game today =)

C64 remixing

-
Last night I spent a few hours starting to remix a classic old C64 SID-track to be released on remix.kwed.org which has turned out to be a good site for both constructive feedback and acting as a channel to promote Imphenzia as my last remix released there (The Fallen) has had around 3500 plays since February 2008. The remix I am working on now was originally driving me around the bend because the original has got an offbeat rhythm to it that I was determined to recreate before I add my remix twist to it, but I finally got it down... However... The sequencer doesn't quite line up the measures accordingly so it is difficult to arrange the track. Well see where it leads.
