My brother and I have been working on a computer game for almost a year now called Distant Empires. It’s an online multiplayer space conquest game that only works for Linux right now but we plan to make it work for Macintosh and Windows.
I created a website for Distant Empires, its similar to the design of brycecoulson.com. You cannot download the game yet, but there are a couple screenshots at http://distantempires.com. I may put up a video to show off the game play later.
I finally finished a tutorial on how to add autotune to vocals using completely free software (LMMS, GSnap and AAS autotune). I tried to make GSnap and AAS autotune sound as much like T-Pain as I could. I’m mostly happy with how my vocals turned out but I think Commercial autotune likely works/sounds better.
This tutorial uses html5 audio tags instead of flash. When I have time, I plan to convert most or all flash on my website to html5.
I added sound samples to show off the free VST instruments/effects listed on the LMMS tutorial on where to get VST instruments/effects and how to add them page. I used the html5 audio tags instead of Flash. I like these tags because they use less code then the xspf jukebox flash audio player I’ve been using. I may use audio tags for the rest of my site but I haven’t decided yet as html5 isn’t supported by many browsers yet (I believe Firefox 3.5+ and later versions of safari work with them). I think I can get away with it because most of my website visitors use Firefox. Users that don’t see the audio player will be able to download audio as ogg, (maybe mp3 if people want me to).
I add a new short song to the Music page, I named it “Constant Flux“. The special thing about this song is that I only used free software to make it (LMMS). Also, all of the instruments and effects used came with LMMS. Its an instrumental song, bouncy and slightly repetitive. Enjoy! Oh and if you happen to use LMMS, check out the project file.
I finally got around to adding songs to my SoundClick musician account. I uploaded Perfect Mechanism and Final Fury from my album “Turning Point”. I haven’t received many album sales, I’m hoping to receive more website visitors by getting more involved with sites similar to SoundClick.
I also created a Facebook musician page. I decided not to add any songs to it as I didn’t like Facebooks License Agreement when it came to uploading music.
