This past weekend I participated in an event called the Global Game Jam, a 48-hour marathon during which small teams must create a playable videogame—from scratch. Our entry, entitled Quest for Stick, is a platformer/puzzle game in which you must use mystical powers to guide a Shaman through the level to recover his rain-stick. It is available to download on the Game Jam website, and there is also a gameplay video up on YouTube, so I hope you will check it out!

My contribution to the project was entirely in audio this time around. I had never done composition or sound design before, but it was a great opportunity to learn in a trial-by-fire setting. I will be posting the music on my blog soon, and will make a note here when it is available.

If you don’t have a work with a long, pretentious title, “Untitled” or “Check this out!!” are always valid. If you want the technical problem, our current theme does not display any direct link to individual posts other than the title field, so without a title people can’t easily link to your individual post.

Thanks,
