My Flash video game, Phantom of Power, has a completely new soundtrack! 17 new 8-bit, chiptune compositions! Click here to play! Phantom of Power is a video game that I created so that my MUS-110 Intro to Music Software students could compose 8-bit music for it.

Tank War was a grad school project that involved creating a soundtrack and sound effects for a simple Flash game. To try to create a vintage lo-fi sound, I used YMCK’s Magical 8-bit Plug and ran a few voice samples through a bitcrusher plugin.
Multitrack Buttons was my first attempt at creating an interactive Flash app from scratch. It was modelled after a game on the Boohbah website (a tv show for pre-schoolers).
Multitrack Faders was a reimplementation of the previous multitrack app. This time allowing the user to set individual volume levels rather than simply turning tracks on and off.
Phantom of Power was a Flash game that I created so that my MUS-110 Intro to Music Software students could create 8-bit music for it. I was able to include everyone’s music by assigning 2 to 4 songs per level. When the game goes to play the music for a level, it randomly selects one of those 2 to 4 songs. It takes about 2 minutes to load (audio files for ~40 different songs take up a lot of space).
I have two other simple Flash projects shown here. The first is a Flash audio player with play, pause, and stop controls. The second is a looped Flash animation.

Phantom of Power is a Flash game that I created so that my MUS110 Intro to Music Software students could create 8-bit chiptune music for it. I was able to include lots of music by assigning 2 or 3 songs per level. When the game goes to play the music for a level, it randomly selects one of those 2 or 3 songs. It takes about 2 minutes to load (audio files for ~30 different songs take up a lot of space). Click here to play!
