My good friend Divinci—who also happens to be my neighbor, and the official Funface Games beta-tester—kicked off the Plug Awards in NYC recently. The people over at the Dell Lounge just released an awesome 7 HD cam shoot of him performing the Star Spangled Banner on 3 MPC's! It's really an amazing feat to play 3 of these things live... most people simply program a beat into it then walk away, but he tears them up Hendrix style in this video!
I would embed the video on my blog, but it's only available through the proprietary player on the Plug Awards site. To view it, follow the link below, click on "
see all" then look for the clip with "
Divinci" next to it.

Kicked off 2008 with a new game!
Super Saimon Deluxe is the first of several titles planned for release during early 2008!
I wanted to build on the original Simon idea while adding new features to make it more fun in a browser. I decided to go with a relaxing atmosphere, but also allow for fast-paced gameplay to keep things competitive. To accomplish this, I added a response-time meter that tracks how fast you can switch from note to note. Seeing your reponse-time increase, pushes you to go faster, but the ever growing sequence of notes demands your focused attention.
Controlled Frenzy Is how I would best describe it!
If things get too hectic, you can always try composing little 4-note arrow key sonatas during the opening menu (no pressure!)
- Thanks to Dan McNeely from Armor Games For sponsoring Saimon!
- Also to Divinci from Solillaquists of Sound for beta testing, gameplay ideas and sound advice!
- And to everyone who shared ideas and support!
