Just one track, to see how it went.<br \/>\n<!--more--><br \/>\nIt was a great track, but the project fell through and I decided not to finish up the music. A year later or so, I came across this piece, and realized&#8230;you know, this is pretty much the theme for Vertigo Games as a company. It was composed by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.jonathangeer.com\">Jonathan Geer<\/a>.<br \/>\n<!--break--><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.vertigogaming.net\/blog\/musics\/vertigotheme.mp3\">http:\/\/www.vertigogaming.net\/blog\/musics\/vertigotheme.mp3<\/a><br \/>\n<!--break--><br \/>\nI dunno, I think it fits VG quite well, don&#8217;t you? It will be available to play in the Puzzle section of Spirits of Metropolis, and a small portion has been cut to play over our logo for all of our future games. Woo! (fun fact: I told him to go with the March of the Penguins like-style, and boy did he pull through big time!)<br \/>\n<!--break--><br \/>\nFor my next two games I&#8217;m tapping into some commercial licensing for music, but if Spirits and UNANNOUNCED BLOCKBUSTER 2009 GAME OF AWESOME is successful, I&#8217;d love to get some original music composed. It&#8217;s not cheap, and I&#8217;m a bit broke, so&#8230;commercial licensing it is! (and there&#8217;s quite a few good songs out there).<br \/>\n<!--break--><br \/>\nAnyways, I&#8217;m happy to say that I&#8217;ve gotten the horrible technical glitch I ran into last month (delaying Spirits of Metropolis) and the game is finished. More good news: I&#8217;ve found out from some publishers that I&#8217;m OK to go as far as posting the game for sale on the VG website&#8230;the only publisher I&#8217;m not sure about in that regard is Steam. My goal: get the game out on my site within the next two weeks, and go live on publishers next month. If I can&#8217;t get any publishers, then that&#8217;s ok too.<br \/>\n<!--break--><br \/>\nI&#8217;ll be back later this week to wrap up the final specs on Spirits of Metropolis. It&#8217;s stuff not even the beta testers know about, muhahah. (Oh, and beta testers: get ready for the final version of the game this Tuesday to hit the forums).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So, a long time ago when working on a now canceled game before my move to pay for the ship a car cost for my truck, and I paid for some music to be composed.
