I’ve been playing the hell out of this game since yesterday. Perfect game to be off the phone, have a quick break, make some progress, have fun and feel nostalgic. Thanks to my Cuzzo for mentioning Tony Hawk yesterday 😅 P.S. don’t blow in your carts!!

Happy #BlackHistoryMonth (U.K.) ! Last year I was celebrated on Oct. 4th and the feeling was historical and monumental.

What will also be historical is winning the #grammy this year for Best Original Music in the #gamemusic category. ⬇️

I'm still raising funds to get this #videogamesoundtrack out to a huge majority of Grammy voters for consideration in #billboard magazine.

It's just me. No label. No team. ⬇️

For Your #GRAMMYs consideration

In #AgroundZero I expanded the #dynamicmusic #design to follow a theme of Subways. This was intentional to follow the exposition of the game but be subconscious for the player. ⬇️

This is not a common thing to do but I was complimented by the editor that it was "a great track as well with a nice array of different intensities, which I think works well in trailers!" Here is the end result.

For your #GRAMMYs consideration. When the #AGROUNDZERO trailer was being made, the editor was able to use the music I created for a specific in-game level to edit to.

✨New Interview Feature!✨

The host Poseidon was the first to notice my U.K. Black History Month Composers Calendar and was curious enough to ask about it.

I share the significance of being celebrated on this calendar, (Oct. 4th) and the etymology of being recognized.

In this video, (from my Game Devs of Color Expo) talk, I share why combat in #AgroundZero is imperative. #ColonySim #games with a story have climaxes and in this one, urgency is part of the exposition. It's not there because it's wanted but because it is needed as an additional game-play loop.
