Hi Newgrounders,
Here is a monthly update. But first: have you played Chrono Trigger lately? It has aged well. Playing through it again this past week, it struck me how rich an experience its developers created. This second time through I noticed more of the lovingly crafted details I missed the first time around. This game works hard to earn its reputation. The SNES must have worked damn hard just to support running the thing.
I just had to get that out of my system. Thank you for indulging me.
Here are some of the things I've been doing:
**Blogging. I made three new blog posts: the first two are short complaints about musical language and the third is simply a re-posting of the public conversation I had with The-Great-One a few weeks ago.
**Composing. There are four new audio submissions. 1. Boss Battle Against God and 2. Unnerved are from a collection of OGG files I recently posted to my website; 3. Score! is an unused cue which I'm happy to notice has found a place in MistyEntertainment's latest "Adrellia Village" installment; 4. and Breaking Out is music for a freeware BreakOut game (also posted on my site).
**Playlists. For fun, I've started making a few.
Sincerely,
Ben

Wha... I never commented here yet?! Thanks for watching the party dude! Really hope next year you can make it! I'll be posting a link to a zipped file (in the Pico Day thread) that has a bunch of behind the scenes pictures of the event. How was your concert/recital thing this past weekend?

Hey! Sorry I missed it. Maybe next year. The recitals went well--thanks for asking. If the recordings are decent, I'll upload and link to them in a news post at some point.
