Hi all! I've not been very active on the list for a few weeks, been
knuckling down with work, on the road to launching my kickstarter
campaign :D

I realised that I hadn't posted about the last set of examples yet.
It's deep house, using the same random instrument generators that I
posted an example of a while back. I've put some extra work into the
mixing / mastering side of things this time round, so I think the
tracks are starting to sound more professional:

Let me know what you think! :D

Pete

I'm working on the video and stuff now, and I'm hoping I'll be ready
to go by monday. Though, I have watched some videos on youtube about
how to make decent kickstarter video that have highlighted some extra
areas I should probably work on prior to the kickstarter, so might
need to add an extra week onto that.

Yeah, you're right! Haha, infact that occured to me while watching
some of these tutorial videos, they said to account for the cost of
the kickstarter video in the money you ask for from the campaign, lol.
There are also some more amateur style videos that have done well
though, like the one for limit theory:

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/joshparnell/limit-theory-an-infinite-procedural-space-game/description

That's a one man operation whos making a randomly generated space sim,
procedurally generating every single element of the content (ships,
weapons, planets, nebula backdrops, dust clouds, asteroids, tech
research... the lot!). It's impressive, even from the perspective of
someone who doesn't play computer games any more. I consider his
project the computer game equivalent of what I'm doing :D

Hmmm, I'm not sure actually. Maybe it depends what the money's for?
Almost all the money I need will be to support me and my family while
I finish the project, so I reckon I'll be getting taxed on that as
it's my wages, beyond that I'm not sure. I should really find that out
;) You do loose a percentage to kickstarter and amazon though. Amazon
is for some paypal like payment system. I only found out about the
amazon payment bit recently, which I'm not overly happy about. I've
avoided using amazon for anything for several years, and now they're
gonna get a slice of my pie ;)
