New trailer for Crawl!

I’ve been working on some music for the upcoming multiplayer game Crawl, from the guys at Powerhoof.  They just released a new trailer with all kinds of glitchy-retro-gothic goodness (is that even a thing?  I hope it’s a thing…).  It has been really fun mixing old-school arcade sounds with orchestral instruments and glitch effects.  You can hear some of it in their new trailer, and vote for them on Steam Greenlight if you’re so inclined.  Info in the video description.

UPDATE: Wow – I’ve just seen that Kotaku.com has said of this trailer, “2014′s Best Trailer Is Already Here”!

Pulsar: Lost Colony music

I’m one of two composers writing for an upcoming indie video game – Pulsar: Lost Colony. They’ve already received quite a bit of support for their Kickstarter campaign, obtaining full funding after just one week.  Recently, they reached their first stretch goal which means they’ll be developing an extended soundtrack with lots more music!  If any of this sounds interesting – have a look at the trailer below:

My Ludum Dare entry

I recently participated in a “game jam” – a competition where lots of people try to create a video game in a short period of time. The Ludum Dare Compo allows participants 48 hours to create a game from scratch (including all code, graphics, music, etc.) by themselves.  I managed to create a little game called “Doom Hex: Escape”, and you can play it here: alexyoder.net/ludumdare27.  It’s not entirely finished, and it can be pretty difficult, but it’s hopefully a little fun!
