Zen Bound 2 & Rebound
Yay! Yaya!
Zen Bound 2 Universal is out now for all the iDevices, get it while it’s stinking hot! To commemorate this momentous release, we also released my soundtracks for both the ZB games.
So: to download Bound & Rebound, go to the Zen Bound website and enter your email on our non-spammy spam list. You get Instant Winz in form of the soundtrack download link. And we get to send you funnies once or twice a year.
About that ZB2 Universal. Man, it’s a good game, I think, the best we’ve made so far. You really should own it. Yeah, you. Did you know we have also been doing a desktop version? No? Well that’s it up there, the video, me playing on my MBP, I have to tell you, the touchpad controls are almost as sweet as on iPad. Syrupy.
No, don’t talk to me about Android, why did you buy that?
Oh you didn’t really believe all that bullshit about open source, did you?
You thought you’d get porn, ha? Well, someone has to code those tits, you know, and no-one is doing that shit for free! :D Okay, okay, maybe we’ll do androids, too, for you. In the future, when it’s not frowned upon, sex with robots. For now, download my music and buy some wooden objects.
の話題作, oh yeah!

Every morning my eyes hurt a bit more. Of course coffee, the universal remedy, will stabilize me some but it’s getting slightly annoying anyhow. I can usually go with very little sleep or rest, now I kind of miss free time and my six hours of sleep. Next month, I suppose.
We’re finishing Zen Bound 2 for Apple’s magical new device, meaning I am working on skinning all the nice trees, creating backgrounds, textures (luckily done now) and all kinds of UI stuff. During the days, that is, and some of the evenings. Nights are for making some more music for the same, though I did get to play Bad Company 2 for two nights this weekend. And go out once. Not bad for a month or so. The game will be good, better, actually.
I want a maxiPad, let’s hope they’ll be out here sometime, or that someone goes to visit the land of the brave and catches one of those magical (currently also mythical) beasts for me once they come out. Two, actually, if it really is the interwebsor and multi-touch midi-over-wifi controller Stevesy would no doubt like it to be.
I understand why everyone and their dog (Oppensauce) is bitching about Apple’s content control and the lack of Flash but personally I don’t really care. I haven’t seen a single good porn app, ever, and every useful bit of gadgetry I’d care about seems to be no problem with the folks at Uncle Steve’s Factory, bar from the obviously business-breaking ones and …
… oh yeah, Flash. I’ll miss so many banners! And artsy, slow-to-load websites. Damn. Snap. Seriously, the device is going to have good games and makers of good Flash games seem to end up converting their game onto the device (here’s a kicker, they can finally sell single-player Flash games, something people have tried for eons, mostly unsuccesfully) and I have two macs to play Robot Unicorn Attack on already if the URGE strikes me. When work slows down, I promise to play it. And Nitrome stuff.
Would be wrong not to.
Erasure’s Always will follow me to my grave.
The other half of my job, additional music for ZB2, it’s a bit different; I didn’t just want to do more of the same, Zen Bound Template stuff (hah, I’ve heard people try that), the way I figured it is, people who only want to listen to Bound can use iTunes to do just that. Meanwhile, I’ll do it the hard way, see if i can make something different that actually complements the original songs.
I didn’t expect ending up with anything this fluffy though, I always thought I’d make °2 more minimalistic, this is shaping out to be more about simple melodies, drones and chromatic percussion. At times it almost feels like some odd sacral childrens music. ;D
Let’s hope you end up liking it.
luv,
tuukka / polyfonken / ghost monkey / all that
