Taking a break

It’s been a really hectic month and it doesn’t seem like it’s going to let up. Many weeks of travel, driving all around the state, are coming up. I also have to worry about a possible move and a minor hand injury. Yikes.  So I haven’t been doing much regarding Aliens Over Hawaii.

However, I did write music for 3 of the stages but I’ve had to rewrite them a few times. There’s an 8-bar theme, the ‘hero’ theme, which I’m building the music around.  But when I heard the three songs back-to-back, that theme got to be repetitive and annoying. So I’m dialing it back and using that theme sparingly in each song instead of repeating twice or thrice.

If I start putting too much effort into these games, it starts to feel like work and I already have a job so I’m trying to get too involved so that it’s still fun.  I don’t know when I’ll be finished with updating the game or Paint Factory but we’ll see.
