Needless to say, I'm useless at keeping blogs/news up to date.

A lot has happened in 10 years- I qualified as an electrician, then moved on to become a GPS Engineer and travelled the world playing with atomic clocks, satellite signals and other secret things. Started a small business (Ruffitt Design), took up photography and illustration. Dated various vegans. Travelled with work some more and became very burnt out. Took up rock climbing and bouldering. Tried (and failed) to buy a house in the UK market several times. Dealt with shitty management during the Covid-19 Pandemic, burn-out gets worse. I decided to throw in the towel, quit my job, and now I'm heading to the University of the West of England (UWE Bristol) in September to study something I've always wanted to do- Architecture and Environmental Engineering.

In preparation for Uni, I've started to learn Blender and Unity... and now I'm producing games as a well to polish my skills in those programs, as well as a way to hopefully make some money whilst I'm studying.

I've been making games and learning C# for 2 weeks now, and the last 7 days of which I've taken part in a 7-day game jam (my first Jam with my first ever game SATELLITE HUNTER ).

Although I've done my best to create everything from scratch during the 7 days, I had to return to NewGrounds to pick up some old music I had made years ago...

Wish me luck, see you in another 10 years!

Well, so much for uploading more tracks and starting a webcomic, huh?

I could make it an additional (albeit late) New Year's Resolution to be more creative, right?
Anyway, I can kick start the new year with my first track in a long time, a chiptune rendition of Foo Fighter's "Rope":
Chiptune: Rope by Foo Fighters

Oh, and I release that after not logging in for several months I've missed out on a half-dozen or so oppurtunities to share my work- I've been sent messages from people asking permission to use my tracks in their projects, and in my absence have gone ahead and found other tracks to use as I wasn't around to give my green light- If you're reading this guys, The Creative Commons licence is there for a reason! Use my tracks by all means! Just let me know you have, I'd never say "No" to a project! :D

Happy Late 2012 boys and girls :)

OK, I've got this track, it's just under two and a half mins long, has lead guitar, rhythm guitar, bass, and some chorus effects... just needs drums and mastering/editing now.

Yes, I sound like an idiot, but I never usually spend this much time on a musical idea. I'm trying to be a bit more serious this time. I just have one problem, I usually end up sucking at creating the drum sections of a track, scrapping my drums and using some pre-made loops.

Just going to really try and make something worthwhile this time...

And when it's done, I hope it gets featured somewhere. If not. Well, F you interwebs :)

Might.

If there was an actual cure for it by now, we would all have known about it, because someone would have sold out.

But at the moment, that doesnt matter to me. I have a Cold- Sore throat, runny/blocked nose, sneezing, the works. I wondered if there were any over-looked home remedies online, and surprisingly...

I actually found one :D

I really DO feel better already :)

I'm amazed... over the last couple of months several people have been asking to use my music tracks in their original content...

We have a couple of games, an independant short film... and thats about it at the moment, but that's the most my work has ever featured in, and all at once.

Feels Good Man :)

I swear to God, If I allow myself to punch any more trees, I'm going to go and hug the first creeper I come across, because this game is just too goddamn addictive :P

Merry Christmas Newgrounds. I Lesbians You

There's not really much else to say, but I think KEVIN BACON may have something to do with it.

KEVIN BACON loves KEVIN BACON

Boo. :)
