happy new year, everyone.

more to come shortly, been pre-occupied..

I turned 21 a bit ago on December 27th, which was neat.

hope the new year has been treating you all well so far!

whats the deal

it's a busy world

hey gang, it's me once again :v

i recently put out a large batch of cinematic music track commissions for a friend!

him and a couple others created a minecraft roleplay server dubbed "Devil's Backbone" and the music can be enabled to play in the background as accompaniment on an area-to-area basis as you explore and interact with friends and others. it's a cool concept on paper and was even cooler to finally experience in-game.

i also put out my robot day song, Control Panel :

its themed around one of my characters--

a bubbly AI of questionable quality by the formal name of,

Computing Automaton of Superior Support and Intelligence

(Overall, a Protector with Excellently Instrumented Artillery)

...more commonly referred to as just CASSIOPEIA, for the sake of convenience.

if you've been following me for a bit then you probably recognize her!

anything else ?

a while ago i expressed an interest in gamedevvin and was fiddling about with rpgmaker, but realized that i was pretty limited without jumping through a billion hoops, so i started messing with gamemaker studio. might make something with the rpgmaker engine eventually, but my priorities are on making something fun with a story rather than making a story that happens to also be fun. rpgmaker is more well tailored to the latter than the former, of course ...

no clue if anything will actually come out of it but i do have some (extremely undercooked) ideas at the very least

do make sure your expectations aren't too high, but i advise that you keep your eyes to the skies

"The signal is shot. It's gonna be a while before we can get it up to par again. Do you copy?"

on a tangentially unrelated note, you might notice that im doing a lot more drawings and big compositions again

been trying to challenge myself some more at the cost of a screwed up wrist >.>

remember to always take breaks while drawing, gahaha

it's been a little while since i did one of these, huh?

music update

royalty free jamboree

a few of my songs are now available to use in safe for work non-commercial web games and animations here on newgrounds!

"safe for work" here refers to things in the E, T, and even M ratings. no A rated stuff for now.

if you use one, i only ask that you please credit me in one form or another.

as long as "conundrym" is mentioned or you link back here somehow, you're all good.

please do not take credit for any music i have created in any shape or form. that's no good.

you also don't have to add me to a project unless i am making a track specifically for that project!

credit in either name or linking back to my profile is preferred more often than not. :D

have fun!

( if this venture fares well, more of my tracks will likely get this treatment in the future ... )

content update

look out!

lately, i've been working on a lot of personal worldbuilding and writing for an idea i have been sitting on for a while. i know for certain that it will not see the light of day anytime soon, though i would like to explore a glimpse into this universe in one way or another once i get the chance.

i have been occasionally discussing it (and related ideas) in passing on my twitter profile. i mainly use twitter as a less serious avenue to ramble and post whatever really comes to mind. one of these days i'm gonna double down and actually make a website of my own for writing lengthy articles and potentially even silly little comics, but for now newgrounds is my best bet for that sort of stuff. i'm not complaining, i quite enjoy writing longform textposts here and should probably do it more often.

i'm also going to take a moment here to remind my ng fans that some the media i post on here (and in relation, my twitter) may potentially contain crude and/or suggestive content at times. i will always make an effort to rate content accordingly-- so please keep your wits about you and exercise caution if you don't like that sort of stuff or are unsuited to be viewing it in the first place.

i'm gonna make an effort to draw more since i have been greatly enjoying illustrating and composing things to accompany my artwork, so that should be fun. other than that i am going to continue to work on stabilizing my personal situation, hopefully figuring things out. thanks for reading.

apologies for no "big" news at the moment, i'll probably have more info of that nature whenever i hit 1k.

SHOOT TRIP DIE IS OUT!

Shoot Trip Die was released in-full today! If you like raunchy humor and roguelikes, give it a try.

You can play a beefy demo consisting of the first three worlds over here.

The full game is on sale right now for eight bucks over on Steam.

OK NOW FOR THE RAMBLING

This game is one of the first retail projects I was ever given the oppurtunity to be a part of- working on some music here and there. The devoted efforts of several people made this thing real, and I am super grateful to have been along for the ride. Levi and a bunch of other faces you may or may not be familiar with put their all into this, and created what I think to be a really stylish and charming experience. It sounds lame, but it makes me really happy to see this game realized.

Even though it might not be as personally relevant to your life as it is to me or the others who contributed to it, I still hope that you enjoy it to some degree.

MUSIC NEWS STUFF

I plan to update the current NG uploads of my music contributions to be more in-line with their in game counterparts, as well as upload the remaining track that isn't currently up as of this writing. Eventually, I would like to put the soundtrack up on Youtube and/or Bandcamp. Potentially somewhere else? Dunno yet, really. I've never been too good at posting organized music. Guess we'll see where it goes from here.

thanks 4 readin
