Rescue: The Beagles

Here’s a brief excerpt written by the developer about the story of the game: “A cargo airplane crashed somewhere above the wast areas of the Amita range. It was carrying a large shipment of beagles headed to the CutLab, a huge animal testing facility.

The Lab is upset about losing it’s precious testing material and is deploying a biohazard division determined to reclaim it’s property. They operate under the strict orders: seize the usable specimens, kill the rest.

We’re sending three of our elite animal rights activists to rescue as many dogs as possible before the Lab’s grunts confine them back to the life of endless misery.”

The game is currently in beta but check it out and let us know what you think!

And someone get me a copy, please! To quote my favorite part:

“…vibrant backgrounds are merged with an atmospheric retro synth soundtrack by the talented Phlogiston (composer of 8bitpeople’s classic “CyberAxe Café”).”

Also; if you downloaded the new IQTU release before May 19th, then you might want to re-download for an updated mix.

I’d like to share some of the responses I’ve read with you guys, although I’m not sure you will all share my enthusiasm.

mad_about_crews @ Rotten Tomatoes gives NEUTRALITE a 9/10

NebLJ @ LiveJournal Responds to Level

And some great comments from my CD page.

Also, for those who are interested in what is in the works, I’ve started taking strides down the career path, pursuing a degree in Music Synthesis, and hoping to get my foot into the door of the videogame industry composing and producing original music for titles of all sizes. I will soon have a professional portfolio up at RichVreeland.com for all to view. I’m also working on new material; there are a number of tracks floating around loosely and on compilations (Death Satellite Evasion, Jump Error, Sober Colony, etc) that will all be tweaked and compiled into one album entitled “Rise of the Obsidian Interstellar”. I plan to get it out by the end of this year. For those who wonder what the nature of the album will be, it will revolve around a space civilization. The rest you’ll have to decipher on your own when the album comes out. :)

Once again thanks for all your support and happy listening!

Ecstatic yet laced with irony, Embarrassing Triangle is a lush album that sparkles, twists, and grooves. Thick layers of synths converge over the pliable chords and melodies, while puttering drums and thick bass hold down the constantly evolving grooves. These songs are more developed than iqtu’s previous work, and the album resonates with the flavor of triumph and experimentation.

Early composers of the madrigal used only two to three voices to create counterpoint. Realizing the opportunity for reinterpretation through the gameboy sound chip, Joey Mariano set out to create a body of chiptune madrigals inspired by early RPG games, Japanese folk melodies, and masters of the madrigal such as Francesco Landini. A definite departure from his traditional approaches, Animal Style’s Gameboy Madrigals release strives to create a mood relying on melody and counterpoint instead of an ever-present, never-ending, bleed-your-ears-dry dance beat.
