nova sonata

Long before I had even considered making a game, I always wanted to capture an idea: A space battle where all the sound effects came together to create a song. My skills are slowly but surely catching up with my ambition, I have begun building that very idea into a game.

Web demo

Since I’m building this game completely solo, I’ve kept things chugging along by splitting the work up into bitesized chunks.

My first goal: Build a short, free demo players can try out right in their browser. Check! Done. All music, art, and assets lovingly massaged into existence by me, no AI.

Building the demo was a huge learning experience and required me to use just about every creative skill I had, and learn about a hundred more. I’m very proud of how it all turned out, and I’m excited to take all the lessons learned and put them towards the next chunk I’m about to bite off.

To help promote the game, I cut together a short collection of clips to show off the vibe of the game. Feel free to give it a watch, or just play the real thing!

My humble game was showcased on Warpdoor as well as named Free Game of the Week by the Post Games newsletter, run by co-founder of Polygon.com Chris Plante.

In an attempt to make my day even further and inject a little life back into my withered old heart, Chris even said on Blue Sky that he thinks it’s a cool game and he adores the art style. So what more can one even say. The press has spoken.

Drop some feedback!

Hey, if you’re here and you’ve made it this far, I’d love to get your impressions on the game. Any engagement and input truly keeps me going, will truly shape the future of the game, and best of all prevents the feeling that I’m shouting into the cosmic void of the internet.

Take a quick survey or contact me, it always means a lot.
