Retrush
trailers and video editing
one arrangement music track produced
quality assurance
Arrangement We Made:
This retro speedrunning map pack by Skysometric for the Super Mario and Portal hybrid Mari0: AE is basically a fangame within a fangame, built with the tools of various versions of Mari0 in off-and-on development for nine years before finally being completed.During the final push, we produced a miniature presentation, a launch trailer, and the foundation of a series of individual level overviews called "Postcards from Retrush". We also contributed one music arrangement (of a song from OutRun).

Promo Video Reel:
King for Another Day Tournament was a 2019 multimedia event primarily hosted on the YouTube channel SiIvaGunner, a sequel to 2018's King for a Day Tournament.It was primarily made up of three components:• a community participation event focused around an elimination-style popularity competition featuring various figures from video games and popular culture, aesthetically themed around the concept of crossover fighting video games (i.e. Super Smash Bros.)• an original soundtrack of rearranges and remixes of related source material — a real soundtrack to a fictional crossover fighting game• a year-long promotional campaign with character reveals, streamed video presentations, in-universe lore, and moreIt was an extremely complex affair involving innumerable moving pieces, coordination of hundreds of hobbyist creatives, tons of effort, numerous complications, creative disagreements, and even the tragic loss of one of our team members. We began spearheading the promotional efforts almost immediately after the project announcement, then pivoted into a lead role when the original lead director fled the project. Successfully landing the ship while keeping the team held together and seeing nearly every ounce of the team's collective creative vision realized is our proudest creative achievement.

SiIvaGunner: King for a Day Tournament
developer of the credits minigame
one arrangement music track produced
announcer voiceover
Arrangement We Made:
We also contributed to the smaller 2018 prequel to the 2019 event. Our main contribution was a shooting gallery credits minigame, once again inspired by the Super Smash Bros. series, made in Unity. We're very proud of the polish on this game, especially for being made in a very short period of time!We also contributed one music arrangement (of a song from Splatoon 2) and provided the bulk of the announcer voiceover work.
Credits Minigame:
2010-2017
Sonic Time Twisted
music director and lead composer
level concept contributions
Soundtrack Playlist:
This Sonic the Hedgehog fangame by Overbound Game Studio attempts to strike a balance between the styles of Sonic CD and Sonic 3 & Knuckles. Started from scratch 4 total times during its incredible 12 years of on-and-off production, the soundtrack "Dueling Ages" represents 8 years of our musical growth as a composer, arranger, and producer, from amateur to journeyman (and also happens to feature an incredible two-song contribution from the wonderful Andy Tunstall).

uhhhhhhhmmmmmm… when we were really little, inspired by the characters from Dav Pilkey's Captain Underpants books, we drew our own handmade, hand-stapled comics that were mostly about Pokémon and Digimon and even our own knockoff we called "Mega Monsters"
we were born, at some point before that…
