I just watched this on the news and was blown away. Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield made a music video for David Bowie’s “Space Oddity”. Just watch…words can’t describe this:

As my brother put it: “At last, this awesome song in its right environment!”.

All I can say is thank you sir Hadfield, my deepest respects to you and your team of scientists behind all the amazing work you do up there. Can’t get any more epic than that as a human.

For the release of the new e-shop I wanted to create new product shots for the Hyperspeed CD, LP and Bundles. Thankfully my little monster was there to help with the photo shoot:

The photo studio is set

Hmmm I have to hop on and check the angles…

Ok the angle is correct.

The upper light is set.

The camera is rolling…

Ok we are ready, take the shot!

So thanks to my fur-ball assistant, the photos turned out fine as you can witness in the shop. Thanks for saving the day again Batman!

Following the general re-design of my website and projects, I present you with the new Dol Theeta logo:

I wanted something dreamier and more fairytale-like for Dol Theeta but retaining a certain edginess at the same time. The upcoming Dol Theeta EP will be the first to sport this new look.

Do you like it? Let me know what you think, cheers.

What exciting times the last months have been. Harry and I completed the release of Flycraft and the little game which started as a one-month contest marathon has become a success and we are determined to evolve it in many more ways in the future. The game is released exclusively for the BlackBerry Playbook (and very soon for the upcoming BB10 phone-revelation that RIM is preparing to unveil). It has been the #1 paid game in the BlackBerry AppWorld and has received more than 300 positive reviews. Check out the game’s trailer we have prepared:

The game triggers your imagination to build any flying machine you can come up with using various building blocks. Your progress is determined by the distance you can cover flying your creation but you can always enjoy seeing our little ladybug hero Herbie crashing like a boss in countless ways imaginable!

Check out some screenshots from the game:

You can use orange soda cans or massive rockets for extra thrust:

You can build a spaceship:

Or any wacky vehicle you can imagine:

You can make fine tune your aeronautic skills:

Or just have fun crashing like a boss:

We believe the game challenges your brain for lots of hours of crafting funny flying machines and we can’t wait to see your own creations. We’ll keep updating the game with cool new stuff, Harry already finished an amazing replay system that let’s you revisit your epic flights or crashes.

All in all if you have a lovely BlackBerry Playbook don’t forget to check out Flycraft! Here are the links you’d need:

I recently uploaded “Hyperspeed” at the music service site Bandcamp. Apart from all the regular shop-options, you can also stream the whole album there. Thank you

The last 2 weeks me and Harry were locked in our caves planning our upcoming new game “Flycraft”. He is lost behind infinite lines of code (it looks just like “the matrix”) and I spend my day and nights designing and refining the art parts of the game. It has been a crazy ride up to today and although we have made big progress, I can reveal that I am VERY stressed with the Ludum Dare Contest clock ticking like the doomsday clock above my head…

Concerning the game itself, the idea is to make a fun crafting game that features a chubby little ladybug called Herbie (yes, he is a BOY ladybug ) who uses all sorts of gadgets and materials to create flying machines so he can fly from one flower to other. You see, he is too cool (and bored) to fly with his own wings like the other loser ladybugs

There are still 2 weeks left for the contest to end and we have tons more work to do. What makes us really happy however is that the game, even in its primitive current form, is tons of fun to play! We have setup a launch page for the game here: http://www.flycraftgame.com/ and you are all invited to sign up and get updates. If you’d like to share it to your friends too, you’ll have a chance to be included in the credits among the top 5 referrers!

So stay in touch, I am off to my crayons and digital painting madness (the music recordings will start the next days too) and we’ll catch up very soon with the development of fly-craft-mania
