Gimme' a break!

Hey guys! So I'm taking a break from working on video game projects at the moment.... so what am I doing?.....

Well I just finished up 2 side projects and I'm already working on my 3rd.

The first project was to create a tool for Saito ( the founder of Translation Generation ) which would it easier to organize and translate dialogue boxes for hacked RPG games. Here's some screen shots of the tool :

You can download the program here (DOWNLOAD NO LONGER AVAILABLE). Oh, and if you find any bugs email me at rekcahdam@gmail.com !

The second project was to write a title song for a game called "Kharlia - Tale of Magnus the Mad" made by a friend using RPG Maker. He requested that the music have a "snes" sound style. You can listen to the song here.

As for the third project....... I CANT TELL YOU BECAUSE ITS A SECRET! But I promise that it will be good. I'll make a nice blog post about it when I'm well into it.
