Completed projects and Knights Of Soundtrack live
One of my PCs died some time ago so I took the chance to migrate to a 64 Bit system, loving it.
We finished music/SFX for Kumpa, Handball Simulator 2010, Toyborgs and GameFeature Podcast.
You can buy Kumpa at the Android Store.
Handball Simulator 2010 will be released January 2010 (Z-Software / Astragon).
Toyborgs will be released on Dec 19th 2009 @ Xbox Indie Games. The release party is on Dec 12th 2009, and the Knights Of Soundtrack will be performing the massive rock soundtrack live at a premium location in Düsseldorf, Germany! If you want to attend, let me know, I’ll try to smuggle you in. 🙂 By the way, all songs are online for free on the game’s website!

We work on “A New Beginning” (Daedalic / Deep Silver)
We are happy to announce that we are creating Music & SFX for ” A New Beginning”, a forthcoming game by Daedalic / Deep Silver. “A New Beginning” is a classic adventure, set in modern day and the future, in which we need to stop the world’s destruction by mankind.
Daedalic are the creators of the successful adventure “Edna Bricht Aus”, which has received a bathtub full of awards. They are soon releasing their next game “The Whispered World”, which many people are waiting for as it could possibly be the most beautifully hand-drawn adventure yet.
Deep Silver is a leading publisher with games like “Gothic 3”, “Sacred 2”, “Anno 1701”, “Geheimakte Tunguska” and the highly awaited forthcoming “Risen”.
We would like to thank our partners and are looking forward to a lot of fun with “A New Beginning”.
