About SoulRed12
Hi, I’m Adam. Welcome to the SoulScroll, where you’ll read everything I have to write about my life and endeavors. Well, not everything about my life (I’m not a TOTAL open book), but mostly things I feel are relevant to my online readers. Specifically, music, and to a degree, video games. Mostly what you’ll find are the following:
-Posts about my music
-Posts about general aspects of game design
-Posts with video game reviews
-Posts with reviews of notable music
-Posts about random funny stuff
-Posts with whatever I happen to be feeling at the time
I’ll try to keep the last one to a minimum so as to not completely irritate you with randomness. But prepare for some my friend, prepare for some. At any rate, I think you’ll find the SoulScroll is a good read. I will try to write at least every Saturday, but no promises; I’d rather have a blog with fewer posts that are of higher quality than have a blog with a consistent post count that just has a bunch of filler posts you have to sift through to get to the good stuff. I’ve been writing for a while so I know what’s good and what’s not.
Honestly, though, this blog is for my readers as much as it is for myself. I love writing to blogs. Therefore, I will write whatever makes me feel good at the time. So if you plan to follow the blog’s rss (which I encourage…) prepare for that as well.
Some may remember the SoulScroll as the place which would post entertaining Game Maker tutorials. I still have a bunch of them on the blog (see the “tutorials” page), but unfortunately, that’s all you’re gonna get. I could lie and say that I’ll be posting new game maker tutorials every so often just to get you to subscribe, but that would be mean and I’m a nice guy. I’ll still be posting tutorials, but they’ll probably be about music, and if not, they won’t be about Game Maker. Sorry. The only possible exception is articles about general aspects of game design, which I still happen to remember pretty well from my game writing days. I’m just not using Game Maker anymore, and therefore I unfortunately don’t have much to write a tutorial about. Nor do I frankly have the interest to do so anymore. In addition, I don’t have Game Maker 8, so anything I were to write about Game Maker would only be relevant to GM7.
I also have the comments locked on all Game Maker tutorials (excluding the ones about general game design) because quite frankly, I’ve lost interest in supporting them. I can appreciate the flattery in being asked questions by people who expect you to be able to give them useful answers, but I don’t use Game Maker any more, and I don’t plan to, not to mention I go to college AND write music so I just don’t have the time. Therefore, those tutorials will stay locked, and if you need help with them, please take them to the Game Maker Community. Just link to the page with the tutorial you read and I’m more than confident they’ll be able to clear anything up. This may seem like a way to get people to post more links to my tutorials, but it’s really not. I’ve been honest with you so far, haven’t I? No reason to doubt me now.
Speaking of writing music, I’m involved with the awesome Megaman Battle Network fangame called “Chrono X”. We’re making really nice progress, and I’m the composer for the game, so when you play it (after the 3rd demo is released) all the music you hear will have been written by me. Even though I’m involved in it, I can say objectively that it really is a neat project, and you should check it out.
Finally, I do indeed have a general HQ of sorts for my music, and it is…*drum roll*…my Youtube channel! I post all sorts of music there, from my own original creations to released tracks from the Chrono X OST, to videos of me playing random classical songs and video game covers on the piano. It also has a few of my video game covers. There’s something for everyone, and new content being added…pretty frequently. Honestly, I should probably post more videos more often, but at least I’m aware of it, yeah?
Anyways, that’s it. Thanks for reading this far, and if you want more just read the blog’s content and infer what you want about me. It’s more fun that way, really.
