The music of our game Arcade Lines is quite catchy. In Germany we call such tunes ‘earworms’ – which is a strange expression, but very much to the point.

So here is some information about the music of the game, if you want to know more:

It was created by an artist named ‘Falcon’, whose real name is Jacek Dojwa. The song is named ‘Cosmic Flow’ and is a special edit of the Falcon’s original song Cosmic outflow. The song is not in the mp3 format like most of today’s music, but comes as an .xm file. This is because it is created with a sequencer, which makes the music special and keeps the download size small.

Jacek Dojwa also is part of a project called Aural Planet. Here is a link to the website: www.auralplanet.com

My colleague Adrian, our  main developer here at Lobstersoft, has just gone online with his new website devermind.com.

Adrian intends to write mainly about software development on this site. His exciting first topic is ‘Linq entity Version property in databound controls‘. I kid you not – click on the link and check it out.
