Hello. I am the director/animator guy of Toh Kay’s With Any Sort Of Certainty video. You may have seen it. In fact, 55+k of you did in the first 48 hours. That is until the fine folks at (asshat record label) issued a takedown complaint to Youtube and Vimeo, for Tomas’ own original song and my own original animation. They took it off of my Vimeo account. That felt… weird. At this point, (asshat record label) is working their hardest to make sure the video goes away, possibly for good. The issues between Tomas and (asshat record label) go back through many acrimonious years, and I just happened to have my own work dragged into it by a record label trying to prove a point. They have lawyers. I do not. So I can’t fight them and it may take a long time for it to get ironed out enough that I can repost it again.

I worked very hard on this video. It means a lot to me. And I was so pleased and gratified to know that it meant a lot to some of you who saw it. Thanks so much for your emails and stuff. You guys are great. Both Tomas and I will have the video on our sites, but who knows how long that will last. And I want as many people to see it as possible, and to have it readily available for new people to see and hopefully connect with and enjoy.

And so, here is a download link for the full 1920x1080 video. It should be good for about 2 weeks. Enjoy it. Upload it anywhere and everywhere. Remix it. Torrent it. Blog it. Tumblr it. Tweet it. Um… print it out and post it on walls? I don’t know. Whatever the spirit moves you to do.

Neither of us want to see this thing we’ve worked on go away. You can’t ever really erase something from the internet, especially music and art. It just gets out there, that’s what’s so great about it. It lasts. And with your help it should only be a quick and easy Google search away from anyone who wants to see it.

Thanks so much for caring. Go and buy some stuff directly from Tomas and support him during this fucked up situation. And if you are so inclined, check out my work and my prints here.

Thanks!

This video is amazing and needs to be seen.

Our latest game, PITSTOP, is out for Windows 8! Swipe or drag to fit tyres to an F1 car. Get it for free HERE: http://apps.microsoft.com/webpdp/en-US/app/pitstop/d5804bd6-0d6a-42c3-9ef1-ccf66c185032

It got 31 downloads on its first day! Looking good :D

PITSTOP is now in the Windows 8 Store!

“Evolution!” is a really weird game because it’s morphed so much since my original idea. I wanted it to become a game like Spore, where you commanded a shoal of fish and tried to dominate your part of the ocean, feeding off other species and growing to become massive sharkbeasts and rule the seas.

That was too much to ask and didn’t fit with the idea of casual touch-screen gaming, so I went with a more traditional, ‘collect the spheres’ model of gameplay. Tried and tested by arcade games of the past, so it should be a solid game.

Submitting for certification today.

Here are the five games on my Start screen, outlined in orange. I’m quite proud :D

Another picture of Roket, passing Mars.

This one is called Roket. Try to escape the Solar System while picking up thrust and avoiding alien crafts.

Another game I’ve made for the Windows 8 launch: Pitstop. Swipe to change the tyres on a Formula car and try to match the sub-3 second times like the real teams.

An upcoming game, Bouncy and the Apple, for Windows 8 Store. Defend the tree by spraying pests with your watergun and refill at the lake.
