Adobe AIR apps: Drum Pad Beats

Drum Pad Beats is a fun beat/composer - scene/remixer to capture those ideas when that flash of inspiration hits while away from the studio.

Drum Pad Beats is aimed at users that want to create rhythms and melodies using pads and step sequencers. With the added ability to export their creations to wav, ogg or midi loops (zip, pcmsynth for Caustic), user ideas can be taken farther in mobile or desktop Digital Audio Workstations.

Great for sharing beats/tracks as dpb files and remixing another artist's track, the track could then be remixed again adding even more flavor. Drum Pad Beat's project file contains everything another user needs to take that idea even farther.

Create & share rhythms and melodies on the go — with this fantastic #StarlingFW, #FeathersUI, #AdobeAIR powered app: Drum Pad Beats: https://t.co/ofj1H5DTQ7

Adobe Animate 'Texture Atlas' extension

Starling extension that can load and play "Texture Atlas" animations that can be exported by Adobe Animate CC!

Different to what the name suggests, the "Texture Atlas" export option of Adobe Animate actually does not create just a texture atlas from an animation (that would be the old "Sprite Sheet" export), but it's an alternative to libraries/tools like "Flump", "Spine", "Dragon Bones", or "GAF".

Work in progress: Bumpy Spider

@tred: This is a game I creating in my spare time. Work title is Bumpy Spider named after it’s forgotten prototype called Bumpy Arcade Fantasy which was released in 1992 by Loriciels. The Bumpy Spider is a 2D platformer with some puzzle elements.

Besides the game itself I’m also creating a game level editor. At this moment I’m almost done with coding and going to dive into levels creation and adding more content to the game. Sounds effects and music still missing.

Early gameplay

And this is a timelapsed footage of game level creation using my editor
