Sunday saw our first show for 2012… and we had a blast! About 200 people were in attendance for this year’s Hideo: Overture. A big thank you to everyone who attended and joined us for the meet-and-greet afterwards. We’re looking forward to making an appearance at AOD again next year!

More photos to come, but [...]

Breaking New Ground

Gary — Wed, 15 Feb 2012 19:46:35 +0000

A while back I wrote about the concept of a Hideo app, one where users could have a central place to check out latest news, videos, music highlights, and even join the conversion. It wasn’t too long after that I began designing at my agency a new experience called the Ultrabook™ [...]

A Mega Idea

Chris — Mon, 13 Feb 2012 19:25:20 +0000

As you may know, I have transcribed and recorded a couple of pieces from Mega Man in the past: “Elec Man” from the original Mega Man and the intro to Mega Man 3.

I am thinking about working more diligently on transcribing classic Mega Man music in particular for the piano. [...]

A New Blogger Appears!

Jerry — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 19:00:22 +0000

So it would seem that this is the first time we’ve seen each other… Or rather, that you’ve seen me address you through this random assortment of characters sorted in lines and spaces. I may never get the privilege of seeing you, and now you have the full advantage of knowing a cross-section of me. [...]

One of the most exciting things about working on Blackwell has been creating new and interesting characters to populate Hideo’s world. For my next few blogs, I’ll be introducing these characters and sharing some of Jessica’s concept sketches, which will eventually make their way to our character page as well. Today, [...]

Coming Soon: Our Next EP!

In my last post, I gave you the rundown of our 2012 plans: conventions, the graphic novel, another studio EP. Today, I’d like to add a new one to the list: we’re taking the audio from the 2011 show and producing a live EP!

We have 48 glorious tracks of audio [...]

Gear!
If you’ve ever read any of my other posts, you have probably realized that I am a man who loves talking gear. One of my more hardcore gadget-based obsessions is cameras. Traditionally, I have only been interested in video cameras, as I was generally under the following school of [...]

Real Composers Do It 8-Bit

Chris — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 22:58:10 +0000

I came across a pair of interesting game music articles on joystiq over this past week by Jesse Gregory: “Game Music: Enhancement Through Limitation” and “What? Game Music is Evolving!” These articles talk first about how the limitations of the original game consoles stimulated the creativity of those games’ composers and [...]

Starting the New Year With a Bang

Hello Internet! Long time no see. We’ve been recovering from the holiday season, so we’re finally getting back into the swing of updating the blog with news about Hideo and other cool tidbits like what I’m about to share with you now. Actually, this isn’t really a “tidbit” as much as it is a gigantic [...]
