Buccaneer News

Posted in News, Games by Joel on the January 11th, 2009

Ha, Buccaneer news - shouldn’t that be something like “The price o’ rum be down two gold pieces a barrel.  Blackbeard spotted near St. Kitts…”   Instead I present you with news about the game “Buccaneer: The Pursuit of Infamy,” for which I composed the music!  Here’s a fine quote from this review at Gamecyte:

“Complimenting the graphics nicely is the game’s score, which features some fantastic piratey music that could have come straight from the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise. Had someone told me that these songs were some random epic tunes from one of the many action scenes in the three movies, I probably would have believed them.”

And there was a very cool article published about the making of the game in The Guardian which is well worth a read if you have any interest in indie game making.

Buccaneer released!

I composed the orchestral score for the new pirate themed ‘epic arcade game’ from Stickman Studios called Buccaneer - The Pursuit of Infamy !  It’s available now through the Steam download service, and there’s a demo as well.  Check out the trailer below, which features the anthemic theme!  Yarr!!
