I think it looks pretty swell.

What do you think? :)

Hello folks,

Just a quick announcement over the recent changes in my network:

- I have updated this link listing all the pages related to Forgotten Dawn including the newly introduced Audiojungle portfolio. This is still a temporary measure until the advent of my own website which will be due at some point in the future.

- My Redbubble account has been terminated, because I've simply grown uninterested about it and it does not represent my main activity in any way or form.

- My Youtube channel is no longer partnered/monetized. This is old news, but I wanted to reiterate it just because.

- My Audiojungle portfolio now welcomes another exclusive track in the hopefully ever-growing roster. (yay!) Feel free to check it out! More tracks are on their way.

- My Gamejolt page is not yet linked to the network for several reasons: at the current stage, there's not much I can show aside only a work in progress project by the title of _fade. There are a lot of irons in the fire and a lot of ideas that I would like to develop at some point, so if the stars align in the future, I'll definitely consider its introduction to the network. I'd just like to ensure a certain level of quality before actually showing what I have in mind.

That is all for now, stay tuned!

Hey there folks!

As a follow up to the previous update, I am now very happy to announce that my first exclusive audio for Audiojungle has been approved :))

Available at this link: http://audiojungle.net/item/the-dream-web/13234569

More tracks are on their way there, and a fresh new start is always very exciting.

Feel free to check it out!

Hey folks, how's it going?

As you may have already noticed, I've been taking a hiatus here in order to focus on other projects and indeed real life.

I am currently busy in game development on a project that I can't reveal yet, but it's taking some time and I definitely want things to align accordingly.

Besides that, I am currently thinking of starting producing exclusive music for this website in order to diversify my output and try to keep a steady production.

Does that mean I won't be making music for Newgrounds anymore?

Of course not. I'm just saying it can be another opportunity for me to reach a wider audience and keep the engine roaring.

That's all for now, stay tuned for further updates.

Yup, that's right.

I have just revoked my Freedom partnership on Youtube. Why? Because I think that sharing and product placement are more important than money itself and potential earnings.

Surely, there's no doubt that Forgotten Dawn is still an incredibly small channel with a little over 300 subscribers, as well as there's no doubt that I open up a bottle of champagne every time one of my videos passes the 100 views mark. However, it's also true that by joining their network I basically renounced to some of my freedoms, including the ability to decide whether videos I should monetize or not, which is — in my honest and humble opinion, bullshit.

I saw virtually no changes ever since I joined and I basically wasted my time even trying to gain something from it. So long story short, I'm saying a big flat NO to their ways, ensuring I have complete control over my own content without having to follow any enclosed community for the sole purpose of pushing my own channel towards lesser and lesser freedom.

Sorry for the rant, folks, just wanted it to get out of my chest for anyone of you who's thinking "maybe I should monetize my channel". Think twice.

Hey folks, August's almost done. Time sure flies...

Just passing by to say that I'm not going to be around much during the upcoming month of September due to real life commitments and a need to focus on other projects other than my own.

That's right, I'm still wanting to release a new version of _fade on Gamejolt with my good friend Zack on the codes. This version has been in the works for months and though still incomplete, the game/experience is playable with nearly 60-70% of the intended areas explorable. Follow the game at the link above for updates on its development!

Other than that, there's the newly opened GoFundMe that I have been trying to share in the past few days. If there's still any good soul left on planet Earth, you're more than welcome to contribute :D It's not just for me but for the future of the Forgotten Dawn project, as there's much to come and I'd like to fulfill its potential at some point in time — needless to say it's very important to me and I'd like to share the experience with as many people as possible.

What else, well... there's a lot of music I uploaded over the years you can listen to during my absence, so... have a look. :)

Questions, comments, ratings, feel free to address them in the section below.

Hey folks!

Just a quick announcement for anybody that has been interested in Forgotten Dawn since its first day: GoFundMe is now live. Details are covered in the following campaign description.

Greetings, everyone! I am Claudio, author of the music project Forgotten Dawn. I have been leading the project for a little over 2 years now, and I have been working hard to push my music well beyond the boundaries of the industry, focusing instead on producing scores for indie video games and being actively involved in game design.

I am currently a student, and I have done many sacrifices to ensure some financial stability while still taking care of my great passion for music and video games. Unfortunately, sheer will power alone isn't enough to pave the road ahead and I still have a long way to go to achieve this dream, but this is why I have ultimately decided to humbly ask for your help.

I would like to afford better professional tools for music and video game production and make sure my products meet certain standards in the grand scale of things. I realize the campaign goal isn't something within an immediate reach, but any help, even just 1 euro would be greatly appreciated.

For anyone willing to support my cause, you will forever have my deepest and sincerest gratitude. I encourage you to write your full names in your donations so that I can let everyone know who has contributed in the growth of Forgotten Dawn, not only as a musical project, but as an active and respectful community.

For any questions, feel free to ask below in the comments :)

Thank you for your attention and have a great day

Hey there, I have some good news to share!

X App Studio Group has just released their first major milestone title called "Tears of the Machine: Episode 01". We've been working on it very hard for well over a year, and we are very proud to have it finally available on iTunes for iPhone and iPad!

Having being the team composer ever since Prologue, I wanted to reflect the darker direction the project has been approaching so far through the use of ominous ambiances, extensive use of distortion and noise, and a generally more eclectic, action-oriented output.

The soundtrack is available on Bandcamp at a steal base price of 1.50€, so feel encouraged to support the Forgotten Dawn project through your purchases. :)

The game is available at this link here: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/tears-of-the-machine/id982078056?ls=1&mt=8

Hello folks!

FD here with a new project called "mangled.bits".

It's an experimental mini album featuring glitched electronic tracks and unpredictable sounds. It was made as a challenge to myself, as I wanted to make quirky music in the least time possible while still adding something a little different to what I have been doing lately.

The eight tracks making up the album will be shortly available on Newgrounds.

If you feel impatient you can always download the tracks for free on Bandcamp at this link: https://forgottendawn.bandcamp.com/album/mangled-bits

Thanks for your attention and feel free to leave comments/share some love!

P.S.: pssst, there are a couple of extras in the Bandcamp album version. :o

Hey folks!

It's been a blast at the Indie Revolution Expo last night! There have been amazing projects showcased, I think about 70 games in total, and it's been a great opportunity to know such dedicated people around the globe, not just programmers but also artists and designers.

To anyone who has missed the show including my own panel, I will share the recorded stream here as soon as it becomes available, so stay tuned for now :)
