The music I wrote for games
Around 2006, an outline of a Portuguese game industry began to be formed and some opportunities in the field of game music emerged. I wrote music for some of this games and ended up winning that year the PIXEL BOY AWARD. Unfortunately, due to the 2008 financial crisis, many of the companies that had been formed went bankrupt, and the fun ended there. Only recently things have improved.
Shadow Stars: The Ventrui Belt
An arcade full 3d space dogfight game, Spellcaster Studios' first commercial production, and the first game I wrote the soundtrack for, back in 2004.

Aquatic Tales
An adventure and arcade game, developed by GameInvest touching on the issue of water pollution. The player's task is to protect the family of sympathetically made fish from various dangers. Altogether I wrote ten tracks, which were later recorded using a live orchestra, directed by me. The release was canceled due to the economic problems that arose at the time.
