I did a talk for this particular conference all about Flash game development, and specifically optimizing games, and also participated in the third “IronFlash” competition, defending our title from the year earlier. IronFlash was essentially, 3 hours, to code something with a really cool theme, live on stage in front of lots of very patient…
This song was inspired by a few things. First, my first solo flight in an airplane while I was taking flying lessons, and second by the movie “The Aviator”. It’s tells a story; whimsy, tension, relief (landing). [audio:http://www.glenrhodes.com/audio/firstflight.mp3|titles=First Flight|artists=Glen Rhodes] (All songs Copyright 2000-2009, Glen Rhodes)
I’ve always been awed by the mighty Redwood forests, so this song is my homage to them. [audio:http://www.glenrhodes.com/audio/redwoodnights.mp3|titles=Redwood Nights|artists=Glen Rhodes] (All songs Copyright 2000-2009, Glen Rhodes)
A song I wrote that reminds me, for some melancholy reason, of my earliest childhood home. I’m not exactly sure why, but it just feels that way. I always compose with an image or a theme in my head.

For this conference, I did a talk on developing good Flash games. It was a packed house and I had a great time giving my talk and sharing my ideas. I also took place in the IronFlash competition for the first time that year with my teammate Craig Swann. Basically we were given a theme,…
For Shockwave.com, under SayDesign, I developed, programmed and did the music for the game “Domino Dementia“, a fun puzzle game where you must move and rotate falling dominoes into position to create matches, and clear the board.
This talk was on, surprise, games. I showed a few things about how games should be done, what to do and what not to do. In fact, the presentation SWF itself is here to be enjoyed, just read on to view it. At frame 51, it becomes interactive, so use the arrow keys to move…
This was one of my first games, all done in that annoying little Flash 4 window. But I was determined to make 3D work in Flash. It’s not true rotational 3D, but it is projection 3D. I got the idea for this game when I was flying from San Francisco to Toronto and I saw…
I did a talk on games at Flash Kit in 2001, when games were just starting to become feasible in Flash. Ironically, the talk was on games in general, but also on how one would integrate them to 3D – which was simply not done at the time. It was a lot of fun, in…
Imagine a mountain, with a spring gently trickling down it. This is the story that this song tells – it is one of nature and harmony. [audio:http://www.glenrhodes.com/audio/themountainspring.mp3|titles=The Mountain Spring|artists=Glen Rhodes] (All songs Copyright 2000-2009, Glen Rhodes)
