How does it make you feel to have collaborated with thieves?

:D

Oh, I bet he's doing f**king cartwheels over it.

Did you ever see anything unusual while working with the rest of the team?


I didn't notice anything out of place while working on the music. I had written descriptions about the levels and I based my music on those. I never saw any of the levels before I got my own boxed copy of the game. I haven't ever played most of the games the graphics were stolen from, so I doubt I would have ever noticed anything odd by myself.

I did compose the music for DVD main feature (it can be found on YouTube) but at last minute Majestic Studios decided to replace my music with something that "would better appeal to younger audience", so what you hear in that YouTube clip is NOT my music. To my knowledge it was made by Lawrence Francis, the person who was credited for music in the game.

I saw early versions of all the bonus DVD content when I was composing music to them but it never occurred to me that some of the visuals are stolen from elsewhere. Also after I was done with my part, they still did some changes (mainly additions) to those clips. That is the reason the music seems so out of place in the clips in YouTube.

I was an outsourcer, yes. I'm only credited in special thanks in the games pdf manual. I do hope this won't have too much negative effect on my career but what originally prompted me to go public with this was that my name appeared on some threads and also there was speculation about the originality of the music in the game.
