Ooh, that’s nice. Thanks for sharing, Juuso.
Some of the background music is from one of my favorite bands, Apocalytpica. They play metal music (originally Metallica covers) on four cellos.
Inspiring! I’m wondering if this approach of computer aided design can be ported to rapid game prototyping?
@Brian: Apocalyptica is a Finnish band. If you want to see what other Finnish Heavy Metal bands play, check this out, it’s kinda the opposite of Apocalyptica, they play Vivaldi with E-Guitars :)
