future projects  
Autonomous Music Generator
(code named 'Muzakaster')
A full-on generative music development environment with a custom scripting language and ability to create stand-alone applications. Picture the WMCP and Abominaclavia with the ability to add random and algorithmic autonomy so you could develop, say, a never ending and always different yet the same music player of custom and or bastardized musical styles. Will probably be written for Windows, but may be written in Java (using the code base developed for Malodie) to be cross-platform.
priority high
BTB/Abominaclavia Sample CDs
will contain around 100+ samples ready to play in BackToBasics (Mac & Win) and Abominaclavia. Will also include setups for all Bludgeonsoft music software.
priority medium high
MIDIBackToBasics
Like BackToBasics, but instead of triggering sounds, this will trigger MIDI files and loops.
priority low
Wizard Master Fonts
Many of the fonts used on the Wizard Master, O.R.I. and Bludgeonsoft sites have actually been developed as TrueType and bitmap fonts. For some of these though, not all of the characters have been finalized. A Bludgeonsoft page is in the works to make these available.
