Hi Everyone! I know if has been a while, but I have finally polished and packed up my newest album! This album has been in the works for over 2 years now and is finally available right here and on Bandcamp.

I will be releasing this to all the streaming services in about a month and it will also be released as a limited edition cassette later this year. I am still trying to see if it is feasible to so a double vinyl release of this as well, but will keep you posted on that.

Special thanks goes out to Dan Kushner on this album for the use of his Vocals and Samples of his song “Bento Box” and also Matt Andrews for his amazing art package for this release.

Hi Everyone! I just wanted to post this up for all that missed my instructional live jam on my modular rig this morning. I had a great time, and it was fun talking with a bunch of you that I have not seen in a while.

If you have not followed me on Twitch and are interested to see other times when I go live, please follow me at twitch.tv/scottdanesi. I also use my Twitch channel to host some really great music producers, so be sure to check them out as well!

Thank you and enjoy!

Hi Everyone! I have noticed recently a slight uptick in people downloading my album from my website. I just wanted to personally say thank you for the support. This truly means a lot to me that you guys and gals are supporting my work. Purchasing my music directly from my website helps me avoid massive fees from the other distribution companies that sell my music.

I hope everyone is staying safe and healthy during these crazy/tough/uncertain times.

Thank you once again,
–Scott

Hey Everyone! Within the next 30 days I will be transitioning my album release “Total Nuclear Annihilation” to a new distribution company. During this time, the original album will come down from all streaming services and be replaced with a brand new “Expanded Edition” of the album. This album will have new remastered versions of the original songs, plus an additional song named “Scarlett” that never made it on the original album. This song is a dedication to the life of the main character in Total Nuclear Annihilation.

So if the release comes down before the new one is up, no fears, the Expanded Edition is right around the corner. The official release date of the new album is September 19, 2019.

I will also make the new track available as a free FLAC download on this site for all to enjoy once the album goes live on September 19th, so no need for anyone to buy anything extra.

Track List

  1. Total Nuclear Annihilation (Beepgate Reprise)
  2. Alpha Particles (Remastered)
  3. Inroads
  4. Heat Exchanger
  5. Steam Generator
  6. Turning Point
  7. Power Grid
  8. Nineteen Eighty Something
  9. The Armics
  10. Last Mission
  11. Scarlett

Hey there!!!  Another TNA code update is here!  This is a short, but good one.

I have fixed a few bugs and added what I like to call “Speed Runs” to kill each reactor.  What do I mean you ask?  The game now displays reactor uptime on the display telling you exactly how many seconds each reactor has been online for.  The timer starts as soon as the reactor start scoop has been hit and stops when the reactor is destroyed.  These speed times are stored in the high score table as “Reactor X Speed Run Champ”.  There are 10 of these.  One for each reactor and one for Total Annihilation!

Every second counts when battling these reactors so be sure to skip the reactor startup animation and be sure to skip the bonus count at the end of your ball.  Your reactor uptime pauses if another player is up, but the timer does not pause until after the bonus count.

Have fun everyone!

Code Update Procedure:
WARNING: Updating code on your game will reset your audits and settings on the game after the update procedure. However, these audits and settings are automatically dumped to the USB stick as a backup for your reference. I am planning to add functionality to save audits within the game in the future.

Step 1: Download the latest “pkg” file from the link above.
Step 2: Copy the “pkg” file to a USB flash drive. Do not change the name of the file, should be named “tna-gamecode.pkg”.
Step 3: Power off the game and remove the backglass.
Step 4: Insert the USB flash drive into an open USB port on the PC located on the right side within the backbox.
Step 5: Power on the machine, a message should appear saying that the software is updating.
Step 6: Once the code update is complete, remove the USB flash drive and restart the machine.
