Ticket to the Moon (TTTM)

Ticket to the Moon (TTTM) is a private company established through the invention of the Parachute Hammock. The company is based in Bali, Indonesia and their products are distributed to over 35 countries worldwide. The company prefers to be building a tribe rather than a business allowing followers to be a part of the company’s vision. The brand is found in over 1000 retailers worldwide including Amazon.com, Northland, Au vieux Campeur , AS Adventures.

History

The company was created in 1996 by Charles-Antoine Descotis via his adventure of travelling through India, where he enjoyed living and sleeping in hammocks for two years. At that time he was using the self made hammock made from polyester, mostly to protect himself from insects and dirt. When he arrived in Bali, he discovered a nylon material. He recognized the potential of the material as it was light, durable, elastic, breathable, anti-mildew and skin-friendly so he began making hammocks from this. His hammocks initially were made in his own home, and eventually he opened a small factory in Kerobokan, Bali in 2004 with 20 employees. Since then, the company has continued to grow and its hammocks have gained popularity reaching adventurers and dreamers from all over the world.

To the Moon

To the Moon is a 2011 role-playing adventure video game developed and published by Freebird Games. It is the fourth video game by Canadian designer/composer Kan "Reives" Gao and the first commercial production by his indie game development team Freebird Games, and was designed using the RPG Maker XP engine. To the Moon was originally released on the author's website and various digital download portals, and was later made available via Steam for Microsoft Windows on November 1, 2011. On January 7, 2014, the game was released with the Humble Indie Bundle X, making it available for OS X and Linux.

To the Moon was nominated for many awards, and was voted the best indie RPG of 2011.

Gameplay

To the Moon is built on the RPG Maker XP engine, which is used to create 16-bit 2D role-playing games, in the style of Dragon Quest or Final Fantasy. However, unlike a typical RPG, To the Moon has no battle system (aside from a joke battle near the beginning), inventory system or party system. The game's focus, being a more story-driven game, is around puzzle solving, interpreting information from the subject Johnny's life, and finding ways to get deeper into his memories.

Trust in Few

Trust in Few is the debut and only album of Ocala metalcore band We Are Defiance, released in March 2011.

Background and recording

The band announced that Tyler "Telle" Smith of The Word Alive and Danny Worsnop of Asking Alexandria would be featured on one track each. Smith was featured on the track "Not Another Song About You", though Worsnop was pulled off Trust in Few by his label Sumerian due to the fact the bands' records came out too close together.

The album was produced by ex-A Day to Remember guitarist Tom Denney, who also engineered, mixed and mastered the album at Diamond Studios in Ocala, Florida.

Release

Originally set for release on March 15, the release was delayed after a car accident the band had while touring through the US at the beginning of 2011, when lead vocalist Brian Calzini was brought into the hospital.

"To the Moon", "I'm Gonna Bury You Underground Eli" and "Weight of the Sea" were all released as singles prior to the album's release, with a music video shot for "It's Not a Problem Unless You Make It One".
