When we decided to rewrite Oddworks we wanted to keep some of the original patterns from the original. Most notablely the pattern matching for defining logic and connecting that logic with a common message bus. This also allowed us to embrace the service oriented architecture (SOA).
Oddworks services communicate with each other with Oddcast message bus channels. Those channels can be set up on top of any type of communication method like TCP, pub/sub, queues, etc called “transports”. The most basic form of a transport is an in-process transport in which all messages are sent around within a single Node process. Our Example Single Process Server illustrates this very well.
If, for some reason, you needed to disrtibute Oddworks across multiple servers you lose the ability to use the in-process transport. This is where you would need to chose another type. The Oddcast TCP Transport is the next step up you could leverage. With this you could deploy the Oddworks Catalog API server on one machine and the Oddworks Identity API server on another machine and have them communicate over TCP, but put them both behind the same domain. This would allow you to scale up/down each service individually based on your needs. For instance, maybe your Identity Service gets heavy traffic you could add a caching layer in front of just that service and leave the others alone.
This is merely the beginning of the flexibility Oddworks offers by using Oddcast to communicate. You can start by deploying a small single server instance and scale up accordingly by breaking out the serverices into their own separate processes and eventually their own servers and coninually to scale horizontally.

Sirius Rising Speech Test
Back in the days I loved speech synthesis like SAM on the C64, therefore I couldn’t resist to test some nowadays online text to speech tools for my game.
Although there is a free SAM (Software Automatic Mouth) online available, I choose Oddcast’s TTS since its high number of different voice characters and overall good quality. I wrote some messages for diverse ingame situations and hijacked them. Additionally I manipulated the speech with some sound plugins to give it an 8bit touch.
Tools (Online/Mac):
- Oddcast’s TTS (Online)
- Audio Hijack
- Cubase
- Bitcrusher (VST)
- Dualfilter (VST)
- Compressor (VST)
- L1+ Ultramaximizer (VST)
Here is my latest “Oddcast” which features Baliva talking about his new album “Imperfect” and how it was totally funded by his fans/supporters. On the show co-hosting with me is Noksy who is an emcee in her own right and my hip hop sessions V.I.P of the day.
We also talk about handling criticism and you can always trust me to come with the jokes and crazy banter! Press Play!

I sit down for some coffee and a chat with my friend Ben Reid on a cool summer day. We talk about Bike Culture in Birmingham and its growing presence. We give our opinion on a few news stories relating to Birmingham like the Food Truck Ordnance and mysterious graffiti on found on churches. We close out on the subject of dreams.
I sit down for a nice chat on a hot summers day with my friend Jordan Rickerson, lead vocalist and songwriter for The Dizzy. We talk a bit about the EP they just released and the so called “scene” in Birmingham. Enjoy!
