Anders

Hey hi! I’m Anders, a sound designer and composer for video games living in Brisbane, Australia:) I am the co-founder of Wield Interactive, where we make RTS and strategy games, and a long-time collaborator at @supertonicaudio.bsky.social. I spend a lot of time thinking about synths and whisky:)

I rarely use my hardware for #videogames music, so I’m trying to turn that around! Here’s some drums from the #analogrytm and synths from the #monomachine. The Vox lead is from the Monomachine, and I love how it sounds like he’s really reaching for those notes in the vibrato! Game is TFC2, go WL!

"why can you not just enjoy AI art?"

Oh, what is this? Is it @jeffvandyck.com’s and my talk? At #highscore2026 on Saturday! Thanks @musophrenic.bsky.social for helping us set this up🙌

Heyo! We just released TFC2: Collapse of the Bronze Age into Early Access! It’s been a very busy period, and unfortunately I can’t take credit for the trailer musics, but if you like RTS games, maybe a bit of Bronze Age history, check it out! store.steampowered.com/app/4158610/...

A big day of announcements today! TFC2: Collapse of the Bronze Age is coming to Early Access on August 18th!😱 A story driven RTS depicting the journey of a family as they fight to survive the collapse of the Bronze Age. Very timely with regards to The Odyssey! store.steampowered.com/app/4158610/...

Woohoo, exciting news!

Oh hi! Just popping my head in to show Cast n Chill! @wombatbrawler.com has done an amazing job putting this together, with some of the most beautiful art I’ve ever seen. Been an absolute pleasure helping out on this! Catch it on Steam now!:) store.steampowered.com/app/3483740/...

The most excited I’ve been for a package to be delivered in a very long time!

Here’s your morning mood, courtesy of Pil Hwa.

I need to pick this game back up

"If the widespread theft of tens of thousands of Australians' creative works by big multinational tech companies, without authorisation or remuneration, is not already unlawful, then it should be." GOOD.

For those going home to visit family this weekend: • Samsung calls it Auto Motion Plus • LG calls it TruMotion • Sony calls it Motionflow • Roku calls it Action Smoothing • Google TV calls it Motion Enhancement • Vizio calls it Smooth Motion Effect.

Servonauts just released today! The team at Maxart were so supportive in my weird music ideas, and it shows! There’s such a wide palate of music genres, and on one of the tracks I got to play jaw harp, cigar box guitar, harmonica and spoons! store.steampowered.com/app/2514400/...

Remember last year when all of us on BlueSky agreed to tell all the new people that posts were called "skeets" as a joke to see if they'd believe us? Well, I'm worried that it's gone too far. We need to come clean and tell them that it was just a horrible joke. We thought it would be obvious, but lo

Working across time zones be like

Hey guys. I’ve just appointed salt to head the Department of Snail Protection.

Been doing sound design for Memory’s Reach, by @bendroste.bsky.social and it’s such a cool game! And that trailer music by @zanderhulme.bsky.social is pitch perfect! Definitely go Wishlist! store.steampowered.com/app/2126810/...

Some experiments with Madrona Labs’ Sumu! It breaks a sound into 64 partials, and lets you FM/AM those partials individually, then lets you move them around in a space SoundParticles style (but with a lot less control). A very cool synth that I’m yet to fully understand!

📣Putting out a call for game music composers from marginalized groups (LGBTQ+/POC) for a paid gig!📣 I’m looking for folks who can do Classical arrangements, think Cello, Piano, Victorian romantic and dramatic vibes. If that sounds like you, please reply or DM me your work! 🔁RTs appreciated🔁

I enjoy a bit of personality in my synthesiser manuals! And what a great sounding synth, too!

Feels good to be back with another Indie Release Dispatch via @pixelsforbreakfast.bsky.social after a month off. Really want to check out While We Wait Here, seems like my jam. www.pixelsforbreakfast.net/prestige-ani... Shares, subscriptions, kind words appreciated! What are you playing this week?

Someone just asked if our game was woke on Steam. My response:

As promised, here's a quick breakdown of how our Steam Next Fest went for our murder mystery comedy adventure game - Loco Motive! 1/7 🧵

What an incredible evening at the #agda this #migw, and so excited to take home the award for best sound for #CozyCaravan!

Also at PaxAustralia: Memory’s Reach, another title where I’ve gotten to stretch some sci-fi sound design👽 I had been wanting to do more sci-fi stuff for a long time, so it’s exciting to see it out in the wild:)

For all the cool cats at PaxAustralia, go check out Servonauts! It’s some of the most fun music I’ve made in a long time:)

I’m quite pleased with my fridge magnet. I have twelve fridges so far.

Nightmare on Elm Street if it was an Anime Might do some limited signed prints. #art

Just spent 5 days camping by the ocean and I feel I’ve returned a new person. Queensland is so beautiful

basketball’s all like gimme that pumpkin i need it and tennis is all like fuck this lemon you take it

I’m not too excited about the “this is the peatiest whisky ever” thing that is happening, but these Octomores are genuinely nice, especially the 12.2. I’m discovering that I’m really into pairing peat and sweetness.

@gamedevlist.bsky.social hello!:)

So Orwell: Keeping An Eye On You is currently free on Epic. I did a lot of writing, editing, and production on this one, and it is the highlight of my career. Would be cool if you went ahead and played it, or told a friend!

First time I’ve had these! Don’t understand what’s so Swedish about them?
