Hi Bluesky friends! I promise I won't do this all the time, but I put together a neat little demo reel of a few projects I've worked on! If any of you need melodically-rich, (potentially) award-winning music for your games, hit me up! www.johnrobertmatz.com #gamedev #gamemusic #gameaudio

YouTube hasn't paid out music streaming earnings to Distrokid for almost two months with no communication, so my income has been cut in half just for fun. It's a startling reminder that the entire streaming ecosystem could just go away overnight because a tech company lets it. Buy albums if you can.

So, I've been playing Sulfur (early access, FPS Roguelike), and the way it's structured, I managed to beat the first level boss, victory-return to the home base with all the stuff I'd acquired, and progress through the first biome of the second level and a large way through the second biome...(cont)

All the way having the challenge (and my commensurate strength) ratchet up higher and higher.

It's #BandcampFriday! Right before the pandemic, I had the pleasure of writing a score for an exciting cyberpunk-meets-mythology CCG called "Mythgard". It was a small project, but was remarkably well received, and folks really seemed to like the OST. johnrobertmatz.bandcamp.com/album/mythga...

While Zero Company has just been released, Star Wars Outlawsβ€”the latest SW game that wasn't a remaster, a VR game, or a Monopoly spin-offβ€”came out exactly two years ago today. It's too bad there won't be a sequel to the adventures of Kay and ND-5, because I had a really good time with this game.
