Proud to announce BeatChip '95 is out today on Steam! Can't wait to hear what everyone thinks of it. Play it here: store.steampowered.com/app/4250100/... #indiegames #indiegaming #indiedev #gaming #gamedev

Playing around with prototypes atm. This is an idea for a sort of turn-based / rhythm game mashup. The bottom menu would give classic JRPG style options but you have to think fast to take advantage of your turn as the beat keeps rolling regardless #indiedev #gamedev #indiegames

She's sweating because she knows I can work magic with shaders now #indiedev #gamedev

Taking some time to learn a bit of shader magic now work on BeatChip is largely behind us #indiedev #gamedev

Been a wild release day. One player found out you can run two instruments through one effect which we hadn't actually figured out ourselves. Love it though! #indiedev #gamedev #indiegames #gaming

Creative mode allows your to finally unlock the ability to play four drums at once, all with distortion, reverb and delay. BeatChip '95 release on Monday! #indiedev #gaming #gamedev #indiegames

Final song getting added to BeatChip '95 before release on Monday! Was planning a simple minor jam but decided to go spicy with a phrygian dominant thing. #indiedev #gamedev #gaming #indiegames

Little tribute in our achievements to the great @adamneely.bsky.social #indiedev #gaming #indiegames

Working late cramming as much music in as possible before release on Monday! Unique track every time on the title screen #indiedev #gamedev #gaming #indiegames

Playing with subtle (too subtle?) post-processing effects. Idk now I have figured out the basics I need to get the art director in to actually make decisions! #indiedev #indiegaming #gamedev #gaming

It's been a long old road with Beatchip '95 but we're so proud to be taking part in the current #steamnextfest Wishlist now! #indiedev #gamedev #indiegames #gaming

Looking for advice on Player Simulation for balancing my game. Anyone got experience doing this? I've heard Slay the Spire used Monte Carlo simulation... also that Beam Search is a thing... Any advice appreciated! #indiedev #indiegaming #gamedev #gaming

Hope everyone's having a good #steamnextfest. Why not play the BeatChip '95 demo as part of the festival now? #indiedev #indiegaming #gamedev #gaming

I'm not tired you're tired. Took the day off working on the demo update cos puppy got poorly 😢 #indiedev #gamedev #indiegaming #gaming

I've tried to avoid having technical musical terms in BeatChip '95 but by popular demand I've added effect names in for ease of recognition. Cassie's happy about it at least! #indiedev #gamedev #indiegaming #gaming

Finally ran the math - players have over 2 billion options for making their own tracks in BeatChip '95! Thanks to my sister who has more math smarts than me XD Here's a more simple track to celebrate #indiedev #gamedev #indiegaming #gaming

What 3 drum kits through mad effects sounds like in BeatChip '95. Wishlist now to make it your own! #indiedev #gamedev #indiegaming #gaming

When it's 10 days til #SteamNextFest and your human spends too much time working at the computer XD #indiedev #indiegaming #gamedev

Latest trailer for BeatChip '95. Ramping up for #SteamNextFest week after next. Wishlist now at store.steampowered.com/app/4250100/... #indiedev #gamedev #indiegaming #indiegame

What 3 times the bass sounds like in BeatChip '95! This is totally possible in game but somehow today was the first time I thought to actually try it #indiegames #indiedev #gamedev

BeatChip '95 demo is now live on Steam! Go and try it for free now and, if you like it, wishlist the full game coming later this year store.steampowered.com/app/4626660/... #indiegames #indiedev #gamedev

Recorded about 75 new loops for the music studio in BeatChip 95 today. Sounding pretty cool! #indiedev #gamedev #newmusic #gameaudio #pixelart

Trying to make a speech sound for our mascot today. Nothing quite clicking yet. Needs to sound a bit like tape somehow #indiedev #gamedev #sounddesign

Bit of Title screen design. Cassie T gets scared of the quit button and overjoyed at the wishlist button! #gamedev #indiedev

Got the instrument shop up and running. Beautiful instrument sprites from Tim Woodson! #indiedev #indiegames

My attempt at a mascot vs what our artist came up with. I'm quite proud of my little guy but can't really compete with a professional! #gamedev #indiedev
