Despite a very difficult loss in my family this week, I do want to share good news for once. I contributed music to Barbie™️: Rewind! I hope everyone will enjoy the Dreamhouse segments of the game. We all worked so hard on this!

this month I worked on a Cyberpunk 2077 rescore for funsies. and yes, of course there's metal! #cyberpunk2077 #wwise #gameaudio #composer

(having dinner date with partner) GIRLFRIEND: I’m breaking up with you! All you care about are your pawns! ME: That's not true! PAWN: Arisen, their kind is weak to fire and ice both!

bit of a last-minute announcement but I'm going to be speaking at GDX this year! If you're local to Alberta or are visiting from afar, come say hi to me tomorrow or on the 24th, where I'll be doing an game audio Q&A! www.interactiveartsalberta.org/gdxconference

a piece of land where i could retire and start a not-for-profit hyrax rescue. i don't know what i'm exactly rescuing hyraxes from, seeing as i live in canada and they aren't endemic to canada, but yeah.

not so long ago, i followed a mega man legends decomp project with bated breath. now there's what looks to be several slop recomps out there and i have no interest in *any* of them. the scene has become a swamp. :/

thanks, i hate it. :(

was up late yesterday playing nivalis nights and got into a fight with a vacuum cleaner. no notes, 10/10.

SISTER: (explaining the inner dynamics of kids hockey) "but Jax you see isn't good at passing the puck. Daxton and Brexton however are just so much better team players. And Loxan ..." ME: (nodding) "But why are so many nobodies on the team? Why is Organization XIII getting involved in youth sports?"

it's hard to believe that next year, it'll have been A DECADE since I did the OST for Super Retro Maker, an 8-bit level designer that unfortunately never came out. But it led to many collaborations with the fabulous @maenots.bsky.social, which I am grateful for! #chiptune #famitracker #NES

tactics ogre must have one of the most insanely fucking complicated endgames i've ever seen in any game. and not even just within its own genre. ALL of the endgame/postgame areas sort of dovetail into one another like a labyrinthe clusterfuck smorgasbord. it's masterful, but deranged.

The Broodstar OST (and the game) is on sale for three more days!! If you love prog metal, chiptune and shmup games, don't hesitate while the deal is fresh! #vgm #chiptune #indiedev #shmup leiss.bandcamp.com/album/broods...

me: "i'm cured of my GAS, i don't think i ever want another new instrument again" me five minutes later: (sees a trautonium, starts salivating and making HONK AWOOGA sounds)

In honor of BroodStar turning 6 today, I'm also putting the album up for 50% off ($2.00!!!)! That's less than the price of an espresso, and I guarantee you that these 17 tracks of high-octane 16-bit chiptune goodness will keep you going for hours on end! #vgm #chiptune #indiedev

BroodStar also has an absolute banger of a soundtrack made by the talented @leissmusic.bsky.social The range she puts on display here is ridiculous. Give it a listen even if you're not interested in the game! leiss.bandcamp.com/album/broods...

The first game I ever made, BroodStar (yes, it's named after the MtG card) is currently on sale for 50% off! It's a shmup roguelite that's easy to get into if you're new to both genres but also has a high skill ceiling for those who aren't. store.steampowered.com/app/1232100/...

what if castlevania, but also stevie wonder

working on some new music this last week for a JRPG! i can't say too much about the project itself, but i'm very amped up about it and there's so much more to come!

how are most of us doing, myself included ... well ... awful, honestly.

why are you trans? wrong answers only. i was told there would be liminal spaces.

FINALLY

had chickie strips and fries the other day in camrose. 10/10, would do again.

Thread time! You're an indie dev, and you just hired a composer for your project after they blew you away with a demo reel. But now comes the hard part: how the hell do you actually brief them on how to write for your game? one word, plural. REFERENCES. but you need to dig deeper. how? read on!
