Hi friends! Are any of you interested in group or one-on-one composition lessons? Do you want to learn how to make music happen but you're struggling to find your voice? We're looking to gauge how much demand there is and prepare accordingly. Please let us know which you're interested in!

We backed it, and we would love y'all to check this out and back it as well if you're able!

this just in: im an abusive gamedev for (checks notes) making you feel things

A good friend just DMed me to ask if I heard the track in Deltarune ch4 with the weird time signature and I just cracked up laughing. (This has become far too inside-baseball to explain, but I hope some of y'all got it.) (Also I'm playing chapter 4 today so hopefully I'll hear it soon.)

This music is fun and adorable and y'all should give this a peep.

Today (23 June) is Lindar's birthday! Help us celebrate by listening to our music, especially our latest release, DOOMTROID! 💙BIRTH!!!💙

Feeling under the weather, so today's stream will be rescheduled.

Oh hey Happy Pride, y'all! Support queer artists! (It us. Support us.) Remember, listening to music by queer artists can in fact turn you gay, and if you play our music backwards you'll hear a lovely recipe for vegan chili.

We are live! twitch.tv/thumpypuppy

Reminder, we're streaming today at 6pm Pacific! www.twitch.tv/thumpypuppy

Going to start doing weekly Twitch streams on Wednesdays starting at 6pm Pacific. We're going to be talking about sound design, music theory, and plenty of other silly things!

Trying to save up for some new equipment but things are starting to get tight since relocating. Streaming and buying our albums helps a bunch, and there are links to support us directly on our Linktree in our bio.

Real conversation in the studio today: Lindar: You could do a bang in 7. Wendy: 7 is tricky for me. I'm better in 5. Lindar: If 5 is just a silly 3 then 7 is just a silly 4.

We are presently looking for performing musicians in the Oakland / San Francisco area, as well as studio musicians for future projects. This is paid work, so if you or someone you know might be interested, please reach out!

We're live and talking about time signatures!

We're gonna do a little Twitch test run over at twitch.tv/thumpypuppy in around an hour (0300 UTC). Come hang out!

"Wow who actually needs that?" People with accessibility issues. Playing MH Wilds on my Steam Deck now that it can actually play at a moderate 25-30fps and it finally occurred to me to remap Y+B to a single grip button because I keep not being able to press both consistently.

Does anyone in Oakland, San Francisco, or Los Angeles want to book us for a small live show? We'd love to play some ISAT hits and some improv weirdness for our lovely fans.

The SAG-AFTRA strike is still on and we would like to remind you all that companies are refusing to sign agreements saying "We won't feed your work into gen AI so that we can replace you." and that seems so minimal? We stand with SAG-AFTRA and we do not support the use of generative AI.

Okay it's not just us, then.

when it releases on steam (most likely at the end of the month) it will also be available in french AND spanish. finally you'll be able to play this little visual novel of mine

I swear we're actually doing stuff and the whole studio hasn't gone on holiday just because MonHun Wilds dropped, nope, still working and not just playing games all day, nope.

Oh my goodness I, Lindar, just had the opportunity to meet and test a one-shot with the lovely Mikaela of Jumpin' Jax Tavern! The folks at Jumpin' Jax have these absolutely DARLING D&D class-themed gift boxes you need to check out, and they're starting tavern takeover events in New York!

What days and times are y'all available to watch Twitch streams? We're planning some music prod stuff, but also some silly streams and let's play stuff and finding a good time would be lovely.

It turns out doing a podcast is actually a lot of fun, so if anyone would like to invite me (Lindar) to do a podcast, Twitch stream, or anything else, please reach out! 💙

That person you admire for making that thing you love saw another person they admire for making that thing they love, went to to say hi, panicked at the last second, and instead walked directly into the ocean. (This is a true story about a non-studio colleague.)

Had an amazing time!

My podcast for creatives IS HERE with some real incredible and inspiring guests, starting of with the one and only Lindar from @thumpypuppy.bsky.social !! ✨ Massive thanks to her for sharing her insights and story. The episode is now available on both Spotify & Youtube! 🩷 [ #podcast ]

Lindar the stranger: 7 (I'm 192cm/6'4", 115kg/250lbs, and I have body mods.) Lindar the niche internet celebrity: 8-9 Lindar the actual person: Zero. On a scale of 1-10 I am not at all intimidating, I am a massive husky who thinks she's a lap dog and is afraid of the vacuum cleaner. Awoo.

Oh hey, we're just gonna plop this down here in case anyone likes short indie films. (It's a very sweet narrative and we were so happy to score it!)

Oh my goodness, our very own Lindar K. Greenwood is going to be on a brand new podcast about creatives! Recording starts tomorrow, and we'll link to it once it's online!

Small hint about an upcoming project: Do y'all know what "the dust" is? You can never fully get rid of it. It gets stuck to your shoes, all of your things, down every crevice, and right into your soul. You can buy new shoes, you can leave the dust forever, but you can't wash it off of who you are.

Oh gosh, we're over 1k followers on here! Thank you so much, y'all!

Random small bit of advice from a professional: People who love the process will have a better time than people who love the result. Start drawing, pick up an instrument, try juggling, tell jokes, do improv games with your friends. Who cares that you're not good at it if you're having fun?

Lindar: My bestie has never actually heard the whole ISAT OST before, just bits and pieces from production, so she suggested we listen together, and I think she cried no less than six times in those ~90 minutes. She had to watch a comfort show and take a nap afterward, and y'all I didn't realize.💙

Is there a non-terrible way to stream from a Steam Deck? Considering streaming some games, but the PC is purely for work, and not sure how to stream Steam Deck or Switch.

Just heard some music from A Hat in Time and for all the comparisons we get to UTDR/Toby it's a little surprising we haven't heard this comparison yet. Might have to check it out based solely on the music.

Getting a serious itch to write music for something old and limited. Is anyone making any DOS/NES/GB games? The urge to crank out tunes without having to think too terribly hard about sound design is becoming quite fierce.

Congratulations to the magnificent @b0tster.yeag.gay for winning the Anti-Woke Gaming Award for Best Racing Game! 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️ We're waving the flag for you as soon as we catch our breath. 🤣 (I swear not even the Onion could write something this good.)

Hello lovely people. Did you know our very own Sadie Greyduck (Friend Quest, The House - Floor Four, and more) makes beautiful glass artwork? Skateboards, knives, swords, lamps, and anything you could imagine are available for you to have for your very own! Give her page a look and DM to buy!

too many people. scary

Dear nerds of BlueSky: Lindar's tech-golem of a PC has once again died and it could be any one of a number of aging parts. A laptop is likely in order at this stage to accommodate working in multiple locations. Any recommendations for a non-gaming audio workstation laptop?

VOLUME WARNING Our new transcriber is working on one of our favorite tracks, "Siffrin Accidentally Sets Off a Bomb", and it's going really well for being arranged for solo piano.

There has been a lot of interest in charting songs from ISAT in various rhythm games and unfortunately asks have always come in an unofficial capacity. We need actual formal licensing agreements and approval from the developer. We own the music and distribution rights, not the IP itself.

As we move into the new year, we would like to thank you all for the support so far and plan to bring you more in the future. We also have open slots for soundtrack development, guest tracks, and collaborations, so please reach out and tell us about your project!

Next year we have some projects to starting up: • Regular streams. • Patreon. • Behind-the-scenes stuff! • MIDI files! • Open to suggestion! • More games. • More music. • Film and TV! • Can't wait to be able to give y'all the juicy details! • More cool projects we can't discuss! (NDA!!!)

Absolutely blown away by this festive winter remix that incorporates a different leitmotif half way through that we barely caught on the first listen.

Congrats to @nomada.studio for landing the Emotional Impact award! It's well-deserved and y'all earned every tear shed by your players. 💙👍
