If anyone is going to the Good Game Dev Club party at Develop on the Wednesday night... I'm just letting you know I have spent a stupid amount of time on preparing this music thing I'm doing 😂😅😭

We’re 2 weeks out from the early access release of OFFBEAT. The release will welcome a number of new instruments you won’t have seen in the demo, including - and I say this objectively - the raddest drum machine you’ve ever seen in your life 🏰 store.steampowered.com/app/4468030/...

We have OFFBEAT press/creator keys now available ahead of release! 🚨 [email protected] or @ us here or something, whatev Our strange little music production toybox launches into early access on July 22nd store.steampowered.com/app/4468030/...

Just as #SteamNextFest comes to a close... OFFBEAT has hit 20k wishlists! Wow!! Thank you so much! Maybe even more exciting is that our discord community is now teeming with cool people sharing their cool tunes they made in the game! Woo! Come have a listen: discord.gg/9he97xJEaw #indiegame

Yesssssssssss!

OFFBEAT is another really good demo this NextFest, idk shit about music but making a beat is like...extremely fun

aaaaa next fest has been really great!! going to sound a bit lame for a second here but it's honestly been pretty surreal to see OFFBEAT out in the wild! what do you mean the silly monkey I drew is on IGN . what do you mean 10k people want him

OFFBEAT hit 10,000 wishlists overnight, with nearly as many Demo downloads. Shout out to those of you realising your creative dreams and making music with your human hands and brains 🎹 store.steampowered.com/app/4468030/...

Six years ago a Choices Matter game called Over the Alps released. Stave was formed to make it, it became an Apple Arcade launch title, and it won a few awards. Part of that team went on to Tributary, and when Stave closed we couldn't just let it vanish. So... Re-introducing, OVER THE ALPS! 🧵

cross sections... does this count? from OFFBEAT, please wishlist and play the demo! store.steampowered.com/app/4468030/...

Played the OFFBEAT Demo in Steam Next Fest yet? Compose and produce a killer track. Send it to us. Maybe we'll publish it under the umbrella of OFFBEAT Radio & you'll be like more famous than Daft Punk or something, who knows store.steampowered.com/app/4468030/... open.spotify.com/track/7EsqOO...

One day, the technology will exist to make the zoomed-out monkey clap the same as the zoomed-in one. I'm confident that we'll see this development within our lifetime. If you would like to be there when it happens, you could pop OFFBEAT on your wishlist? store.steampowered.com/app/4468030/...

Been having a look at some of the other games in the Audio Production category at #nextfest. Thought I'd shout out two cool ones we found. I couldn't find the devs of either on bsky but tag 'em if you know 'em!

I know there's a lot more planned for this game too, super excited to see what else gets added Because I'm already having shitloads of fun with just a cat piano, a singing gnome and a thicc monosynth

It's also VERY COOL that one of the first things you see in the demo is the reassurance that you own the music you make in it I just know people are gonna make full albums in this thing and I am so here for it

I got a sneaky early play with some of the instruments coming in OFFBEAT by @whetstone.games 😍 It's such a joyous thing, really lovely, accessible and FUN - just what creating music should be!

OFFBEAT salutes our cousins in the BOXROOM! Soon, every game will have a seven-letter all-caps title. Hype to see that it's coming out!

As expected, the OFFBEAT demo is the coolest shit ever 😍😍😍😍😍 Cute instruments! Little sequencer! Vibey studio! Whipped this up very quickly, already cannot wait for the full thing 😻

I am no artist but I was looking to make some "Dark Energy" style songs for a dnd campaign and you guys sparked up my appetite to make some songs~ Hopefully I will finish them and post on youtube! I might even dust off the old FL Studio HAHA
