honestly the studio ghibli AI needs to go

Do your civil duty 🙏🏽

This month has been a lot of work, but happy with the results 🥲

Started making some basic character portraits (finally lol)

Battle system feeling a lot more smooth now with some techniques and damage numbers 💥🎻

After 7.5 years, my time making music & sound at @heartmachine.bsky.social is ending w/ the recent layoffs. I'd love to keep pushing boundaries -- please reach out if you think I can help solve your audio problems, especially if you're doing something artistically wild. RTs appreciated 🙏

still very early in development, but 3 hours of content is a huge milestone. Feeling like things are flowing well so far ☺️

only a couple more weeks until my GameSoundCon talk! it's a short 30 minute microtalk about music design, discussing all pros to having a music designer early and other cool lil bits

my daily work stance

I'm all for people experiencing joy. Get in as much joy in this life that you can.

D.A.N. Band is super underrated and I will forever love their song Chance. 水平線に見惚れてたおれは 風に置いてかれた 冷たい雨にうなだれるおれに チャンスはもうない　🎵

　 . ★⋆. ALBUM RELEASE . ★⋆. stutter is out now ٩(ˊᗜˋ*)و ♡ 🖇️ ⋆｡「 linktr.ee/laryssaokada 」 this record is a reflection of my innermost thoughts & pains over this past year. my god it's been a long one. but despite the world's horrors, we must persevere & create art. we must maintain our whimsy!

Getting laid off this morning from my job at Berklee was NOT what I was anticipating this morning. Disheartening

working on my first AoE attack visual effect 💥

but i know if i hold on, we’ll find a way sanctuary’s still a ways, away alas, here we go here’s a little mantra that’s been heavy on my heart for a while now. this one is called ‘alas here we go ft. @thronocrigger.bsky.social ‘ off my upcoming album stutter 🤍 9.26 !

Ayyyye 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽❤️❤️

Went through a whole overhaul from pure 2D to 2.5D for better lighting and shading. I'm liking the results so far ~

designed some trees and added wind turbines in the back 🌬️

call me when you get home is out now! there are times when the loved ones in our lives have arcs we cannot walk alongside; but that doesn’t mean we don’t wish for them to get home safely. ♡ visuals created in collaboration w @umisida.bsky.social & @aletiune.bsky.social ! 🔗 linktr.ee/laryssaokada

sneak peak battle sprite work ~

Looking back on it, #PacificDrive was a fun but very unusual project to work on - writing the individual pieces went by pretty quickly, but creating each "instrument" from scratch could take weeks of recording, editing, programming, and looking for happy accidents out in the real world! #gamemusic

Hey ya'll! So I was brave enough to start a little dev log journey for @duetofsonancegame.bsky.social that I've been in the works of. Def not making the logs a priority but more as little check ins : www.danthonimusic.com/blog/2025/8/...

early 2000s ps1-ps2 era dream

haven't posted small little compositions in a while and that's long overdue ~

"We...don't have another choice..." Something dark is slowly creeping it's way into the city from the shadows...

The game audio and video game composer community is pretty awesome I’m ngl. There’s so much support and love for not only the music but for each other. Super grateful to be a part of it. 🤍

Also - I know times are a little rough for the game industry right now so if anyone wants to chat about the industry, composition topics, or want to just have a coffee please let me know! I’m here to help in any way I can!

I’ve been a bit quiet on social media but I can confirm that I am writing music for some cool things coming ✨✨✨

🌻🌅☁️

the ANOTHEREAL Summer Update 2025 is now live on the blog for everyone to look at with their eyes! inside: what even are chapters in a game? thoughts on episodic releases. playtesting chapter 1 w/ friends. various things that have changed in the past year due to feedback & testing, and what's next?

I finally got around to writing a little music for my little game project 😬 It felt so lifeless without it but it feels a lot less unnerving watching little pixels running around silently

updated the battle scene with some animations ~

WIP city design, so a mini tour and a working dialogue system ~

📚☕️🎵

Hey everyone! I haven’t been on here that much but as some people may already know I’ve been developing a music themed RPG game and will start posting updates on the official game page @duetofsonancegame.bsky.social ! I started collaborating with some talented folks so super excited for it!

A little city planning 🏙️

Pew pew pew 💥

🎵🎵🎵

Oh cool a music RPG game fun fun

A few more sneak peek images~

For the last five years I have been working on a story for a video game and… now I’m starting on the actual development 😬 I’m super excited to be sharing some new updates about it fairly soon but for now I’ll be working hard and sharing little pieces of it ✨🙏🏽 still composing music too btw~

Had a blast singing the main theme of Pacific Drive at @officialgdc.bsky.social this year, written by the amazing @wilbertroget.bsky.social ! Will wrote the soundtrack and we collaborated a couple of years ago so it’s such a treat to sing this live for the first time!!

Singing for GDC concert conducted by Austin Wintory! Super thrilled to be singing live for Wilbert Rogets amazing music ~ m.twitch.tv/gdc?desktop-...

It's finally out!!! It was such a fun time being on the audio team for this project working with the amazing @troupe.bsky.social, @ulyssesatsea.bsky.social, and @danthoni-wooten.bsky.social! If you have a Meta Quest please check it out - there are some great sounds and even better tracks in there!!🪅
