Also: thanks to the wonderful @mathildesound.bsky.social for the adorable handcrafted ODDADA earrings that can barely be seen here, and which I now use on all expos and conventions. I love them.

The Norwegian games expo (SpillExpo) has been an absolute joy. We’re so happy with the reception of our game Sacred Gems! Some parents had to physically drag some of their kids away. My heart broke a little when one of them asked if he could get it for Christmas bc it’s not out yet 🥺

Thanks for having me work on it! It was fun to merge non-conventional percussive sounds with jazz.

With the book released and the audio version on the way, check out the music for Steam-Powered Battle-Barrels by Oliver Getz from @nordicscoring.com and myself! First up, the opening theme! youtube.com/shorts/EB5aE...

With the great Oliver @nordicscoring.com at Spillexpo, showcasing their game “Sacred Gems”: a quite difficult, but very nice game; with a superb soundtrack and sound effects

Our game audio conference, Game Audio Conference Oslo, is happening for the 4th time! We have an insane speaker line up this year: Chance Thomas, @alyxjones.bsky.social, Eduardo Vaisman, @mathildesound.bsky.social, the audio team from Dune, and many more! Join us in Oslo in September! #gamedev

I'm not making a game to appeal to a wide audience, or for as many possible people to play it. I'm making a game for a handful of people to love it to pieces. I'd rather make something that one person loves with all their heart than something a thousand people think is okay. #indiegamedev

A large group of people may like a game and never want to spend money on it. A handful of people loving a game throw money at it.

Panta Rhei is OUT NOW! Check out this gorgeous, time-bending action rogue-lite and support an amazing team! 🧡 In this game, I play Phi, the player character, who is striving to right past wrongs and combat the power of Chaos!

We put together some footage from our initial meeting with voice talents for the game Panta Rhei, where our narrative designer/CEO and the talent discuss their character. This one is with @ginaleighsmith.bsky.social, who gave our main character a voice and greatly improved their personality.

It's heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeere! Panta Rhei - Guardian of Time has released today! store.steampowered.com/app/1730550/... Humongo thanks again to @reignitegames.bsky.social, @nordicscoring.com, and everyone else involved for giving me the chance to be a part of this project. Say hi to Tau for me!

Panta Rhei by @reignitegames.bsky.social is releasing this week!! It's absolutely bonkers to see how this game has changed in less than a year. Doing sound, music, and audio implementing for this game has been a pleasure. Steam if anyone want to check it out: store.steampowered.com/app/1730550/...

I regret not having been active here lately. One of the games I’m working on is launching in less than a week, and it’s been challenging to balance various aspects of life. I also had an important deal fall through recently, due to the other party changing their terms just before signing. Not ideal

Birdo almighty, I love this job! Thank you to the ones over at @reignitegames.bsky.social and @nordicscoring.com for allowing me to give a voice to Tau in the upcoming game Panta Rhei. Check out the demo on Steam.store.steampowered.com/app/1730550/... It's set to come out July 31st!

I developed a technique for writing combat music for video games. Aesthetically, it's inspired by the battle music in various Zelda games, but I based it on counterpoint to make the dynamic fragments more seamless while increasing the amount of variation one can get out of the core ideas. #gamedev

‼️check out our new trailer and release date‼️ we're beyond excited to announce that Panta Rhei will release July 31st on Steam if you could wishlist using the link below, we'd be forever grateful 💛 #indiegame #indiedev #gametrailer #trailer #gaming #gamedev #roguelike #hades #timetravel

And his name shall be… Shrek.

The true benefits of a completely unregulated market is the freedom to figure out for yourself which products will kill you and which won’t. Only the brands that don’t kill you will survive, yay! This post was brought to you by: micro plastics in everything.

Game Audio in Norway is currently hosting a series of lectures on Dolby Atmos. It’s been really insightful, all from making creative mix decisions to building an Atmos certified studio. When consumers start expecting Atmos in their games, there is no going back. #gameaudio

I'm slightly inconvenienced by the fact the functionality "hide empty staves" in music notation software hides measures that have only rests in them. A rest isn't nothing, it is in fact something. The measure isn't empty >:c

The Windows os search has regressed so much the past 20 years, it's now faster for me to just manually look for files. Just... why?? It used to work!

Update: this is what it looks like after I reflected on my life choices. #fmod #gameaudio #gamedev #indiedev

Gamers are pretty spoiled these days, and most don’t even know it. Why is it so hard to look past the shiny stuff and embrace substance? Depth over width, I say.

A friend of mine is making this really cool strategy Roguelite game. I met him at a convention last year, and I kid you not I occupied one of his battle stations for a solid 3 hours. Don't play it if you don't want to lose track of time lol

Really excited to finally be able to share this! My talk from Nerd Nite Melbourne on the narratives we create with video game music - a preshow for Extra Lives music 😁 Using Still Alive as an opener is definitely cheating, but this was also my first time singing in public! youtu.be/evWkwwHHqGY?...

I've had this #videogame concept for a long time that mixes the kingdom management features of FF Crystal Chronicles: My Life As King, Ni No Kuni 2, and Little King's Story. Each had their own fun quirks, but I also felt something was missing. I'll apply for funding for a prototype one day #gamedev

@otbgame.bsky.social hello! My partner and I have played your diorama game for about two hours and have a bunch of UX feedback if you want it. Your chat seems to be private, so I can’t send them to you. Reach out if you want it. Fun experience overall! Lost track of time for a bit.

If you live in the EU, consider signing the Stop Destroying Video Games petition. It will push game devs to leave their sold games (particularly Live Service) in a playable state when a project is shut down. Gamers deserve this. Share with friends! eci.ec.europa.eu/045/public/#... #videogames

Music Performance Rights Organizations must pivot to collect royalties from distributors and content platforms, not game creators. Creators aren’t publicly performing your work. Distributors are. Billing creators twice serves no purpose but to ensure you don’t get a 2nd call. #gameaudio

Any fans of the Final Fantasy games out there? Terra’s Theme is one of my favorites from the entire series. This was one of my first recorded orchestrations, performed by a group of friends. What do you think? #ffvi #gameaudio

Show me your progress! How it started vs. how it's going: #gamedev edition! How much has your concept, idea, or prototype developed? Bonus points if it has developed beyond all recognition in true game dev fashion ✨ PS. Melodica is NOT my main instrument 🙈

We’ve been expanding our sound library lately and released some pent-up aggression at the same time! #sounddesign #gameaudio #gamedev

I just booked a slot at Smash Room. No, it’s not what it sounds like. They give me and an assistant 31 objects to break with bats and golf clubs for 60 minutes! Mostly so I can record the sound of it… but it doesn’t hurt to also release some pent up aggression. They also let you break cars :o

Raff from Reignite was on To Put It Bluntly recently, talking about the game we're working on together and his experiences working on his first big title! #podcast #gamedev #gaming

Working on Skill SFX! Showcase 1. 🔥 👾 Sound on! 🎧 #indiegame #gamedev #metroidvania #Shyftrs #pcgaming

Crazy how everyone and their uncle is “award winning” these days. It has kinda lost meaning. I too won an award for my extraordinary sound work in high school.

Come check the amazing games that were made for #d2jam! Even if you haven't submitted a game, you can still play them for free and submit your highscores for bragging rights 😎 d2jam.com #gamedev #gamejam #indiedev

Is anyone working on something like Assassin’s Creed, but more educational? I need that in my life.

Did you miss me? 💜 Do ya wanna Ludum Dare on Friday? Yeah? Okay, let's do it! Sign-up and vote for the theme! ldjam.com Invitation Code: BlueSkiLD57 #LDJam #LD57

Is anyone here doing the #LD57 game jam? Looking for someone to collab with!

Michael Moore released SiCKO for free on YouTube recently. I recommend everyone to see it, and become familiar with the dangers of privatized, unregulated healthcare and predatory insurance practices, so they can vote against it at every opportunity.

Chrono Trigger is 30??? I bought it day one lol. One of my favorite lofi OSTs. Here’s a recent cover #gamecomposer #gameaudio #composer #gamedev #vgm #videogamemusic #chronotrigger #vgmcover #snes youtu.be/RWI3Uq0GZpk?...

Decided to try my hand at composing the song for the 1 level demo of Project Timbre—a free 3 level 3D Platformer. #indiegame #indiegamedev #gamedev #godot #vgm

New demo for Panta Rhei is out! With updated sounds and music by @poppysounds.bsky.social and myself! What an amazing team to be part of. Would you guess this will be their first release?

Crows are a-holes for many reasons, but lately it’s because they won’t shut up until I hit the record button on my field recorder.

You all clearly like menus, so here's some more... this time actually working and controlling the sounds. #indiedev #gamedev #ue5 #indiegamedev #indiegame #gameplay #hacknslash #platformer

Early mornin bird scouting #gameaudio #gamedev

Sound design is interesting for many reasons. I went to a hardware store and asked one of the employees if they had any chains, to which he asked “what for?” He looked slightly bewildered when I said I needed its sounds.
