I'm working on a game where you play as the Virtual Referee! #gamedev #indiegame

FIRE WATCHERS still has 9 days in its Kickstarter campaign!! I wrote the music for this little short with the cast 😄

I'm going to have the pleasure of composing the soundtrack to this lovely coming-of-age indie animated film, FIRE WATCHERS. Please take a moment to check out its Kickstarter campaign!

I'm getting a chance to work with the lovely people at ChickenCOOP on a very fun project. Please check them out!! Makes me proud to work with them that they make this stance known 😄

I've uploaded my keynote presentation at @ggxorg.bsky.social, complete with subtitles! I want to thank the wonderful staff and all the attendees at GGX one more time for inviting me for my first in-person event as Scruffy!! youtu.be/qUxqgZKoLpE

A double-feature for Stomp & the Sword of Miracles today, as its Kickstarter is almost done! The Thunderkin is a wannabe supervillain who at least passed the milestone of harnessing lightning powers. Here's a taste of the music that'll play when you confront him in the game! youtu.be/TUZlN9Hx6ag

Here's another track I composed for Stomp & the Sword of Miracles, as its Kickstarter campaign continues! The Hooligrin is a creepy henchman and #1 follower of the Duskman who dogs Stomp's adventures. This is a taste of the music that'll play when you confront him in the game! youtu.be/tEzpFMArdA0

Here's another track I composed for Stomp & the Sword of Miracles, as its Kickstarter campaign continues! This is Emberdeep, a cavern lined with lava lakes and flows, amid other, deeper challenges. In this video I demonstrate adaptive layers of the tune that can fade in and out! youtu.be/qpnJwR7pGi0

Here's another track I composed for Stomp & the Sword of Miracles, as its Kickstarter campaign continues! This is the Brasswood, an autumnal forest littered with strange metal constructions. In this video I demonstrate adaptive layers of the tune that can fade in and out! youtu.be/kBRKA_bTFa0

Stomp & the Sword of Miracles is now live with a Kickstarter campaign, so over the next few weeks I'll be sharing more of the music that I've written for the game so far! Here's the theme for the Duskman, a chaotic troublemaker of a trickster deity and the main antagonist! youtu.be/8I81zbMHTXI?...

I just backed Stomp & the Sword of Miracles! www.kickstarter.com/projects/bee... Shoutout to @brodnork.bsky.social for making the game and @scruffymusic.bsky.social for doing the music!

I am going to be the lead keynote speaker at Georgia Game Development Expo! I'm very excited to participate and inspire indie/student devs. The expo be held November 15 at the Georgia Tech Exhibition Hall in Atlanta, Georgia. You'll find more information on their website! www.ggdevexpo.org

A new What I Love video! Heavy spoiler warning: it's all about the endgame of Outer Wilds, and the orchestration/sound design decisions that guide the player through its final sequence. Though I don't talk about the DLC (yet), so if you haven't played through that, no worries! youtu.be/lheIxAMDr0U

Feast your eyes on a new What I Love video, warping into the universe tomorrow!

✨ ANNOUNCE ✨ TAC+ vol. 3 officially out!! You can grab it now on Bandcamp~ quarkimo.bandcamp.com/album/tac-vo...

A new arrangement! I've turned And Now For Today's Sponsors from Deltarune Chapter 3 into a bombastic big band medley, straight out of a game show from the 90s or early 2000s. I hope to have done justice to Tenna and his showmanship! youtu.be/q7r4kM_-kxc

The game crashed at this point, so I think it's safe to say this is as far as I'm ever getting in #9kings (the normal maximum is Year 99😂)

My friend @oaf.bsky.social and I worked together on a game for the 2025 GMTK Game Jam! You play as a little salmon eating prey to grow and then avoiding obstacles to swim upstream in a loop of life cycles! It was super fun to make and we hope you enjoy it 😄 #gmtk wuvableoaf.itch.io/salmon-gmtk

I forgot to enable Clip Studio Paint's timelapse feature when I painted Warhammer Bowser for the latest arrangement's thumbnail, so instead, I put together a little video of each layer being added in roughly the order I painted them!

And last but not least is the most unexpected pairing: Bowser's Castle theme from Mario Kart: Double Dash!!, arranged in Jesper Kyd's style from Warhammer 40,000: Darktide! youtu.be/bhvDfgITbg0?...

Next is Cynthia's theme from Pokémon Diamond/Pearl, arranged as though it's a Monster Hunter battle! youtu.be/de8-80x6eKc?...

It's a triple attack of new music arrangements! The theme is boss music in the style of a different game... but I ended up arranging *all* the options in the Patreon poll! First up is the Emperor Bulblax battle from Pikmin, in the style of a boss from Breath of the Wild! youtu.be/kxNIe5Z631I?...

Some Deltarune doodles... turns out Schoolhouse Rock's style works very nicely on them

Anddd my website is back online! DNS issues worked out and back under my control. All good now!

Pikmin Hai Yorokonde

I don't often plug my Patreon, but I'm especially excited for my next arrangement and patrons currently get to vote on it! The theme is "cross-bosses:" iconic themes from climactic fights in their respective games, but done in the style of a different game soundtrack! www.patreon.com/posts/arrang...

A new arrrangement! Classic track from the Game Boy edition of Pokémon Trading Card Game, with a little more bass clarinet! youtu.be/n-YvPg0WqH4?...

For the beginning of April, I have a new, special episode of my Pikmin 4 playthrough to show you! I take on another challenge that Captain Olimar offers, one that's very different from the rest of the game! youtu.be/J6om1et_9nI?...

Hello everyone! And happy trans day of visibility! May you be seen and appreciated even after today for who you are and what you create. 💜

The team that created Frogsong is working on a new adventure called Stomp and the Sword of Miracles, about a plucky hero whose island is caught in a feud between two gods! And I'm going to be writing the game's soundtrack, so I wanted to share a taste of the music so far! youtu.be/_rqx8PkxekU?...

Happy new year everyone! My friend Stijn produced this rad music video as a nice uplifting kickoff to the new year, and I'd like to spread it around! 😄

My last upload of the year: my patrons voted for me to arrange the Advanced Step theme from Wii Fit, and it was a blast, both to perform and to animate!! And special thanks to @wafflesmogumogu.bsky.social for performing Samplemodeling's The Trumpet in the outro! youtu.be/rHNZK-WhvBw?...

A new arrangement, and my last upload of 2024, will be coming tomorrow! It was a blast to work on and I'm looking very forward to sharing it 😄

I have one more Outer Wilds fan art to share, the toughest thing I've ever painted... (spoilers for a late-game character!) The painting of Solanum I used in the new video comes from my painting of her with Rauru from Tears of the Kingdom, two characters with a lot coincidentally in common!

A new What I Love video! Join me in exploring Outer Wilds's unique sci-fi soundtrack that encodes the game's alien cultures into history! Spoiler warning: no endgame content discussed, but I still highly recommend you play or watch through Outer Wilds before watching this! youtu.be/ZWc5sm7pFMM?...

// Outer Wilds: Echoes of the Eye minor area spoilers More Outer Wilds fan art I've made, this one was particularly fun to paint 😄 "Mario, I believe we've strayed well outside Isle Delfino..."

Just to keep you in the loop, the new What I Love video is complete and will launch tomorrow!

An older piece of Outer Wilds fan art... Tektite finds something peculiar has taken root on Timber Hearth.

You guessed it: my next What I Love video is going to be about Outer Wilds, a game I treasure and have been planning to talk about for a while. All plans proceeding accordingly, the video will be ready this week! Leading up to that, this week I'll be sharing some past Outer Wilds fan art I've made!

I tried this out: quite a fun way to think about my favorite pieces of Super Mario music! 😄 I've somewhat tired myself out on the Mario Kart 8 soundtrack, but I still think it hit the strongest of any Mario soundtrack for me. They got such a tight band, sounds like it was a blast to perform in it.

Working on the next What I Love video... Wonder what this model could be for...

(Audio on!) The Blender plugin Animation Nodes can read MIDI, meaning I can build little 3D machines that perform music entirely with nodes! This one is a milestone because it "predicts" how quickly to move by preemptively comparing the start times and MIDI numbers of two successive notes.

Hello everyone! It's nice to be here on Bluesky. I'm going to start posting video announcements and sharing art projects here!
