Close enough #pico8

Well, I've been affected by the Bungie layoffs, and I guess I'm now looking for work. I'm a senior narrative designer on Destiny 2. I'm going to thread a little list of stuff I've done on the game; normally I go out of my way to avoid attention, but today I'd appreciate reposts.

english isn't for cowards. if you're not saying 'torpify,' that's a skill issue. there's no Académie Française telling you what to do. if you try to type 'pallific' and freak out when you see a little red underline, maybe you're not ready to roll with the big dogs.

Just finished this redesign of a clip from Subnautica 2 for a challenge from Aftertouch Audio youtu.be/2apOHZLP3ck?... it was a fun one! #sounddesign #videogamesounds

Posting a 1964 decree from CA civil engineers on urban planning: "Autos enable housewives to hop in the car and drive to the market instead of trudging a couple blocks to the corner store... allowing for longer city blocks and wider streets." And you wonder how we got here.

a windy day. #pico8 #chiptune

MIYAZAKI: You finish that Evergrace II soundtrack? HOSHINO: Sure thing, boss. Real experimental Kronos Quartet plays Philip Glass noise shit, just like you asked. MIYAZAKI: Excellent. I think our players will enjoy it. HOSHINO: Thanks, boss!

We lost one of the great ones today. RIP to the saxophone colossus, Sonny Rollins. #SonnyRollins #Jazz #Musicsky

Bossa nova vibes this time

Going for some funk vibes #chiptune #nanoloop

Feel like I'm just scratching the surface of what you can do with #nanoloop. So cool! #chiptune #videogamemusic #vgm

What an evil piece of shit. I cannot wait to take over.

"Walkman" fun little 2D platformer I wrote the music for as a part of the @igda.org and @unlikelycollaborators.com Game Jam. Check it out on itch! #indiedev #indiegame #indiegames #composer #vgm #musician #gamedev

Short #chiptune ...tune? youtube.com/shorts/5_w_T... #gameboy #vgm #lsdj

Bach two part invention no.1 in #lsdj lol #8bit #chiptune #jsbach youtube.com/shorts/FfSg3...

More #chiptune with #lsdj! It's kind of addicting. Wanted to try something in an odd meter #vgm #videogamemusic #videogameaudio youtube.com/shorts/4le5i...

Downloaded #lsdj and made my first song with a #tracker. Takes some getting used to, but they clearly put a lot of work into making it user friendly. Lots of fun! youtube.com/shorts/OtwIh... #vgm #videogamemusic

Have been replaying Final Fantasy IX and decided to finally transcribe this short musical phrase that plays whenever the player rests. In the game each chord sustains into the other, and I really like the sound of the E natural over the Db triad. #finalfantasy #vgm #gamemusic youtu.be/85LLjiWDDYQ

So many bubbles

GapTuner (real-time pitch detection Wwise plugin) v1.1.0 is out! Adds game-object-level RTPC support + optional zeroing out unpitched input. Give it a whirl at github.com/usdivad/GapT... Also here's a demo using pitch from GapTuner + volume from Wwise Meter to drive a flute player animation 🦴

LA fires are a good reminder that the only difference between me and any refugee is luck.

Really pleased with how our @github.com gameoff jam entry came out! I contributed programming, sound design and audio implementation. I programmed the menus and a couple of dynamic audio systems. You can play it here: pnaser74.itch.io/song-of-decay ! #indiegames #gamejam #githubgameoff #sounddesign

Noisevember Day 30 - Finale I went with a fanfare as it felt appropriate. This was so much fun and I learned a lot over the course of the month! #sounddesign #indiegames #gameaudio #videogamemusic

Noisevember Day 29 - Q "Bouncy" patch on @kilohearts.com phaseplant. It’s just a sawtooth wave and a sample of a jawharp each with a modulated filter with a high “Q” setting. The upper register sounds like character dialogue in the style of animal crossing. #sounddesign #gameaudio #gamesounddesign

Noisevember Day 28 - ?! This instantly made me think of the iconic alert sound from metal gear, so I decided to try to recreate it, which turned out to be way tougher than I thought. including the original for comparison. #sounddesign #videogamesounddesign #videogameaudio

Noisevember Day 27 - Stinger I guess really only the second half of this is the stinger, but liked both chords too much to choose #sounddesign #videogamemusic

Our next meetup (and last meetup of the year) will be on Saturday, December 14th from 2-6pm at Arts District Brewing Co! Come unwind with us as it's been quite a year 😵

Noisevember Day 25 - Fractal Fractal video from Wikimedia Commons Made by playing a couple triads and sending them into 2 separate instances of Soundtoys' crystallizer plus one phaseplant patch with 3 layers of delay and pitch modulation. #sounddesign #ambientmusic youtu.be/qiiEfcOkwSY

Noisevember Day 24 - Skeumorphic Tricky one today. Made a digital meditation bell from a recording of the bowl from a stand mixer, with a sine wave doubling upper overtones. #sounddesign #noisevember

Noisevember Day 23 - Wildlife Recently got phase plant so thought I’d try designing a tiger sound from some noise generators. Might sound a little more like a thunderstorm, but oh well 😅 So much you can do with the modulators! #sounddesign @kilohearts.com #indiegames

Noisevember Day 22 - Silky Not sure how silky this is, but this track is what I came up with after trying to design a "silky" patch. All (3) tracks come from chipsynth 64 and in the video you can see how you can switch between frames to create a fun bassline #videogamemusic #indiegames #chiptunes

Noisevember Day 21 - Dissolve I’ve named my friend’s dialogue character “lil guy.” Poor lil guy got dropped into a vat of acid! Note: no actual lil guys were harmed in the making of this sound #sounddesign #foley #videogameaudio #indiegames

Noisevember Day 20 - Deja Vu Went for a full on dream sequence this time (because seeing deja vu as a prompt again gave me semi-actual deja vu!) Still digging into what chipsynth 64 can do with transposition and wave shape automation inside the plug in. #sounddesign #videogamemusic #indiegames

Noisevember Day 19 - Plant Based Had fun recording myself crushing a jalapeno, kale and grapes, but wanted to avoid the obvious gore, so I turned the sounds into a futuristic computer like one in Chrono Trigger’s future. Included unprocessed sound for fun/comparison #sounddesign #indiegames

Noisevember Day 18 - Hairy This was a tricky one for me! I interpreted hair to be noise (sort of the sound hair makes when it moves?) I also had an instructor in college who called dissonant chords “hairy”, so I threw in some dissonance at the end. #noisevember #chiptune
