480 for a honey bun, what is Era coming to.

Give folks their flowers No, I mean right now. Go tell someone you loved their work right now. They're on social media just say it, it has never been easier "They know how much people love--" no they don't go say it right now to a composer or artist or game dev or writer or anyone AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH

Blanksword's Kickstarter is about to hit 50%! We're not at the halfway mark yet, so we still have good hopes to reach the finish line, but we need your help in doing so! Please consider backing us and spreading the word if you want to support a small marginalized team making a big game 🙏

🎧 I've begun my official uploads of my contributions to the Chrono Gear: Warden of Time OST to YouTube! Here's a playlist containing the 10 tracks I've uploaded so far. More coming soon! #ChronoGear #Hololive #holoindie #kronii www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

i want to keep making this game!! i want to animate and do pixel art and make more people fall in love with our funny characters!!!!!! gimme that opportunity it's gonna be my birthday in a month

Just giving this another shout-out because it is a VERY clever RPG from a very talented team and the demo is excellent. Try it out, and then consider throwing some cash down on the Kickstarter. I really want to see this grow into the biggest version of itself that it can be.

Just finished this last night! it's lovely and I absolutely recommend giving it a try.

i hope people see this recent microsoft news as proof of BDS' effectiveness; especially in regard to raising publicity and encouraging action from microsoft employees and it inspires more people to join in keeping the pressure on these unrepentantly imperialist tech companies

I haven’t seen a lot of cis people I usually see pushing for calls, etc. doing so about these rules provisions, which would devastate trans people nationally. Calls need to be made to all electeds and a firm stance taken ASAP, with ten times the fervor of the Kimmel/D+ event

I feel such a weight off my shoulders today. There's still some bugfixes left and sorting out the OST, but it's nice to stand back and soak in the warm reception to Chrono Gear, and know that our passion and dedication has mattered to so many people. Thank you all so much 💜

This is as good a time as any to remind you that our Kickstarter is ✨in its first week ✨ and in exchange for a preorder of the game and all sorts of neat rewards, you can help us bring our 3-years-in-the-work passion project across the finish line!

Anyway apologies for the Many OST posts lol, I'm very proud of my work on Chrono Gear and genuinely feel it's some of the best stuff I've ever written, both in composition and in production, in my 16+ years as a composer.

Okay, last Chrono Gear track!! My Decaying Heart came to be because Sabrina found that an old version of I Can't Reach You suited the very end of ToD unexpectedly well - so, I stole some of the vibes from that track and converted them into something that felt more "final level." youtu.be/YwXfxqg4N5Q

When I first wrote Violet Echoes, Tower of Darkness only had one BGM - I felt like that *may* not be enough, even though it's an excellent track, and ended up writing this version of the track that was designed to smoothly crossfade back and forth. I like it!! youtu.be/klBRdr-tvn0

Finally, the ToD tracks! I ended up writing three tracks for Tower of Darkness because, idk, that's sort of just how it ended up turning out. This silly bossa nova style joke track took me about 30 minutes to put together youtu.be/EYsmWNmkaWI

Aaand here's the biggest spoiler track of them all: Hand in Hand. I'm incredibly happy with this one because I've been influenced by Klonoa music for years but I've never really felt like I was able to truly carry that sound into my work - until I wrote this. youtu.be/vTtqwsdZlOI

Few more Chrono Gear tracks! Revocation has some of my favorite production in anything I've written, and some funky time signature swapping. youtu.be/Lt0x_jI82w4

Following up directly from Shattered Moon is its associated boss theme, I Can't Reach You. This one was a collaborative effort between myself and Bob (whose work makes up a very significant portion of CG's musical identity): www.youtube.com/watch?v=5yJV...

Next up: we're just jumping straight into major spoilers, just be aware of that. Shattered Moon, in which I lean the hardest I ever have into my smooth jazz inspirations: www.youtube.com/watch?v=C6pI...

I'm starting to upload my music from Chrono Gear to YouTube! Starting with the only track that doesn't come from a Major Spoiler part of the game, the thread shop theme: www.youtube.com/watch?v=FSIe...

Next several weeks' gonna be rough for me, my roommates and a friend. Me and my roommates are likely have to move out to a new apartment and my friend's hit with a nasty rent due bill before moving too + I'm out of meds for HRT and stomach and needing groceries. Please help us. ko-fi.com/arrietty

Made a review of that new Bloober game. It's a bit of a strange one, a highly specific kind of "alright" that you can talk about for approximately 16 minutes. also it low-key wants to be about communism youtu.be/7k1IWxJ5jdc

This is what I've spent the last year working on! I'm very proud of all the work I've done on this one, as a designer and as a composer. It should be super polished at this point, but you should play the game and tell me if the difficulty balance is busted :)

i really wish bluesky had the "schedule post" feature because i always remember to Post in the middle of the night and never during the actual day

I didn’t know about this, and if I didn’t know about this, then you probably didn’t either. This should be my entire feed and it’s not and that’s a problem  This sit in has now been going on over 48 hours and I am just hearing about it now 1/

Friends, if you've been trying your best to ignore the waves of absolute nonsense coming from the US gov't, well... I don't blame you. But for con-goers this weekend or MC Atlanta this month, it is crucial to be aware how prevalent COVID will be due to lowered access to the vaccine. MASK UP.

Fun detail you may or may not have noticed from Unearth's demo - certain sounds will exhibit the Doppler effect as their parent object moves toward and away from the player! I implemented this following a generalized guide made by cool YouTuber Scruffy

Just one week left until Chrono Gear: Warden of Time releases! ⏳ We're excited beyond words, and we will be ready! #hololive #holoindie #ChronoGear #kronillust

Four word horror story for game developers: "Major bug, cannot reproduce"

nice writeup on what is a good contender for the easiest to recommend rpg ever made

They're actively targeting creators who call in & banning them, making it even more important to call if you're a customer & not a creator Tell them they shouldn't be dictating how you get to spend the money you put your blood, sweat, and tears into earning

youtu.be/IO3EEKk3Bcs NEW VIDEO: Cursed Japan Only PS1 Fighting Games I have plumbed the depths of the ps1 library and returned with some of the biggest stinkers in virtual combat I could muster. Please enjoy some truly fascinating attempts to hop on the fighting game craze of the 90s.

Time to unveil our last Kickstarter Guest, and it's none other than @thorhighheels.bsky.social rounding up our roster of Guest Composers! In addition to being a really unique and interesting video essayist, Thor has worked on some truly special OSTs like Umurangi and PRODUCER 2021 👀

There's a good tactic to keep them on the phone longer in here: Start by saying you're concerned about a statement that the processor has put out, and then read the entire statement without stopping. This will cause confusion and awkwardness if they just repeat it back to you, which they likely will

will's an all-timer whose sharp mind and observational skills have made him invaluable on code-debugging and QA on many games i've worked on. all those qualities and more (he's also an *evil* puzzle designer) shine bright in his personal work. excited to play this one - you should dig into it, too!

sdsdfsdf left a Very Silly bug in Unearth's demo but it's fixed now! apologies (and appreciation) to anyone who's already downloaded it, please give it a quick re-download, your save data should be intact!

Soooooo a lot has happened recently and *basically* I'm going to restart Unearth's development in Godot, but in the meantime here's a demo of the game's first area from the original GameMaker version that you can try! More info on the demo's itch.io page. will-bowerman.itch.io/unearth-vola...

video games are starting to happen again

It's almost time! After only two years of development, Chrono Gear is just about ready to be released. I fully believe in this game, and I absolutely recommend you check it out if you have any interest in action platformers at all. Heck, it's got some of my favorite music I've ever written, too.

It's official! Chrono Gear is releasing on September 12! Thank you everyone for your support and patience, we're very excited to share our adventure with you! 💙⏳ Check us out on Steam! ⬇️ store.steampowered.com/app/3081840/...

It might be good to include these talking points when you call Visa/Mastercard. "So you support Roblox, a website/app known to endanger children, but you refuse to support legal adult content? What kind of message are you sending to customers?"

opening your new game announcement with this is so fucking funny and real
