Life update: I’m beyond excited to announce that I’ve started Sickly Sweet Studios/LLC. This has been in the works for quite a while and I have a lot more exciting info that I can’t share just yet!

You had my curiosity… but now you have my attention.

I yearn to be tossed a bag of coins for a job well done m’lord

Yoooo Kirby is that FM synthesis

The theater kid to game developer pipeline is a thing that should be studied.

Introducing Impactizer! A Snap Heap preset that turns any audio signal into a stylized impact. Available now for free/donations if you’re feeling generous! natemaudio.gumroad.com/l/Impactizer

I think more fast food and take out places should utilize The Bucket the way KFC does. Imagine bringing home a bucket of tacos or burgers. Divine.

Don't doom scroll too much life is more than the phone and 5 billionaire weirdos

A smaller, non audio detail that I’m proud of that didn’t make the cut into the demo video: you can play the game with keyboard and mouse or controller, the on screen button prompts automatically update instantly

I'm very excited to share my first progress update on my UE5 game “Tourist Trap” a first person retro sci-fi wave shooter that I’ve been developing since June of 2024. youtu.be/MvihcVC9FkY?...
