So hey it’s been a while but… I finally did a thing again! It’s a new OST for game. Unfortunately I can't say what game it is until it's released! But I can say it's a 2D local multiplayer arcade game full of silly humour coming out in August! Bit of a rambly thread about it :)... 1/x

games have been huge success. thats why we're firing every one who makes games. also we are going to make it so players can no longer buy games

Glad Ed Zitron is getting more mainstream exposure. Recently, you see more economists ringing the alarms for AI companies because numbers don't add up. Zitron's been doing it for a lot longer on his podcast, asking the right questions while hardly any tech "journalist" was pushing back on AI CEO bs

Done! (Within my very limited means atm). I love Rebecca she’s a legend and we owe her so much. I’m no stranger to dealing with heavy diseases in the family. Any amount of support can make a difference.

If you see this, quote with a robot that isn’t from “Star Wars,” “Star Trek,” “Dr. Who,” or “Transformers.”

I hated Unity before it was cool

In Barcelona soaking up the sights, and of course sounds, of this wonderfully inspiring city 🇪🇸 Grabbing dinner with the super talented @romaingauthier.bsky.social 🦐 Any other #gameaudio Barcelona folks here on Bluesky? Let's connect 🔗 Nomad coffee legit ☕️

Game "journalists" who say $80 Mario Kart World is "33%more expensive" than when it was $60 probably never heard of inflation. The sad reality is that in a post-covid economy where you guys decided to elect a rapist bully mafioso Russian agent, $80 in 2025 is exactly the same as $60 in 2017.

Donkey Kong’s voice in the Bananza trailer sounds exactly as if it were made by anyone but Nintendo. Nothing special, nothing to give him a personality, the absolute most generic “big guy” voice they could find.

alright you wanna know how to support trans people? hire them. It's REALLY hard already for visibly trans people to get jobs, even before this shit. Support places that have trans people working front of house, and make sure owners know that's part of why you're there.

You know that rare and precious feeling when within the first few minutes you know this is gonna be a classic and one of the best game you’ve ever played? Having such a good time with #LoreleiAndTheLaserEyes

Just bought and fired up Lorelei And The Laser Eyes. I haven’t even started playing because I’m struck by this much personality and originality in the title screen music. I’m just sitting here, listening and appreciating all the different things it might be foreshadowing about the game.

The freedom to pilfer, steal, and plunder creativity the UK is formally going to give to AI companies is absolutely staggering. If you're in the UK, take this stand right now. This is a fence that you can't put back up if it passes you, and it will kill the UK creative sector.

Probably a long shot but any #gameaudio or #gamedev folks in Bali? I’m there for another 4 weeks

Newsletter: Microsoft is a cult driven by “The Growth Mindset,” a psuedo-science that informs recruitment, hiring, firing and promotion decisions, all while instructing employees and managers to generate performance reviews using hallucination-prone AI. www.wheresyoured.at/the-cult-of-microsoft/

This might be the best vgm concert I've ever seen! The live rendition of even the most peculiar bits of Breath of the Wild are incredible. Can't even pick a favourite bit! If you love this OST or just need a masterclass in orchestration: must watch! Also no conductor? www.youtube.com/watch?v=A5AV...

Hi Bluesky friends! I promise I won't do this all the time, but I put together a neat little demo reel of a few projects I've worked on! If any of you need melodically-rich, (potentially) award-winning music for your games, hit me up! www.johnrobertmatz.com #gamedev #gamemusic #gameaudio

I have a joke about game development. You won’t hear it though because we didn’t plan for audio until after the punchline.

The game industry is rough right now for a lot of people. It sucks. Business can be brutal. But I don't believe that means WE should be brutal. Times like these are all the more reason to be kind to one another. If we give up our humanity in order to survive, what is the point of survival?

So let’s test this new video feature! Here’s a bit of Heavy Heads from New Super Lucky’s Tale, with the melody muted. I was always proud of the arrangement (because it took me basically a year of iteration and rewrites to get there!) and thought it already told a “full” story without the melody🙂

Lol at Hollywood still writing stories where governments/police give a shit about people being in danger

Absolutely incredible email this afternoon.

Got this beauty in the mail today!

I liked Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny and I’m watching it for a second time. Is something wrong with me?

Just spent a few hours shopping, organising, then cooking for my mum then doing dishes and cleaning the kitchen. Decided to unwind with a game after that. After 20 minutes I realised I was unwinding playing Unpacking. Did a double take at a non existent camera and thought something’s wrong with me..

I’ve been working on this insane little puzzle called Danghost. Man, it’s such a great, energising feeling when the game starts to really come alive thanks to music and sound and having tinkered with implementation so things just “snap” right into place. Can’t wait to share!

The *thought* of having to do it is often much worse than actually doing it

Another highly underrated Hollywood composer IMHO, despite his success: David Newman.

Yay hello this is my first twee… Uh, so wait, what do we call these here?
