The yearly report of the Game Audio Survey is out!! www.gamesoundcon.com/post/gamesou...

I did not know about DSP56300 Emulation, which sounds a tad boring but... same site hosts free Access Virus A/B/C/Ti/TI Snow, Walfdorf MicroQ, Microwave 2/XT synths to be used with their DSP emulator!!! #synth dsp56300.wordpress.com/vavra/

Don't sleep on this soundtrack!! open.spotify.com/album/5sN0q7...

Some really cool audio clips on here--> publicdomainreview.org/collections/...

PaperKlay released a week ago, there is still a launch discount for 7 more hours. I have improved on the game thanks to your feedback, thank you for being patient with me this week. I think I can relax a bit more now. If you wanna grab it store.steampowered.com/app/1350720/...

A pilgrimage awaits. Beach terraces carved by waves— coral reef is all that remains. #Ratvader #ultros

I've been completely locked into this project. I can sit down all day and do this. Something so satisfying about discovering patterns, neatly organizing them, and sharing it.

Back from @amazefest.bsky.social What a ride… kind souls, plural games, overstimulation deluxe. This is "Tröstevisa" by Benny Andersson. Can’t say the translation works too well, but I guess it’d be something along the lines of “a tune for comfort.”

Biophobia is out now on Steam. An experimental art game that intertwines dissection and gardening mechanics to explore themes of trauma, death and agency. Play it here: store.steampowered.com/app/3702510/...

The Rat has landed in Berlin. Exited for #Amaze!

Since our prototype PARADE got an Honorable Mention, @kjellhaften.bsky.social and I are heading to @amazefest.bsky.social. / Berlin next week! Ping me if you’re going or want to meet up! 👋 A Game? A Semi-Live Concert? A Dance Experience? #AMAZE2025

Ultros by Hadoque (SE)

i have a bunch of promo codes for holedown on android that are about to expire. no sense in sitting on those! tell me why you need one and i'll hook you up.

Originally considered the Menu song for Ultros, this was one of the first songs made for the game. Together with "Ouji Saint" it pretty much set the tone for everything that came after. #Ultros #GameSoundtrack

"Are games stuck in an inspiration loop?" Heading to #NordicGame this year. Anyone going?

Back in the studio 1.. Windy in here..

This song was supposed to be the main area song of Geggamoja Refinery. But I decided to go down another path.. Adrian Åsling Sellius on Bass Klarinett and Saxophone! I recorded the Guitar at 04.00 in the morning on the island of Bohusmalmön. Vibes came! #Ultros

"Sculpting in Time" by Andrey Tarkovsky. You can easily replace 'Cinema' with 'Game Development.' The problems Andrey had with cinema are the same ones I see in the game industry today. One of the best books on art I’ve read—if not the best. Go borrow it from your library!

When we talk about video game preservation, we don't just mean access to games. We mean preservation of the stories behind game's development and the stories, art, influences, and impact from those that made them. We hope we achieve this with our Design Works books! 🙏
