If you like the Golden Idol games and/or rat themed jazz, check out this fun side project I contributed music to for this season's @tinymassgames.bsky.social #gameaudio #indiedev

Hello #gameaudio friends! If you're in the indie game music realm and are wondering about negotiating, contracts and all that other fun stuff we don't really talk about, check out this (just released!) interview I did for the Video Game Composer Podcast open.spotify.com/episode/3CgR...

Evening Star is looking to add a new Level Designer to the team! While not a requirement, we are prioritizing prior experience on 3D Platforming and/or 3D Action games. We are aiming to start the role in November. Find out more on our website: eveningstar.studio/careers/leve...

Not sure if I'm more excited about DK or this rare correct usage of the word crescendo

Was in NYC for about 5 minutes but they were very good minutes! G4C was wonderful and @gumbonyc.bsky.social threw one of the coolest events I've been to UNDER THE BRIDGE??

There's a reason the summer community BBQ is one of our favorite events of the year! So great to see our amazing community come out and make an already sunny and beautiful day even better. #gamedev #indiedev

when the dev just wanted some chill BGM but you've transcribed one billion charlie parker solos

In just over an hour I'll be hosting an interview with @davidhousden.bsky.social at #AirCon25! We'll be deep diving into the creative process, musical storytelling, recording live players and more. You can tune in for free right here: www.airwiggles.com/c/live-event... #gameaudio #gamedev

The game industry is a bit of a mess right now and it’s hitting all of us, but when things get bad, they’re often toughest on marginalized folk. So. @aiviwave.com and I are launching the Rising Star Patronage Project to support game composers & make great music! www.gofundme.com/f/video-game...

🤘

Five years ago I went to my first PAX not knowing anyone and with no clue how to start connecting with people in the industry. This year could not have felt like more of a full circle moment.

I said what I said.

@pizzapranks.bsky.social's booth is probably the coolest thing I've seen at PAX

It's a beautiful last day of PAX! If you're sticking around a bit, please explore our beautiful city. I promise you there's nowhere to go but up from the Seaport.

Okay we messed up and forgot to take a crowd selfie but you all HAVE to believe me that @maclaine.bsky.social and I had a packed theater today. Thank you so much to everyone who came to our talk!!

Composers AND non-composers, if you're at PAX, come hear about how interactive music is made!

Gonna be doing a panel among some fine folks at Pax East talking about how we started our careers in game audio! @noabeazley.bsky.social @chelwongaudio.bsky.social and Aizhou Liu!

We’re one week away from Boston Gamedev Week, so we thought we’d make a thread to talk about everything we’ll have going on! Okay here we go 🧵 #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev

Very much enjoying today's cycle of soaking up the sun like a lizard, then retreating to my composition cave to work fueled by the stored heat

Audio folks coming to PAX, come hang with us!

Damn rain again bummer oh no

A dev I'm working with told me he recently got a flood of DMs from composers negging him about the soundtrack and offering to rewrite it for next to nothing. They then stopped abruptly. Seems like some "business expert" was telling folks to do this as job advice.

This one's been in the works for a long time and we're so excited to see it coming together! If you're in Boston for PAX East week and looking for dev-facing events to attend, we've got you covered! Signal boosts greatly appreciated.

Hey bsky! We're Boston Game Dev, a community nonprofit supporting the local game development scene. We help groups big and small run meetups, jams, demo nights, lectures and more. Watch this space for more news about what we have coming up! #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev

Flying out from GDC and feeling so genuinely inspired and grateful for the people that make up this industry. Thanks to everyone I met for reminding me why I love this so much

The first day of our Diversity in Game Audio roundtable at GDC is today from 3:30pm - 4:30pm in Room 312 in South Hall - if you’re here this Wednesday, come join us! featuring: @chasebethea.bsky.social + @noabeazley.bsky.social + @musikatelyn.bsky.social

Hey GDC! I'm Noa and this is #WhatAGameDevLooksLike. I'm a composer currently working on Re:Awaken and Phosfi, a Boston gamedev community organizer and Professor of Game Audio at Berklee. This is my fourth GDC and my second time speaking!

Hello! I'll be at GDC! Yes I own other shirts! Come say hi!

Had such a fun time showing this #gameaudio system on @sergioronchetti.bsky.social's series while being a giant nerd about adaptive music and big band AND that one string quartet that always plays over fancy dinner party scenes and is definitely not an easter egg in this track. *takes breath* AND

Both talks accepted to PAX East! It's going to be a busy and very fun week. Totally unrelated, if you'll be there this year, there are lots of fun event announcements coming from the Boston gamedev community 👀

Diversity in Game Audio updates! While one of our original panelists will unfortunately not be able to join us, we're thrilled to welcome Nadia to our panel!! In case you missed it, our Diversity in Game Audio panel has expanded to include 6 amazing speakers across 3 days 🧵

Hey everyone! For this month’s virtual meetup (Feb 25th, 7PM EST) our very own @caiojmini.bsky.social will be showcasing how he designed and implemented the car engine audio systems for the upcoming game Apex Rush in UE5 and #MetaSounds. #gameaudio #sounddesign #ue5 www.meetup.com/bostongamede...

It is time. Who am I seeing at GDC?? (YES this gif of my cat is relevant, NO I will not elaborate)

If I ever abruptly quit game audio know it was the cable management

Enamored with our new Steam art by @trixirita.bsky.social

Helping start the Boston Game Dev nonprofit felt like the final evolution of community organizing, and it's one of the most fulfilling things I got to do in 2024. There's a lot I feel I can't control going into 2025, so I'll focus on what I can - continuing to show up for my students and community.

Saw it with my own eyes and I still can't believe Brussels sprouts grow like this

I’ve had enough of woke ugly men in our games, so I’ve improved Geralt

Reaper users are the people who own an air fryer of the audio world

@bostonfig.bsky.social is a go and I’m there with @noabeazley.bsky.social repping @gameaudioboston.bsky.social so be sure to stop by our humble booth if you’re coming 👾

In the mossy chasm you're safe from the colossal monsters, but what lurks beneath? #screenshotsaturday #gameaudio #gamedev #indiegame

Sometimes he sits like this

I don't know who needs to hear this but you can just like never wear jeans again

When people ask why I'm a composer I just show them my first and only Unity game
