Solo developing a fully musical rail shooter game, Nova Sonata, and looking to connect with fellow devs Now live on Steam! https://store.steampowered.com/app/4874550/Nova_Sonata/
Currently building a new forest canopy level for Nova Sonata, pretty excited with how it’s turning out 🌴 #screenshotsaturday #indiedev #gamedev
Star Fox but make it rock #wishlistwednesday #indiedev #gamedev #starfox
Fresh new trailer for #TrailerTuesday! My game lets you… ◦ Create music through gameplay ◦ Interact with musical alien worlds, each one a different genre ◦ Adapt to new on-rails gameplay (musical Time Crisis anyone??) #gamedev #indiedev #gamedesign #indiegamedevs
Big moment, my fully musical rail shooter (or “on rails composer” as I call it) officially has a Steam page! Wishlists mean a ton #gamedev #indiedev #gamedesign #indiegamedevs #indiegame #starfox
Nova Sonata on Steam
An on-rails musical shooter where the world is your instrument. Every shot, every movement, every enemy is a note in a soundtrack you're composing as you play.

What's on the flipside of the game dev marketing rulebook? Some writing about trying to make promotion feel more authentic to me 📚 andything.substack.com/p/whats-on-t... #gamedev #indiedev #gamedesign #indiegamedevs
A quick riff on the 5 string stereo guitar/bass hybrid I built. So much fun splitting the signal across different amps #guitar #guitarist #bass #musician #guitarbuilding
Can music games do more than just test your timing? Jammed on this idea a bit and dove into how I’m trying to do something different with my musical game. First Substack post! Check it out 🎸 #gamedev #indiedev #music #gamedesign
Why are music games only about rhythm?
Can video games about music do more than test your timing?

Oh wow now THIS was a completely unexpected surprise in my inbox, thanks for the shoutout @plante.bsky.social! #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame
I was SO close to giving up on fixing a bug that broke the game for a playtester. I checked so much code before discovering it was an issue with the audio on the player’s attack Runs and sounds better than ever now! andything.itch.io/nova-sonata #gamedev #indiedev #solodev #starfox
Thanks so much for the feature! 👽🙏

It was SUCH a challenge getting everything in my rail shooter game to be musical and aligned. But it feels amazing now that it’s all coming together Play a web build free! andything.itch.io/nova-sonata #indiedev #solodev #starfox #indiegames #indiegame #gaming #indiemusic
@itch.io just dropped a musical rail shooter prototype! Could satisfy people looking for Star Fox action after today’s news, but like if Star Fox was rockin andything.itch.io/nova-sonata
Dang, Nintendo announces a Star Fox remaster the exact day I release my musical rail shooter prototype?? No idea how to leverage this news but it’s interesting andything.itch.io/nova-sonata #indiedev #solodev
