IVOR-nominated and award winning composer (Omno, Falconeer series, Before We Leave etc). Passionate about elevating indie game productions and helping small dev teams to success.
Crazy to think OMNO soundtrack released 5 years ago today! I'm still so grateful to @studioinkyfox.bsky.social for the chance he took with me, the friendship that has come from it, the IVOR-nomination and work that has followed on, and of course every single person who has listened to it!
Awesome to see Hannes announcing his next snowboarding game, and pleased that I’ve been able to support him with it. The track partially used in the trailer was a fun afternoon’s work :)
byteparrot (Carveout, Slopecrashers)@byteparrot.bsky.social · 2w agoAnnouncing my new futuristic arcade snowboarding game that takes place in space! - inspired by SSX, with tricks, combos & boost - gravity bending tracks with lots of shortcuts - equippable gadgets like grappling hooks It's called CarveOut 2160, and you can wishlist it on steam! #gaming #indiegames

You know you're deep in game audio mode at night when you think you hear the loop point of your bedroom fan.
@mrrecords.bsky.social had an absolute blast making this trailer for Mr Records. My thanks to @wiredproductions.com and the awesome devs for trusting me with it. I’ve had a sneak peak at the full soundtrack. It’s awesome! youtu.be/QvNpWfl6KJo?...

The cutscenes in spiderman 2 are so long I forget how to play 🤣 old gamer indicator!
Why did I wait so long to start playing spiderman 2?! What an opening act…
Q: Am I allowed to use an organ for a game set in space without everyone thinking I must have got the idea from Interstellar? I arrived at the option from a completely different direction...

It’s worth a play, solo or co-op!

Game Developer@gamedeveloper.bsky.social · 6mo agoIndie publisher Pixel Doors launches with a 'developer-first' mindset
A great first impression of the @TwinsOfOlus demo from NAG: "Art style and music are spot-on...strong musical score does a lot of the heavy lifting.... ...adds atmosphere without overwhelming the experience, grounding the world emotionally while letting combat and exploration shine." Cheers!
First Impressions: Twins of Olus < NAG
A hands-on look at the Twins of Olus demo, gorgeous art, clever dual-character combat, and a world that’s a joy to explore. Promising stuff.

Delighted to be a part of this pretty and unique project: The Demo for Twins Of Olus is out now! Go check it out! Really enjoyed creating that unique blend of epic, mysterious, rockyish adventure and fun, and looking forward to writing much more in the future :)
Josh Mak@joshrmak.bsky.social · 6mo agoWE RELEASED A DEMO TODAY! store.steampowered.com/app/4228270/... I'm so incredibly excited to have something publicly playable.

A quick highlight reel showing off the bold and colourful stylized art in Twins of Olus #indiegame #indiedev
Tried to get back into Chivalry 2 this evening. I love the game for multiple reasons, but it is absolute carnage for an aging ‘noob’.
Delighted to be working on this with this splendid little team. :)
Josh Mak@joshrmak.bsky.social · 7mo agoBuzzer beater of 2025 for actually releasing something from our game Twins of Olus! If it looks at all interesting to you please give it a try, we would greatly appreciate any feedback 🙏 #gamedev #indiedev #indiegames
Happy New Year everyone, and to all the devs I know, may 2026 be a great year for you and your projects! If you need some music, I have some availability, so hit me up and let’s chat. My IVOR-nominated self is here to help ;-)
I'm grateful to the 55k streams of my music on spotify this year. It's not even really a drop in the ocean, but if it brought enjoyment or peace 55k times to people, then Im happy with that :)... and the week's worth of food shopping that it earnt me.
