I'm really excited for this one - quiet psychological horror on a narrow boat in Northern England is such a unique concept, and the game is simply beautiful and brimming with atmosphere. If you haven't checked out Mayfly yet I'd very much recommend trying out the demo and wishlisting!

A photo I took of a train driver on-route to Sapporo, Hokkaido. Japanese trains are fantastically aesthetic! This one was just a single carriage lugging its way through the snow

For those interested in having a peek behind the scenes at the composing process for an awesome Indie cosy game, I made a short video talking about work so far on the @ratmode.games Soggy Beans soundtrack @ratmode.gameshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HmIXJHXkvQU&ab_channel=FinnPaul

#3 - Reference tracks are always great. Ideally 3-4 pieces of music that the decision makers for the project all like. Double points if some of these are from a game in the same genre (though wildcards can always be fun too!)

#2 - If I can't play your game (very understandable) then it's great to have access to any videos/artwork (even if concept) to have available as I'm writing. I love to be as much in the atmosphere of your game as I can whilst I'm writing, and composers/visual artists can even inform one another

Tips to Game Devs for good communication with composers #1 (thanks @just-write-studios.itch.io for the prompt) - please let me play your game if possible (no matter how early doors). Understanding pace/vibe/art direction of game via actual gameplay is invaluable and means I can aim to compliment

One I took of a local bridge jumper in the Bosnian city of Mostar (not to be confused with mustard or lava planet mustafar)

Gamers of Bluesky, what kinds of behind the scenes composery things would you be interested in seeing? I'm having such a fun time working with @ratmode.games composing for their beautiful & cute as heck cozy game, Soggy Beans. I hope to document some of the process as I'm making the music

There was a supermoon last week. You can't be a photography guy and not take pics of supermoons

Here's a photo of a decrepit house I took about a year ago

Hi lovely new BlueSky followers - great to be here! I am some rando Scot who composes for Indie games, writes folk music and photographs things. I could type more but perhaps better to kick things off with a cat pic (because even tho better than x it is still the internet?) #photographs #composer

So many new folks. Hello! Here, enjoy this picnic with some fish. #cozygame #indiegame

Hey all! We're an indie studio in Aotearoa making 'Soggy Beans', a cozy, charming little side-idler where fish visit you. Think birdwatching, but with fish. 🐋 Spot fish (and other critters) 📸 Snap pics 🌻 Decorate ⛱️ And relax c: Oh and there's beans. 🫘 www.youtube.com/watch?v=4rzX...
