I'll be at Brilliant Indie Treasures tomorrow! I'm not showcasing Beat Bots this time, though Showrunners will be there which I did sound design for. Maybe I'll actually have time to play some games this time 😍

We beat Big Walk to 100% today! Big recommend! Genuinely an exceptionally awesome and unique game

Here's one of my favourite bugs from earlier in Beat Bots' development. I call this one "The Particle Accelerator"

Still the absolute funniest "trailer remix" ever made -- as well as one of the very first of its kind, debuting in 2005 Every shot is perfectly chosen God I could watch this all day

I'll add: rates flexible for a smaller team / nice to work with / use a contract / esp if you offer some % revenue share to offset lower rate / well-scoped / allow me to sell the soundtrack / don't utilize AI/LLM in the project etc as long as me + my time are respected tbh ghoulnoise.com/cv/

Just learned that Happy Wheels is on Steam and got hit with a wave of nostalgia 😍 That was the go-to game to secretly play in IT lessons. Good times

Got an Instagram ad where a British guy says "I'm 26 years old and have never tried pizza before". I'm doubtful to say the least 🧐 Reminds of when there was a trend of reaction channels claiming to have never heard Bohemian Rhapsody before

How did we implement the ambiences for Big Walk? @nicholaszhangaudio.bsky.social manually drew poly lines for all the different biomes and rivers, and built tools to detect shorelines and scatter positions. Most of it is done before the game even runs, and then we just blend between stored values!

This is why @emaudible.bsky.social recorded the ambiences using a quad setup! (We went with the standard and then got rid of one of the channels in the edit). She built this contraption using antennas so that it would be portable and easy to hike around with! #BigWalk #gamedev #gameaudio #indiegame

opinions on showing games at events (mostly a memo to myself for the next time i have to do it)

I really REALLY need game devs, and especially those who are in higher up positions, indie or otherwise, to clue into the fact that crunching away for weeks or months of a time is neither normal nor something you should wear as a badge of honour.

Watching the new series of The Gentlemen - I think I'd find Ray Winstone's character more threatening if I was able to avoid associating east London accents with McDonald's adverts

I'm back to working on more music for Beat Bots now that the demo is out! 🔊

throng.cee.wtf i've invented a new way to browse bluesky

Hey hey! The demo for Beat Bots is now available on Steam! Check it out here: store.steampowered.com/app/4438940/...

Here's a bit of a modular jam based on the theme from Big Walk. May have turned out a little uncanny! #bigwalk

Gamescom AI Slop Thread. Every game from the Gamescom Opening Ceremonies that was actually AI Slop so you don't have to care about it.

Great indie games are getting lost in the noise. Steam has thousands of titles competing for attention. GDL Games is building a curated home for UK indie games. Got a playable demo or released game? Get it listed. : buff.ly/IyNpjPg

I am completely not joking: Any space that's messy enough can sound great to record in. You need to commit to the right level of terrifyingly chaotic piles, though, but if you do, it's reflection-diffusion heaven. (See also: My horrifying shed) #fieldrecording #sounddesign

When a menu has a neat little tween. Or a character has a funny little animation. Somebody out there spent days making that little detail perfect. And when you’re playing a game you’re blasted with like 50 of these little things per minute. Games are so rich with human life! It’s awesome!!!
