I never talk about it, but yesterday I celebrated my 10 years anniversary of going vegan 🖤. So here's a rare pic of short-haired me at that time, visiting California for the very first time! Be kind to people, animals and yourself too 🖤.
Music was also absent at the beginning, yet it now is a core part of Ryze! We might do a video on how the music system work and how it came to be 😉

Incredibly excited to share the first trailer of Ryze: an unforgiving, quirky, 2D platformer that could be the hardest game you’ve ever played! We're a small team of 5 passionate devs that kinda suck at marketing 😅 so please share 🙏 if have a friend that like challenging games! (1/2)

Today marks the 5th-year anniversary of me releasing music online for the first time ever: a cover of "The Landing", a track I love from Final Fantasy 8. When I listen back to it now, I mostly hear the flaws: everything drowning in reverb, instruments not in sync with each other, and many others....

Had a blast playing Quartet. It's an incredible turn-based RPG! I don't have a Switch, but if I had one, I'd buy it again!

Writing some more JRPG music for this upcoming Retro x Power Metal game! One perk of the job is that I can spend a couple hours "listening to references" and still feel like "yes, I'm actually working" 😅 #gamemusic #gamedev #rpg #chiptune #metal #gameost

If you're a jr. sound designer & are interested in working on a narrative-driven RPG, I know of a studio looking for someone. Most of the game's sounds have already been made, and the team now needs someone to help them cross the finish line (there are ~75 sounds left to make). (1/2)
I've been hired to compose the soundtrack for an upcoming retro JRPG! The dev wanted the soundtrack to also be inspired by power metal 🤘😮🤘 So... here's what the main theme sounds like! #gamemusic #gamedev #rpg #chiptune #metal #gameost

So, a reminder: If you like a game on Steam, please leave a user review, because it remains half-buried (intentionally so) until it breaks that 50 review threshold. And it requires 500 reviews to be eligible for the Overwhelmingly Positive rating, as well as other algorithm-stacking perks.
Just finished Quartet by @somethingclassic.bsky.social, and I 100% recommend it if you're into old-school JRPGs! My favorite aspects were the story, the dialogues and how it respects your time as a player. Huge congratz to the team for making such a great game!
Currently playing it right now, and can 100% confirm it's very good! Stellar music and the pacing is also on point. Every game session I play, even just an hour, the story progresses in meaningful way.
