Me too

Rami Ismail (رامي)@ramiismail.com · last mo.

If you're young & considering games - I will tell you "don't". If you want to do games, do it with eyes wide open as to the shitshow you're getting into. Yet if you decide to go through with it despite everything, know you'll find me & others happy to support your art whichever small way we can.

I cannot recommend AAA folks going indie. It's brutal out here, funding is rough, and the processes that work in AAA do not translate to indie. If anyone that was laid off insists on going indie and wants to chat about the risks & complications, I'm always available for a chat or call.

Today on my stream, I'll be using "Rob's Adventure Foley" to make designed UI sounds for download on itch. Check it out if you're around at 1:30p CST! www.youtube.com/live/AYSrSoc...

Dear sound effect and music asset creators; Please stop using generative AI for your thumbnails. You're putting a giant label on your work that gives the impression it's low effort slop, even when the actual content might be excellent stuff!

Same. Same. Same. Same. 2026 IS HARD

I love video games so much. 😭 I've spent 20 years making them. 🫡 I wanna keep making video games. 🫀 I also wanna get paid enough to live. 🏠 2026 is hard, y'all. 🖤

Oh! I almost forgot. @robertfrostiii.bsky.social, my sound designer for Veridian Expanse, made an asset pack of adventure game foley sounds that he released on itch. He even has a free pack. Get 'em while they're hot! robertfrostiii.itch.io/robs-adventu...

Hey somebody hire @robertfrostiii.bsky.social for sound design or music composition. He’s available for freelance etc. He has FMOD and Wwise implementation experience, too!

I agree. That lighting is good. 😘hehe ok the sounds I made are good too 😇

Veridian Expanse@veridian-expanse.bsky.social · 3mo ago

So my sound designer, @robertfrostiii.bsky.social, is looking for more projects. He's really quite good and I can highly recommend him. He does the whole shebang from design, to effects, to music. FMOD is his usual jam, but he even puts up with my homemade audio shenanigans. robertfrostiii.com

Important question, how do you pronounce Pokémon? Po-ka-mon or Po-key-mon?

Oh no… I started streaming

In an effort to pull back the curtain on my sound work for games, I’ve started streaming process on YouTube. Very raw, likely cringe, work in progress type of thing. Come on if you’d like to see the madness. FYI, there’s no schedule…Madness I know… www.youtube.com/@robertfrost...

Been experimenting with music lately, trying stuff that I usually don’t. This song in particular leans toward the prog/jam band genre. I think it turned out pretty good! What do you think?

I’m really excited about the sounds I’m making for @veridian-expanse.bsky.social. Really trying to make space for the sounds to come.

#ScreenshotSaturday for some of the new... (checks notes) audio? Not technically a screenshot, but it helps the game look it's best anyway. 😄 @robertfrostiii.bsky.social has started paving over my royalty free placeholders to make a real audio-scape. 🔊 👂 (pew pew!) #indiedev #GameDev #audio

Needs more UI

RoboCop 2 has RIDICULOUSLY good sound design. I’ve never heard weapons and explosions sound so imaginative and fresh. Metal focused sounds evolve throughout the movie to tell the story of a more and more seasoned cop (harsher and more abrasive as the movie progresses, but also more confident/big).

Any 3D artists out there mixing hard surface AND hand painted skills? We are looking for that one cool person to give money to in return for their excellence. PST California working hours: job-boards.greenhouse.io/gravitywell/...

Joggernauts is a game we made where you jog around inside the guts of an alien whale thingy and sometimes other places.

Started on Veridian Expanse and ohhhh boiiii is it gonna be good!

Finally talked with a local audio guy (robertfrostiii.com) to start replacing my placeholder audio. I got excited and implemented low/bandpass biquad filters and added some new dynamic audio effects. (Video coming soon! 😀) Rob has a Bandcamp if you want to take a listen: robertfrostiii.bandcamp.com

Omg I need help building a routine. I have ADHD, high anxiety, depression, prob on the spectrum… I can only get a few hours of work done a day and it’s killin’ me. Being self employed has been a struggle. Ideas, I’m ready for them go!
