Im finding making songs that don’t just sound like chopped loops quite tricky using the koala sampler, still it’s fun to use & easily at hand. This is a wip for this weeks @musicweeklies.bsky.social challenge prompt which was #anxious

This week's @musicweeklies.bsky.social theme was #Crabs What kind of music does a crab need? Well I shuffled sideways along to this so it’ll do I guess. Used the koala sampler app, which is an ace piece of kit.
I’m a huge fan of Terarin Games and their indie shoot-em-ups. So I reached out to the founder, Junichi Terayama, and asked him a bunch of questions. Like, will we ever see a physical release? Read the interview 👉 www.forgottenworlds.net/blog/terarin... @terarin55.bsky.social #Shmup #STG
The tag list got deleted when Texas went rogue and kicked BsoN off bluesky, but I still receive muttering from the dark side. Happy Shmup Friday.
Power washing needed doing - tried to jazz it up by wearing my Tormentor X Punisher tshirt whilst listening to the banging soundtrack 🤘 Let’s Fucking Do This!! 🤘
Here's the 2nd Demo trailer for my game Torasu, a 'pseudo super scaler' love letter to NES Gyruss. It will have 13 stages (~36 planned)
Episode 095 of Shoot the Core-cast is finally out! MetalFRO and Addicted are joined by special guest BKRoo to dive headlong into the indie shmup that came out of nowhere, Drainus! www.youtube.com/watch?v=M7f8...
This week's @musicweeklies.bsky.social theme is #Unplug so I did a quick acoustic guitar ditty for it. Excuse my playing, especially in the second bit, it’s been a while! #musicchallenge #acoustic #guitar
This week's theme is #Unplug Could be acoustic, could be about getting away from it all, whatever it means to you. Upload your track with the hash, tag us, and be sure to feedback others.

Remember the internet before Google, before algorithmic feeds, before monolithic social media corralled us onto the same handful of apps? When small, *personal websites* and webrings linking them together reigned supreme? Time to bring it back.

Another late night playing ´Galactic Attack’ on Saturn via MiSTer. Made it to stage 5 w/ 1.5 mil, I cleared on pad a good while back, so trying now with stick is messing with the muscle memory… slowly getting there though.
We made history! 😮 In the newly released book Arcade Adventures by @lostincult.co.uk, writer @spadgy.bsky.social graciously mentions our Schildmaid MX in an illustrious lineup of #indiegames that he thinks successfully build on the foundation of arcade #shmups to explore new directions.
Quick jam on laama’s new RISA (think LSDJ but on NES instead of Gameboy), via MiSTer. Entry for the music weeklies #feelgood theme - no time for a full track/proper vid export, but i had a good time 🤘 #musicchallenge #nes #tracker #lsdj #muwee @musicweeklies.bsky.social
