🔊 Another piece of the tracks I made for Sweet Swipe! Went for an urban, old-school hip-hop feel, using a ton of scratches and samples. Super proud of it 💪 #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #sfx #indiegamedev

@WhalesAK oh nice! it's great to see the process 👏👏

@Promeduzh looking cool man! the warm colors are great!

Adding some atmosphere to the industrial zones with this new smoke shader. #gamedev #indiegame #grimdark #shader

Control - Sound Redesign 🔊 Check out my latest sound redesign! I chose Control because I saw so many possibilities to experiment with cool and interesting sounds. #sfx #soundesign #gamedev #indiedev #solodev #indiegame #indiegamedev

From 1 hour to 10 hours of work. A quick glimpse at the sound design process: from basic footsteps to a polished mix. #sfx #gamedev #indiedev #solodev #indiegame #indiegamedev

🔊Loved creating the UI sounds for Sweet Swipe. Drew from graffiti sounds to make something simple and effective that fits right in. 😁 #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #sfx #indiegamedev #screenshotsaturday

My Warhammer 40K Space Marine redesign is finally here! It was a ton of work and a real challenge to balance all the loud sounds, but I think I managed it. 😁 #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #solodev #sfx #indiegamedev

Isolating the bot sound from my Warhammer 40K Space Marine redesign. So much detail gets lost in the mix! #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #solodev #sfx #indiegamedev

Finally posting my Ori redesign with the isolated Beetle's sound after ages, hehe. You can hear it more clearly here. Hope you like it! #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #solodev #sfx #indiegamedev

@Ki3_Games Anyway, thanks a ton for chatting and answering all my questions! Haha. I'll be keeping up with both projects. All the best!

@JPedro_sd While the creation process is different for each discipline, my game ideas are fairly vivid and concrete before I even start working. And that also applies to the soundtrack. So I usually know exactly where I'm going before I start writing.

Majora's Mask stairs!

@Ki3_Games It's awesome that you have this level of clarity in your pre-production process, major respect for that discipline, I wish I could be that focused and pragmatic from the start hah.

@Ki3_Games Wow, that's amazing! A true card of all trades, you really do love it all, I can see haha now I'm curious, does your headspace feel different when you sit down to compose for the game versus when you're coding or designing it? Or does it all flow from the same creative place?

@JPedro_sd Indeed, I'm a musician and was so before I became a gamedev 😁 I wrote, recorded, and produced a dozen albums in the past. I'm leveraging those skills for my games, in fact most of the soundtrack for Seed of Life was written and performed by yours truly 😊

@FungusHareGames Awesome, it's clearly shaping up great! Congrats on the progress, what's the team's main goal at this point? Any specific short-term milestone you're trying to hit?

@JPedro_sd We always planned to make a roguelike where your minions are the main combat mechanic. We explored many ways to keep that idea dynamic and eventually settled on our current version!

That was smooth! 🍭💥 #indiegame #indiedev #roguelike #MotivationMonday

@Ki3_Games Got it, cool, that's crucial to the rest of development then, It probably defines a lot of the other elements too, so how are you handling the audio and music for the projects? Is that something you tackle yourself?

@JPedro_sd I do plan mechanics first, at design-time. Since I specialise in Zelda-likes (which is a sub-genre of metroidvania), levels need to be designed around items and abilities rather than the other way around. 🙂
