@JamesLandino ...and we love it!!

sometimes our job as game music composers is to make the 4/10 game feel like a 7/10

@marikyuunVT IT WAS SO MUCH FUN!!!!!!

SURPRISE!! In the last 30 days, I've been tirelessly working on a videogame for a metroidvania x magical girl themed game jam! It was my first ever game! Lots of incredibly talented people worked on it, I'll talk more about it on stream today, but feel free to play it yourself!

@marikyuunVT it's so much fun!!! slowly building a little city for my mons :D

Just unlocked the private island thing in pokopia (already finished the story) and I'm SO OVERWHELMED do people seriously decorate all of this??? How do you even tackle something like this omg

I took part in this! Go check it out :3

@SkylaVT oh my goodness, i'd just never want to go to that theater again 😭 any time in my life that I've been negatively confronted it gets permanently embedded in my brain... this is so real

At the end of my second watch of iron lung the manager at my local theater pulled me and my friends aside and sternly told us we weren’t allowed to bring food in (I brought a box of Mike and Ike’s, we all bought drinks and popcorn at the theater) most uncomfortable conversation

@ThomasMoonKang oooooooooooooooo do i hear @STEEL_PLUS cookin' again HECK YES

Shrink the MOON! #gaming #pixelart #indiedev

@metenosttv nope i was on a loading screen i typed really fast

@failpositive But did you put it down when you made this post? 😮

pokopia is way too good i legitimately can't put it down

@IdlePaladin @The0neulost Yeah AFAIK they're not, you have to specify a duration.

@failpositive @The0neulost Are indefinite NDAs even legal? They're saying they didn't sign anything so I guess not.

I think I’m safe to share this now. About two years ago I was given a job to make merch for some Vshojo clothing. I was paid. But I was told I was not allowed to say I made the art for it. I assumed that was normal. It hurt to see false eye cover the merch announcement knowing that people wouldn’t know I made the art. This was a nyanners and ironmouse clothing thing. I wasn’t as good back then and was much smaller. I really do think the money was nice. But not being able to say I made the art did hurt. I also wasn’t the first choice and was given the job through someone else with only a week to make both artworks. No opportunities came from it. So in a way it wasn’t worth the money. I’ve been holding on to this for a long time.

@The0neulost THESE ARE ADORABLE THEY'RE SO EEPY 😭😭😭

Couldn’t find the merch in the reverse image search. But if anyone even remembers or has seen these. This is the artworks.

@The0neulost EEESH! And no additional rate either?!? Well, if there was no contract you're good to go if you want to share it- a contract is required for anything like this to have holding power, otherwise it's just a handshake agreement. Plus the company's gone so nobody should complain!

@failpositive The thing is I never signed anything. It just doesn’t feel like a professionally handled situation. The more people comment and my art friends DM me the more I feel like I’m missing something.

@pazetic_ocean As someone who kind of has I think, it's particularly in your writing style and techniques- ways of writing melodies especially but also commonly used instrumentation!!

how tf do you build your music/composer identity? I love fantasy orchestral music, I love ambient, I love dirty rock, I love jazz, I love midi/PC-98/fm music, I love chiptune music, and I have an ability to make music in any of these genres... how tf do you choose one?????

@Franrekk Oh this is gonna be SICK!

I'm a game design genius
