Power Up Audio

After nearly 8 years of critiquing #gameaudio demo reels, we figure it's about time we crafted a showreel of our own. Check it out, hope you enjoy! 🔈🔉🔊

In the past year, Rift of the NecroDancer received three nominations for best music/audio, and none of this would have been possible without the work of the folks from @PowerUpAudio! Shoutout to the whole team, and thank you for making our music even more powerful 🎧🎸

CORRECTION: Due to a scheduling conflict, our #gameaudio mentorship roundtable has been moved up one hour. Same location (hopefully), but **starting at 3pm** instead! See you there!

Note: Location is a LITTLE bit TBD... the GDC folks like to mix things up from year to year, so sometimes there are tables, sometimes areas are temporarily closed off, etc. - but it'll be somewhere in the Moscone West common area for sure. We'll update and confirm on the day!

Hey #gameaudio folks! Going to #GDC2025? We're hosting another informal, open-book, mentorship roundtable! Ask us anything about sound design, contract terms, biz dev, conference tips, demo reels, whatever... we'd love to chat! 🔊 [March 17, 4pm-6pm: 3rd Floor, Moscone West]

Wanderstop launches ONE MONTH FROM TODAY!! This is the game I've been writing/directing for seven years, and it comes out March 11! Here's the video we made where I express a bit of what this game means to me and where it came from. (any RT's would be much appreciated 😘)

In just one day you all managed to get us to Overwhelmingly Positive on Steam 🥺 (500 reviews is the threshold). Thank you all for your love and support. It means so much to our team!
