Welcome, new followers!

I'm Bjoern, and I create music for video games.

Though my only complete soundtrack for now is Skellboy Refractured, there may be more to come in the future!

In the meantime check out this song:

This is, in my opinion, the absolute creepiest soundtrack that ever graced the Gameboy's sound chip.
I remember playing Metroid 2 back in the day with headphones and getting more and more scared the deeper I traveled into SR388.
One of my favorite Metroid games for this reason, too.

Making her skirt-cloth thingie cover the leg closer to the camera was a choice and I will stick with it.

"Fresh", sealed copies of Super Mario RPG actually have a unique title screen. This screen is lost permanently on that cartridge after playing and saving just once, and can not be restored without tinkering with the cartridge or waiting decades for the save battery to run out.

I think one of the saddest things about being a millennial is remembering a time when technology was advancing in a way that made life better and easier and more exciting instead of actively, intentionally worse

Playing Earthbound for the first time ever in 2025 is fascinating, actually. You're just a kid and the world's gone mad. All the adults are useless at best or trying to kill you at worst. Everyone talks like a crazy person. Everything's too expensive. Your next door neighbor wants to be a dictator.

In 2021, the makers of the indie classic CrossCode got a grant from the German government to fund half of their next game. They thought it'd take ~$1.5 million and 3.5 years.

Things didn't go quite as planned. Here's the story behind the follow-up to a masterpiece: www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...

'CrossCode' Makers Look to Follow Up on an Indie Masterpiece

'Alabaster Dawn' will build on the combat and puzzles of 'CrossCode' but present an entirely new setting

I'm trying to understand how this is a ceasefire when Israel basically seems to have never stopped killing Palestinians

Tiny Toons on Gameboy was one of the first games I bought with my own money when I was like 7 or 8 years old.
Seeing this game colorized gives me the warmest of feelings.

Brand Newman @brandnewman.bsky.social · 3d

I'm gonna slowdown on #tinytoon DX updates for a while, not because I'm working less on it, but because I want to keep some surprises for when the patch is released. That being said, here's a glimpse of the second boss, Arnold, whose attack I have always fancied! #gameboycolor

Arnold playing with the hero as a basketball

Arnold is vanquished : his portrait shows him defeated, and he grants access to the heroes.

Legendary Final Fantasy Composer Nobuo Uematsu says he’s never used generative AI, and never will.

"I think it still feels more rewarding to go through the hardships of creating something myself."

It's still a great game, and as I said, bloober did something amazing here.
But there can be "too much" of a thing, you know.

Bjoern Means Bear @bjoern.neocities.org · 3d

Finally rolled credits on the Silent Hill 2 remake.
While I really love what bloober created here, I also have to say that the various locations, in my opinion, just go on way too long.
It's not really a bad thing, but it definitely made me want the game to just frigging end already.
