Thankyou! It is but a taste of what is to come :)
The new score for Edenfall is incredible. And what better way to experience it by seeing your own animations come to life with the music.

Somewhat disappointed with the Nintendo Direct tbh. From what I can tell it’s mainly more repackages and square enix 2D-HD look-a-likes…I want to see more original ideas… (to partly justify my purchase lol) show me trailers people!

It's boggling to think that the OMNO soundtrack, which I poured heart and soul into, released 4 years ago today! So much has happened in that time, and I'm so grateful for the support and opportunities that have come since.

To no one's surprise, it turns out that our in-game soundtrack (made by @benedictnichols.bsky.social) is so good that even the trees seem to be 'dancing' now! 🕺

Had a blast this past weekend showing off Twins of Olus in public for the first time at #TGE2025
Thanks to anyone who came out and gave us a huge boost of motivation! Looking forward to doing more events in the future.
