To all game Devs: My current game music gig is on hiatus for a few months as the dev needs some development time before new music can be done.

If anyone is in need of some tunes: DM me and we can discuss rates.

This morning I was watching a producer on YouTube make music in the style of Japanese jazz from the 70s. He said "Feel free to steal this chord progression."

Sorry dude, not how it works - I don't need your permission.

The YouTube upload for Vampiric Waltzes is now up. Have you checked out those tracks yet?

If so, do you prefer the authentic or the enhanced mixes?

I think it says a lot about a person where they stand on the whole Freddy - Jason divide.

What I think is interesting is that their own market research has already shown that the oversaturation in product has not led to net growth - yet magic sets are made and planned so much in advance that they now have to do this for a few years either way. Classic shortsighted capitalist stuff.

100% agreed. Being told that you do good work is great motivation, and there´s only so much motivation we can summon intrinsically!

Give folks their flowers

No, I mean right now. Go tell someone you loved their work right now. They're on social media just say it, it has never been easier

"They know how much people love--" no they don't go say it right now to a composer or artist or game dev or writer or anyone AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH

From bravewave.net/interviews/t...

Mo: Do you remember the first time you met someone who said they loved your work on Mega Man 2?

Tateishi: You’re the first, in 2013. No one else has.

Mo: Wow. I’m surprised. I don’t even have a follow-up question… how could no one come up and say something.

Tateishi: …

Mo: Now that you know how big Mega Man 2 is outside of Japan, do you look fondly back at the soundtrack?

Tateishi: Yeah, my thoughts have changed since I met you and became more aware of how people felt. But even when I was at Konami, I didn’t even bother telling anyone I did Mega Man 2. So the fact you came all the way to Japan to tell me these things makes me very happy I worked on the game all those years ago.

That makes sense! It's probably just the setting remind long me or Shadow Warrior, too.

Honestly love the look of this. Reminds me of the build engine?

Quick disclaimer: I would be open for some commissions in November/December this winter.

If everything in your game is easy, players won’t care when they win. Friction creates meaning. Make them struggle a little, even if it frustrates them in the moment. That frustration turns into pride, and that pride is what makes victories unforgettable.
