Hey, if you’re interested in the disaster that was the Virtual Boy, @will.pushdustin.com and I did a full episode covering it for PAX Online back in 2021. It even has a mini concert from @jamatar.bsky.social at the end!

Hi! I'm making a soundtrack for a game! You can wishlist it on Steam! And watch the cool trailer that I edited for it (I put it on my CRT)! This is a track from the arcade mode :) #chiptune #gameboy #megadrive #gamedev

I gotta post more updates! Here's a quick WIP of a nice chill Home Base track that's going to build up / down in layers in game :) Nice crunchy dx7 vibes and Mega Drive drones! #gamedev #jupiterjunkworks

A closer look at our next playable character, Jun the pilot! Poribo.com did an amazing job bringing her updated design into 3D! We couldn't be happier and can't wait to share more about her story. She's also being voiced by the very talented @erusha.bsky.social!

A somewhat amusing look behind the scenes at how our new WIP logo and title screen sequence is built and 'functions'.. if it works, it works! Still a long way to go though..

This is really amazing :) In the last year, some really nice people have been using some of my tracks in Geometry Dash and honestly, I did not expect to double my streams but here we are :) Thanks all for another sick year of keeping Jamatar on the air! #chiptune #gameboy
