A new What I Love video! Heavy spoiler warning: it's all about the endgame of Outer Wilds, and the orchestration/sound design decisions that guide the player through its final sequence. Though I don't talk about the DLC (yet), so if you haven't played through that, no worries!

A new arrangement! I've turned And Now For Today's Sponsors from Deltarune Chapter 3 into a bombastic big band medley, straight out of a game show from the 90s or early 2000s. I hope to have done justice to Tenna and his showmanship!

Omg, my old friend. Made this in Blender a few years back, and it's fascinating to see it pop up now and again with a few more jpeg artifacts each time

The game crashed at this point, so I think it's safe to say this is as far as I'm ever getting in #9kings (the normal maximum is Year 99😂)

My friend @oaf.bsky.social and I worked together on a game for the 2025 GMTK Game Jam! You play as a little salmon eating prey to grow and then avoiding obstacles to swim upstream in a loop of life cycles! It was super fun to make and we hope you enjoy it 😄

Mainly used CSP's default gouache brush for this to give every surface some nice painterly grit. And nearly every layer got a pipeline of:
1. Multiply layer for primary shadows
2. Multiply layer for (heavy) ambient occlusion
3. Add layer for specular highlights and red rim lighting

I forgot to enable Clip Studio Paint's timelapse feature when I painted Warhammer Bowser for the latest arrangement's thumbnail, so instead, I put together a little video of each layer being added in roughly the order I painted them!

And last but not least is the most unexpected pairing: Bowser's Castle theme from Mario Kart: Double Dash!!, arranged in Jesper Kyd's style from Warhammer 40,000: Darktide!

It's a triple attack of new music arrangements! The theme is boss music in the style of a different game... but I ended up arranging *all* the options in the Patreon poll! First up is the Emperor Bulblax battle from Pikmin, in the style of a boss from Breath of the Wild!

Some Deltarune doodles... turns out Schoolhouse Rock's style works very nicely on them

I don't often plug my Patreon, but I'm especially excited for my next arrangement and patrons currently get to vote on it! The theme is "cross-bosses:" iconic themes from climactic fights in their respective games, but done in the style of a different game soundtrack!

For the beginning of April, I have a new, special episode of my Pikmin 4 playthrough to show you! I take on another challenge that Captain Olimar offers, one that's very different from the rest of the game!

The team that created Frogsong is working on a new adventure called Stomp and the Sword of Miracles, about a plucky hero whose island is caught in a feud between two gods! And I'm going to be writing the game's soundtrack, so I wanted to share a taste of the music so far!

Oh, one last thing! This link to the updated version of the document denied me access, you'll want to check Share settings in Google Docs and set viewer permission to "Anyone with link."

Your guess unfortunately seems to be the case, as the comment isn't even held for review, it's just gone with no notice. If you can provide a link to that list of corrections, I'll make a new pinned comment and credit you! Hopefully YouTube wouldn't take down a comment from me on my own video lol

My last upload of the year: my patrons voted for me to arrange the Advanced Step theme from Wii Fit, and it was a blast, both to perform and to animate!! And special thanks to @wafflesmogumogu.bsky.social for performing Samplemodeling's The Trumpet in the outro!
