Critter Drifters is a single player retro kart-racing adventure game I've been working on this year, and is much in the vein of #DiddyKongRacing (if you couldn't tell)
Release is November 3rd, and a free demo is out now!

Made another trailer for Critter Drifters, releasing November 3rd!
I've been making a ton of progress lately but things are getting to a point where it's feeling more complete.

I'm about halfway finished with Critter Drifters, I'd say. My goal is to release it by end of year!
It's shaping up to be quite fun as well, but I'm just a bit biased on that.

Got something exciting in the works—can’t wait to share it soon!
In the meantime, I dusted off an old unfinished track and made it weird. 😅
I’m calling this one “Star Paper,” inspired by the dreamy Shooting Star Summit from Paper Mario.

Blast from the past! One of my favorites from my first ever album.
It was the first time I felt like, “Yeah... this sounds like me.”
Spooky, moody, but still fun — like a haunted level from a 90s game.
🎧 Hope you enjoy the vibe!

I've been working on adding boss races to my game recently. This one is a raptor with a very wonky run cycle...
Also, I want to thank @codym-composer.bsky.social for allowing me to commission them for the background music. It really ties everything together and makes it feel like a "real" game!

Not music related, but took a little composing break to finish this little project. She's only 1.5 years old, so maybe it was more for me than her 😅😜
I’ll be hopping back into music mode in the next day or two. 🎶

🎵 WIP: Sunny Fields
Started as a quick voice memo — now it’s becoming track 2 in my Cozy Seasons pack. Still a work in progress, but I’m loving the warm, sunny vibes so far.
Think: sleepy villages, flower fields, and gentle breezes.

Found this old idea from when I first got the Super Audio Cart plugin. It’s not part of anything I'm currently working on, but there’s something there…
Maybe someday I’ll finish it. 😁

Finally using that Reference 2 plugin too that I bought months ago 😅 Feedback welcome!
