composers looking for an amazing collaborator - or devs looking for music check out Psamathes if you haven't already - she is a wonderful artist and person to work with. One of my absolute favourites

Psamathes🎤🎮 Versatile Vocalist @psamathes.bsky.social · Sep 5

It's #BandcampFriday and all revenue goes to artists! I was laid off this summer so if you're looking for fantasy music, cinematic music, or Mediterranean Dark Folk, your support and shares are appreciated 💜

I feel the same way really. I dont think the 'starter packs' helped here either - just means you get a ton of followers that never go back to your page again.

I long for the days of geocities too. A much better time on the internet. Ahhh.

Reminds me of a guy that once said to me "I don't listen to classical music", he was referring to anything before the year 2000.

Hey hey hey it’s #screenshotsaturday!

Here’s a fun little thing showing how #Gravastar started years ago, and where we’re at today!

Always crazy seeing how it evolved from a #2d game to a #3d game!
