Malindy's voice is absolutely beautiful and I cannot WAIT for everyone to hear this track!!! 😤 she brought the song to a whole new level 💖
Got such lovely compliments for the recording upon hand-in that I can now reveal I've recorded a smol song for Wax Heads! As someone who gave up music for a proper job (I know, don't talk to me), singing on a game makes me feel like Hikaru Utada for Kingdom Hearts

a fun lil thing about the Wax Heads soundtrack is that it kinda maps out my guitar journey
when i started working on this song i was working on octaves and the lil 'da-da-da' down up down thing in my lessons which is why they're heavily featured lol

here's a snippet of one of the last songs i've made for Wax Heads!!!
it's about something i'm super passionate about -- music not having to be ✨perfect✨ and being a thing of joy and expression and bringing people together
so i hope you enjoy my perfectly imperfect rendition 😌

Wax Heads is a beautifully crafted cozy-punk narrative sim - to me it's a nostalgic ode to growing up in a time void of mainstream music streaming .ᐟ.ᐟ

GUYS! I need your help. If we get to 100 followers by tomorrow my manager said I can leave early for the day.
If a sim game with a cozy-punk narrative about running a struggling record store your thing drop us a follow and a repost 🙏
We can't wait to bring Wax Heads to you all in early 2026!

Hilde (@heksen.bsky.social) wrapped on Mythmatch in February of this year.
She did amazing work on the Mortal Realm map design. I'd just throw in everything that the map needed functionally, and she'd lay it out to feel like a living, breathing space that also looked nice!

Mythmatch is getting to the point where some folks are wrapping up their tasks and also, others wrapped long ago, but I'm only realizing now. So I'm going to quote tweet this post to talk about them.
But if you see this, you can see their work in action here:

EXCLUSIVE: So far it's been unclear what proof Rockstar Games has to justify its firing of 34 union members, who it claims were leaking "confidential information in a public forum".
