ODDADA is nominated for "TOMMI" - a children's software award! 🐶 👍 🏅
That means that in libraries all over Germany, kids get to play our game now to judge if it's any good and I absolutely love that 😍 😄

I made art for a video game where you make art! 🤯

If you’re at #Polaris in Hamburg this weekend, stop by @studiomonoblok.bsky.social in the Indie area to check out their wonderful game "Earthlings"
- and while you're there (if it’s not too loud around the booth 😅) enjoy some of my sounds 💙

Windosill was one of the biggest inspirations for ODDADA, so we’re now very happy to present a bundle with both games in it!

The #IndieGame ODDADA deserves more love. I don't have a music background so this has become a fun creative #music outlet. For beat makers and producers they might find it too restrictive but, for those want to start it's a nice starting point.

Here's an example of a song I made with the game.

What is a typo you often make that reveals that you are way into games or game dev?

Mine is spelling my name "Mathidle" 😅

Exactly one year ago, @osmoticstudios.com Closer the Distance was released.

I’m so grateful I had the chance to compose the music for this beautiful game - and even more thankful that @mathildesound.bsky.social and my passionate and personal work was honored with the German Developer Award ❤️

The german developer award 2024, made out of metal and glass. In the inside, there's a hand, holding a game controller. And next to the award, there are green sunglasses.
