Here's me being bad at a bit of fishing in the Rune Fencer Illyia demo. Rune Fencer Illyia is a Metroidvania by Nootbox games filled with a ton of minigames like our fishing hole. Music by me! #pixelart #Gamedev #indiedev #ドット絵 #VideoGameMusic #indiegamemusic #gamemusic #GameAudio #VideoGame

Proud to be working with the fine folks at Outersloth.
I've rejected many publisher offers over the years, big and small. Too predatory, too much risk foisted on the dev.
In contrast, Outersloth had one of the fairest contracts I've come across in the industry - for which I'm incredibly grateful.

My one regret about going into game audio is I can't listen to music while I work on anything. No three hour LoFi video game Youtube mixes for me
