I tried to generate a Game Music feed for Bluesky.

Some results still seem off, so if someone knows how to make it better, I wouldn’t mind some advice!

Cheers!

Le cénotaphe de Turenne, a short and pleasant oneiric experience about a cenotaph that never was. Reminded me of ICO and constellations levels in Okami. Very sweet adaptive music and sound design too.

The Zelda timeline has become too complicated for me
A poster with a big triangle made of smaller triangles. The title says “the story of Christmas”. The dominant colours are green and gold and make it look like a complicated Triforce.

I cannot stop laughing. This is so indicative of what's wrong with these AI people and how they view art
He ran into a wall where the "make art" button wasn't satisfying because it wasn't actually making good enough art, and instead of trying new things he just requests a stronger button

Cool new feature on the Nintendo Music app. It even changes automatically every hour.

I just wished they had a real audio engine allowing more flexibility, layers, etc.

It's not the first time I hear the term 水商売 to designate musicians' livelihood. The Japanese definition says "business with an income depending on popularity and client's will" so, yes, a music career does sounds like 水商売 to me, especially in Japan.

Veteran music critic, 89 year old Reiko Yukawa, brought down the wrath of BABYMETAL fans when she compared the band set-up to 水商売 (mizu shobai) activities. She has countered critics by saying the term means something different to them. than to her generation. smart-flash.jp/entame/366974/

For the very first time, the music of Xenosaga & Chrono Cross will come to life on stage in Paris. Based on our official albums, with the beautiful music composed by Yasunori Mitsuda, performed by Benyamin Nuss.

A good reminder that pizza can be written and pronounced two different ways in Japanese: ピザ (piza) and ピッツァ (pi:tsa).

Ah, the intriguing chaos of katakana!

I like Bluesky. Sometimes I refresh my timeline and there is no new content so I go back to what I was doing.

Do people who think games must be made quicker play? There are brilliant games releasing every week and our backlogs keep increasing. As usual, what we need is less and better.

I really love this musical font. Clearly not the most readable, but so refined and pleasant to the eye.

No time to play these days but if this can comfort anyone who didn't get a Switch 2.

By the creators of Strange Horticulture, which had a (literaly) fantastic atmosphere. Would love to work on a game with that setting some day.
An e-mail from Steam announcing that the demo for the game "Strange Antiquities" is available.
