If you are looking for a demo to play during Steam Next Fest check out Fretless! 🎸

Its a music RPG where instead of swords and shields you fight with guitars and music! You can upgrade your pedal board, collect mods and explore a unique musical world

back in the day i made a visualizer for one of my songs

you could load any audio file and then load images into it and based on the loudness of the audio it would increase the resolution of the image which is drawn with little circles. pretty neat!

4 albums that inspired the OST of my game Fretless

Hyperlight Drifter OST
Hot Mulligan - You'll Be Fine
Rob Scallon - Self Titled (some of these are on the OST)
End - From The Unforgiving Arms of God

If you compose game music I wanna see yours!

pretty happy with how the guitar pedal equip sound turned out for Fretless. Quite satisfying if you ask me!

This is how I design the musical skills for a boss in my game Fretless! 🎹🎸

The attacks in the game are little pieces of music that all get stitched together by the engine to create little songs in combat. ⚔️🎶

Super hyped to say that Northlane worked with us on a song for Fretless. The song is available everywhere on streaming services! 🤘

Northlane was one of the most inspirational bands to me getting into writing metal and music production so it was a pretty surreal experience working with them.
