I developed a technique for writing combat music for video games.

Aesthetically, it's inspired by the battle music in various Zelda games, but I based it on counterpoint to make the dynamic fragments more seamless while increasing the amount of variation one can get out of the core ideas. #gamedev

Also: thanks to the wonderful @mathildesound.bsky.social for the adorable handcrafted ODDADA earrings that can barely be seen here, and which I now use on all expos and conventions. I love them.
The Norwegian games expo (SpillExpo) has been an absolute joy. We’re so happy with the reception of our game Sacred Gems!

Some parents had to physically drag some of their kids away. My heart broke a little when one of them asked if he could get it for Christmas bc it’s not out yet 🥺

Thanks for having me work on it! It was fun to merge non-conventional percussive sounds with jazz.

I'm not making a game to appeal to a wide audience, or for as many possible people to play it.

I'm making a game for a handful of people to love it to pieces.

I'd rather make something that one person loves with all their heart than something a thousand people think is okay.

A large group of people may like a game and never want to spend money on it.

A handful of people loving a game throw money at it.

We put together some footage from our initial meeting with voice talents for the game Panta Rhei, where our narrative designer/CEO and the talent discuss their character.

This one is with @ginaleighsmith.bsky.social, who gave our main character a voice and greatly improved their personality.

Panta Rhei by @reignitegames.bsky.social is releasing this week!! It's absolutely bonkers to see how this game has changed in less than a year. Doing sound, music, and audio implementing for this game has been a pleasure.

I regret not having been active here lately. One of the games I’m working on is launching in less than a week, and it’s been challenging to balance various aspects of life.

I also had an important deal fall through recently, due to the other party changing their terms just before signing. Not ideal

The true benefits of a completely unregulated market is the freedom to figure out for yourself which products will kill you and which won’t. Only the brands that don’t kill you will survive, yay!

Game Audio in Norway is currently hosting a series of lectures on Dolby Atmos.

It’s been really insightful, all from making creative mix decisions to building an Atmos certified studio.

When consumers start expecting Atmos in their games, there is no going back.

I'm slightly inconvenienced by the fact the functionality "hide empty staves" in music notation software hides measures that have only rests in them. A rest isn't nothing, it is in fact something. The measure isn't empty >:c

The Windows os search has regressed so much the past 20 years, it's now faster for me to just manually look for files.

Just... why?? It used to work!

Gamers are pretty spoiled these days, and most don’t even know it.

Why is it so hard to look past the shiny stuff and embrace substance?

Depth over width, I say.

A friend of mine is making this really cool strategy Roguelite game. I met him at a convention last year, and I kid you not I occupied one of his battle stations for a solid 3 hours.

Don't play it if you don't want to lose track of time lol
