Panel discussion info blurb: "Making Chiptunes with No Musical Background" by SevenCastleForest. 3pm Saturday April 18 at VGMCon.
Holy heck VGMCon is coming up fast! I'll be doing a panel Saturday at 3pm Central about getting started making chiptunes as a total musical beginner. Come say hello!
I think the general change in aesthetic and physics engine from quake 1 really threw me offat the time and I never really got that into it. Quake 1 and 3 were my jam!
I bet if I went back to Quake 2 today I'd find it awesome, tho.
I ported Super Monkey Ball to a website.
You can access it in the replies.
(or just type what you see in the video, I'm not your boss.)
TIME TO ANNOUNCE The Chiptune Webring! After coming home from #MAGFest and talking with friends, I thought "why not combine my love for coding & chiptune into something useful?" If you're interested and love #chiptune of all kinds, please feel free to join! sephlow.net/chiptune #neocities #indieweb

Hell yeah! I'm in!
I want to be Synthesizer Patel's friend. He seems like a rad dude and I think we'd get along really well, hahahaha

Hearing about other people getting into (or back into, as in your case) any musical hobby just really makes me feel great. Happy you've been having so much fun with this!
Thank you, dude, that means a lot!!!
I just released a new track that relied heavily on the Massive X samples provided by @jjbbllkk.bsky.social and the BABA LAB INGREDIENTS samples provided by @floorbaba.bsky.social
Thank you for providing awesome resources like these to musicians like me. Y'all rule <3

Just downloaded this to my phone and am stoked to listen to it on my way to/from work tomorrow!
Happy birthday, my dude!!! Hope it's a great one even if everything around is on fire 🫂
Hey @jjbbllkk.bsky.social ! Your new album friggin RULES! I was already super excited after listening to the prerelease track about a week ago. Then, when you released the album itself, I was in awe. Please keep making art. It truly helps me, and I'm sure others, to witness beauty like this. Cheers!
Want to dance to some thumpin' chiptune?
I got just the thing for ya:

God DAYUM, that was absolutely glorious. Wish I could witness this live!!! Fantastic job on this one. Also, happy birthday!
Hey all - I created a starter pack for M8 Tracker artists! go.bsky.app/GSpJkgD It’s short now but send me a DM if you make tunes with the Dirtywave M8 Tracker and want to be added! #m8tracker #chiptune #chipsky #m8 #dirtywave #trackermusic
My guess is that GB Action was some sort of publication that gave them a 90% score.
Have you ever wanted to feel what it’s like to play the powerful and energetic rhythms of samba reggae??
Well, here’s your chance! The HTown Batalá crew is really excited to offer a samba reggae workshop series to all those who are curious, regardless of skill level: www.instagram.com/p/DOD5ygRkRyP
Dude, this kicks so much ass!!!
Another submission to the M8 Community Jam in the bag! The theme was "Drive Time".
I made this using nothing but the M8's internal synths in about 1h30m! Super simple structure, but I really liked what I arrived at!

PS: I'll be playing an all M8 set!
Thank you so much! I promise I'll try, hahahaha...

guess who's performing for a tiny crowd for the first time ever?!
if you're in houston on aug 30, come check it out!
And I'm so profoundly grateful you did. Such an incredible resource and label.
Happy birthday, Tobo!!!!
Back then I was already listening to stuff the scene was making, but there were no shows around me!!! I feel so envious of folks who were able to go to these historic events like blip fest... Ah man, sounds incredible...

Anyways, I'll start by naming a few artists whose profiles I found here: @zabutom.bsky.social @laamaa.fi @shirobon.bsky.social @nullsleep.bsky.social @dubmood.bsky.social @ubiktune.com @chipzel.bsky.social @panthercatanimal.bsky.social @mikey303.bsky.social @bit.shifter.net @shemusic.bsky.social
As a side note, I feel incredibly fortunate to live in a time that allowed me to enjoy yesterday's incredible display of artistry and talent even though I'm thousands of miles away. And to also be able to directly connect with HUNDREDS of other musicians in such a direct way!!!
