I played In Full Bloom at Gamescom last year. Such a fun game! Looking forward to the demo going public very soon. 👏
Field recording at a horse stable for Horses of Hoofprint Bay 🐎🔊
Currycombs, hoof picks, brushes, and other textures that will help bring the hand-drawn, tactile game world to life.
Hard to source elsewhere, so recording on location was key.
@thoglistudios.com @themanequest.com
That’s a great choice as well! Both are excellent at what they do. Looking forward to it 👍
Thanks so much! Really enjoying collaborating and bringing the game to life together. 🙂🐎
Scoring the trailer for Horses of Hoofprint Bay 🎶🐎
The brief: organic, playful, grounded. No big cinematic gestures, just music for a hand-drawn, European world.
So, I chose live guitars, bass, and real drums.
Excited to be on board for the game’s demo, too!
@thoglistudios.com @themanequest.com
Oooooh, super excited about this! And… is that Joel Schoch on music again? 🤩 @okomotive.ch
So happy to see this, and huge congrats to Timon and @metaroot.bsky.social! 👏
Awesome! Thanks for sharing.

Super excited to see my music land in so many different shows again.
Grateful for the publishers and teams who help make it happen. 📺🎶

Michal Sinka is presenting on stage at the Swiss Game Hub, talking about his approach to creating a professional game audio pipeline for an indie game using Wwise.
Gave a talk last night at @swissgamehub.bsky.social about how I used Wwise to build a professional audio pipeline for Inventorix.
I wasn’t sure how a room full of non-audio people would react, but they leaned in, asked great questions, and made it a really special evening.

This unique gem of a game will be part of Steam Animal Fest this coming week! 🐎🎮

🎵 One of my favorite bits of sound design in INVENTORIX was the money “kaching”
I made 11 short synth hits tuned to a dominant pentatonic scale - small payouts trigger single notes, big ones play short melodic “kaching lines” 💸

Screenshot from the just-announced PC game Horses of Hoofprint Bay, showing a hand-drawn 2D horse standing in front of a paddock, tied to a hitching post. There's simliar UI elements for stats and an interaction menu to Feed, Groom, Tack etc. on the bottom right
sometimes the creators of your childhood favorite games refuse to re-release or remaster their 20yo game despite it being a massive success at the time and you just have to take matters into your own hand 😌
Loved scoring the trailer for Horses of Hoofprint Bay! 🤩🎶🐎
Big thanks to @thoglistudios.com for bringing me on board!
Congrats to Timon and to the entire @metaroot.bsky.social team! 🥳
This is wild! 📈🔥
