This spritely little prelude comes from woodwind teaching materials written by Jacques Hotteterre le Romain in 1719. It sits quite nicely on the EWI!🎶

I can't play it until the holidays or it will ruin my life, but this is pretty exciting! I've been anticipating the release of Xenonauts 2 for a decade now!

Which one of your covers was the most difficult to record or produce?

UFO 50 is on sale for the next few days, and I really think it's a bit of a generation-defining release that everyone should try. If only a handful of these games grab you, it's still a great deal, and you'll see so many cool ideas as you explore all of them!

Thank you, that's very kind of you! I've similarly enjoyed seeing your amazing work with Amiga stuff!

Time to start bringing the cave area to life!

Yooo your mockups are getting insanely complex! I think I'd have a far easier time making this as a game than animating it!😅

Thank you! :)

Here's a little world-premiere recording that I made recently with Sue Newsome! It's a charming set of canonic duos by the Australian composer, Margaret Sutherland!🎶

Ahhhh I left out Castlevania!😔

I couldn't chop it down to just 9! This list is more about being formative and impactful rather than just a "top games of all time". #my9games
It was a fun exercise to think about just how many wonderful games I've played!

I've always really appreciated the details in your 1-bit backgrounds. Those pyramids in the background of the palace are a great example—every line and pixel conveys so much!

I just finished editing up the soundtrack to the little PICO-8 game that I released in January: Vacuum Robot Racing!

A little technical study; a harbinger of the imminent teaching semester! This is No. 5 from Blatt's 24 Technical Exercises🎶

Thank you! I tried to make the little ooze as cute as possible :)

These screens are starting to feel more like actual places now that I'm filling in the tileset! It's very exciting to see this finally come together!

In late 2024, I started working on my biggest ever game: a precision platformer metroidvania called 'Ooze With Nothing To Lose'! The finish line is finally in sight—I'm planning to release it this year. Follow me for dev updates!

After working with simple solid-colour mockups for over a year, it's so nice to finally see what the finished game will look like! 1 screen down, around 49 to go😅

Everything is hooked up so it's now gameplay-complete! I did a 100% run tonight, and it took me about 45 minutes; I'm expecting it will probably take new players 1-2 hours. Now begins the very long process of making it pretty!

This is probably the hardest compulsory screen in the game—very possible, but very tricky!☠️

Charming!

Me too—coincidentally, I'm playing through Order of Ecclesia now! The GBA entries were especially foundational for me🦇

Big news. This looks like a return to 2D single-player metroidvania gameplay—the last Castlevania game that did that came out *18 years ago*.

Form's a bit shaky, but my maximum bench is still improving slowly! This is 3 reps of 70kg—a new personal best!💪

You and the team should be very proud; it was such a memorable experience!

Learning that Castlevania: Circle of the Moon came out 25 years ago made me crumble into dust.

That's a fittingly energetic loop!

My latest cover is a mellow version of a classic N64 theme! I hope you enjoy my take on this magical track!
