@microsoft.com how long is this going to take? I'm dying over here

Honestly overdue imho

Someone emailed us asking for this, and we thought it would be fun to make public: if anyone wants stems for "Trombone Skyze" in order to make a remix or whatever, here they are! Just let us know if you make anything cool with them!

We only have one of the full-sized cabinets, but if you’re interested in setting the game up yourself, let us know! A handful of people have displayed the game at events - all you need is two keyboards and a pc! Happy to supply the software + provide guidance

The "Icarus Proudbottom's Typing Party" arcade cabinet in a large, white, empty lobby

Yeah, most of our photos are from the day we set the cabinet up, when the museum was completely empty... the cabinet will not see this level of peace and quiet for a long time lol

imho even the idea of a ps5 pro in the present is absurd... it's very, very hard to make the case that the ps5 was a truly generational leap from the ps4 pro

"Icarus Proudbottom's Typing Party," our two-player typing arcade cabinet, will be in the lobby of the Museum of the Moving Image (@movingimagenyc.bsky.social) for the next six months! Thanks to the museum for this opportunity and for @wonderville.nyc for making it happen!

Do not leave the house today

(White rectangle counts as cursed too, sorry)

If you see a Trombone, you will have a Blessed day
If you see a White Square, you will have a Cursed day
Repost if you have been Blessed today

weird little pixel on the character select sceen

Nearly every day for years, I open Trombone Champ, see this weird little pixel, go "what is this?" and then never fix it. It's the little traditions like this that keep you going

Only on the year it came out?... 😠

A thumbnail of the Trombone Champ logo with "-70%" text, plus thumbnails of its three DLCs with "-20%" text

For the Steam Spring Sale, Trombone Champ is 70% off and its DLCs (UNDERTALE+DELTARUNE, Celeste, & Pizza Tower) are 20% off! The game has never been cheaper and has more content than ever! store.steampowered.com/app/1059990/...

An image of a Trombone Champ character playing the trombone, with text: "version 1.30," and a list of changes: "an update to the UNDERTALE + DELTARUNE DLC, Steam Timeline functionality, and more!"

The UNDERTALE + DELTARUNE update comes alongside a small update for the base game, which adds Steam Timeline functionality and a few other small things! You can read about that here: steamcommunity.com/games/105999...

DELTARUNE Chapters 3+4 Come to Trombone Champ! YouTube video by Holy Wow Studios

For the Steam Spring Sale, we've pushed a FREE update to the UNDERTALE + DELTARUNE Song Pack DLC, which adds 7 new songs from Chapters 3+4! Check it out! www.youtube.com/watch?v=RzZ8...

A screenshot from Mandy, with the titular character lit in soft red

It also shows one of the many ways games aren't taken seriously as art... a finished work is a finished work... you can't assume that every imperfection or unrealistic detail is a "mistake" on the artist's part. Would an NVIDIA exec enjoy "Mandy" or would they be thinking about how to sharpen it?

Two images of Grace from Resident Evil Requiem, one with DLSS 5 off and one with DLSS 5 on

This has been talked about to death, but mostly through the lens of consumers rather than the artists. Character design is an art; artists at Capcom spent god knows how many hours designing Grace. *Replacing* their character design is incredibly disrespectful to them!

No

Surprisingly uneventful day... but we're at least excited to watch the Oscars tonight!

Walking back to our hotel in the Tenderloin! Excited to try some pizza on the way (iirc, everyone says west coast italian food beats the east coast)

The Moscony Center

Really quiet this year!

The view out of the window of an airplane, with clouds and wing visible

On our way to GDC! Let us know if you’re around, we’d love to meet up! 🙏

Actually, scratch that, the nightmare definitely is not over lmao. But the trombone emoji is good 👍

Our long nightmare is finally over

It’s actually really reassuring seeing this, I’m always feeling the urge to reduce the number of states due to developer brain

Jan 10th entry for JAMUARY. The "jamuary" idea was to make one of these per day, but a sudden family health emergency has taken practically all of our time this month. Still nice to be making music "just for fun" for the first time in a while 🙏

Well, a medical emergency in the family has disrupted these jamuaries. Hopefully can pick up a few more throughout the month!

Jan 2nd entry for JAMUARY (recording a jam every day during January). I'd like for these jams to have more verse/chorus/verse structure, but I'm only spending around 1 hour on each of them, so you get what you get!

Filming in IMAX because it’s the only format that can fit all of the characters in-frame
