Composer etiquette tip: if you playtest our game just to diss the music as your only feedback and then push your own music reel in the comments, don't do that

I won't be there this year for the first time in a long while, but @alexaray.bsky.social if your friend wants to DM me I can send along lots of info on audio at GDC!

Are we working hard or hardly working on A Baby CEO?! Wishlist us on Steam and find out later this year!

After careful consideration for which legendary actor could portray the main character of "A Baby CEO?!", we found the Teletubbies Sun Baby perfect for the job.

A poster with a picture of me on the left and a drawing of Akash on the right. The text reads "SOUND BUSINESS PODCAST" "Teaching, Composing, and Organizing Community of Game Audio" "Special guest: NOA BEAZLEY"

Loved sharing my game audio story on @akashthakkar.com's Sound Business podcast! Among a bunch of other topics, we took a deep dive into juggling composing, teaching, and community organizing.

You can find the episode on Apple, Spotify and Google Podcasts. #GameAudio

Second this! These ones are great value and I use them all the time with the very same record player

We weren't in the game awards, but here's our game about being a CEO and also you're a baby

Two blue ceramic egg holders with eggs inside. Jutting out of the holders are two ceramic chicken faces.

I need you all to see what I picked up at my local pottery studio

So EXCITED about the INDUSTRY in BOSTON!!!

Yes, I'd love that!

A black bag hanging on a door. It says in big red letters "HAIR DRYER". It looks like the "YOU DIED" screen from Dark Souls.

Thank you! The visualizer is the awesome ALMAM Player, which you can pick up on itch. It lets you set your own background, colors and playhead so you can really get the vibe right for whatever track you're doing.

My favorite is when they bump their little heads together

My one caveat is that this was recorded quite some time ago now and the industry has unfortunately only become tougher. BUT if you're new to learning about these subjects, I hope this gives you some good info and a solid place to start.
