Mutazione has a wonderful one, though I believe it's point-and-click and you're not directly controlling the character. Planet of Lana has a really nice one that's briefly accessible.

I think it's great that devs can go with different musicians across their development careers and introduce new colors to the work. But boy, it sure would be great for composer morale and institutional knowledge if there was such a thing as in-house sound teams again.

I think you would have to be doing a couple full soundtracks a year to survive off game music alone, and besides that opportunity only existing for very few composers, that's also a brutal hustle. I have to switch it up and have a few lanes. Bottom line is most of us virtually have at least 3 jobs.

Good article. For my part, I've never been able to survive on game work alone, from 2013 to now. It's always been the side thing. Everyone I work with is great and we're trying to do the best for each other. I often rely on people wanting to repeat work with me cuz new opps are slim.

Bitwarden is really fussy and bad with auto-filling/popping up as a suggestion when you hit a login page. It is also very fiddly when you have to make a new login and generate a pw. It feels like it complicates my life rather than making logging in seamless.

i am so beyond thrilled to launch my new webcomic: PRAYERS TO THE FUTURE! it's a muslim-themed post-apocalyptic adventure about coming together to breathe life into a struggling world. the first update is now live at prayerstothefuture.com - the comic is free to read + updates every monday. ENJOY 🧿

an illustration for the launch of my (iasmin omar ata) new webcomic PRAYERS TO THE FUTURE. the main character, irfan, poses with an obsidian sword. the rest of the comics cast (a mystery for now!) is depicted in various shapes behind her. the title of the comic is written outside of a circle behind irfan, with "by iasmin omar ata" written on the underside of the circle. within the circle, a post-apocalyptic desert is shown, with a tall obisidan obelisk at the center and a giant crystal floating atop it.

Oh yeah, Townfall has pretty limited options but I would have gone 24 given the chance for sure. One of the fans of the game Virginia being made to run at 24 here

I decided to play Silent Hill: Townfall at locked 30FPS voluntarily because I genuinely think it vibes way better with the cinematic look they're going for (I'm right), and I'm now playing the SH2 remake and liking 30FPS more there too. New personal rule for "cinematic" games?

But all that was acquired in a walled garden by a younger, less aware me, and if I was wiser, I would have enjoyed it while it lasted while knowing I fundamentally did not own any of it. The only thing you have is people that you make a real exchange with, a purposeful connection. "Off platform"

I did feel like I lost people on this level of, "I like to look over and see that you're doing ok even if we don't talk." I remember when the Sounds Of Tokyo-To Future teaser had five-figure reactions and I'll never get that again. It also felt like a big opportunity could come thru DM suddenly.

It makes me happy to see that leaving social media, limiting your time here, etc. is so much more normalized now. When I left Twitter early in this decade, I often felt like the only dumbass who threw away all my connections and friends. Now I feel like you can find community in wanting to quit!

I've only played the classic version, not the new thing, but there's only a few types of enemies that blow up and cause damage. There are difficulty spikes, but not a lot of "gotcha" moments. Side quests only become unavailable once you advance the story to the next major chapter

Once again, music has experienced first what was coming to the other arts. For the last few years, I have been getting offers of a temporary buyout of my entire discography for 12-15k, then they give it back to me in 3-5 years. All the shit is predatory loans in disguise

What independent artists make is better than you can understand. It has to be, for us to love it so much and give up so much of our lives and keep going regardless of support. I'm making my music better than you can ever know. I'm doing my part of this. It's your turn to pick up the weight, people

I stay throwing my new songs up here and sharing other folks' art that needs support, but what gets 10x the attention is takes, dumb jokes, pretty uncontroversial political stances presented in my tone. well here's a take, artists are starving for your eyes here.

People say they want new things, but you need to spend at least half as much time looking for them as you do seeing if these big companies will make you feel 8 again. And it's probably not going to be on your bluesky timeline because a lot of people making great things don't bother with this website

If they've been asked and they're refusing, that's pretty wild. There's usually a section in our contracts about not opting licensed/original tracks into ContentID, for this exact scenario. It could be a label distributing the OST, there are some greedy ones in games.
