Thanks Lisa, glad you enjoyed 😊 Your talk was awesome, wonderful to see basic mechanics like wood gathering thrown under the bus by an expert on those mechanics 🤣 I think I was one of the few who raised my hand when you asked who has ever split a log. Chisels and 2 man crosscut saw baby!

12 Days to go, Commanders! #Archrebel is probably the most heartfelt tribute to the classic REBELSTAR and LASER SQUAD games created by Julian Gollop. This demo is a complete short game, and you can easily put 20+ hours into it if you plan to see it all. #gamedev #Indiegamedev

Had an awesome time talking at Communion last Friday - such a cool event, and damn, what a venue! Really enjoyed the talks, lots of variety and unusual topics. I now know that I have 2 kinds of talk: music talks that go too deep, and "depressing war shit" 🤣🤣

Today's listening - Protest the Hero! Just love their variety, grooves, harmony, tech-ness, and the range of the singer is OFF THE CHART. I've tried a few of their other albums, but this one for me is like no skip, all gold. 🎵For a million years 🎶 raise your glass🎵 www.youtube.com/watch?v=iEMW...

I'm on the Spanish side, commanding a 112 gun First Rate in the battle of Cape St. Vincent. We've started off decently, but the lead ship decided to order FIGHTING SAIL, as soon as the battle started, which sounds cool, but actually mean GO REALLY SLOW. Now half our line is swerving not to collide

Tom Jensen @composertom.bsky.social · 02/09/2026

Playing in an age of sail Kriegsspiel game at the moment, ~50 players, each commanding their own ship. 10 minute order delay. communication only by signal flags. First person perspective from your ship only. Let me tell you, even staying in line formation is a massive challenge 😂 mass confusion!

The game has released! #ruinsOfCalaworm is a lovingly rework from an obscure early 90s German Dungeon Crawler. Think #roguelike but earlier: no ranged, no builds, few stats, deceptively simple. Just You and then Dungeon, bumping into Witches and Eldritch Horrors. --> Get it on @itch.io (Link in Bio)

Game Designers - I will research the instruments and style of 19th C European ballrooms. I will give the melody to the Euphonium. There will be waltzes, there will be dignified yet luscious chord progressions. I will write in full tails at the piano #gamedev #gamedevelopment #gamemusic

My 10 min microtalk at COMMUNION Auckland in October How soon is too soon? The answer is it's never too soon, and it's also always too soon. People that died in the 490 BC are just as human as those that died in Ukraine or Gaza this year. But how do we handle this in video and board games?

Retro Game Designers - I will research the specific period and games that your project is drawing on, find out which synthesizers were available, how the music was written, and then GO NUTS creating music in that style. For example: #ResidentEvil and #ResidentEvil2 #gamemusic #gamedesign #gamedev

New music for #ruinsOfCalaworm! This is the last track required before the release this month! August 28th! This lovecraftian creepy-cute roguelike features NES synths, live viola, and a bizarre arsenal renaissance, baroque and 20th C contemporary elements. #screenshotsaturday #gamemusic #gamedev

Game Developers - I will make a shitty audio recording on my phone, then turn it into a fully produced track with live instruments. Sometimes what a track needs is that "organic" element that comes from improvisation - creating something without the limits of a music program. #gamedev #gamemusic

Game Designers: I will hire a grammy award winning cellist, write a track that other composers said had "TOO MUCH CELLO", but then when I come back with the live recordings they say "ACTUALLY THAT'S THE RIGHT AMOUNT OF CELLO", just for your game Every game deserves the right amount of cello #gamedev
