Proud to be working with the fine folks at Outersloth. I've rejected many publisher offers over the years, big and small. Too predatory, too much risk foisted on the dev. In contrast, Outersloth had one of the fairest contracts I've come across in the industry - for which I'm incredibly grateful.

“Without widespread theft, my industry can’t survive” is an argument against your industry surviving, and is not an argument for allowing widespread theft

whenever somebody asks me if I'm almost finished developing my indie game

Space Cobra: "The Game is Almost finished."
Bystander: "So what happens when it's finished?"
Space Cobra: "You don't know?"
Space Cobra: "That's when finishing the game begins."

New (used) half angled 24U (12U angled, 12U on bottom) rack I got super cheap locally! Still waiting on my rack ears for the Audient EVO though to finish setting everything up.

My one regret about going into game audio is I can't listen to music while I work on anything. No three hour LoFi video game Youtube mixes for me

Clench your jaw. Drink only caffeine. Don’t go to bed until 3 AM. Forget to eat anything until 6 tonight and then eat 2.5 plates of pasta. We’re in this together.

A lot of 50's/60's orchestral stuff was purely Decca Tree with no outrigger, ambient, or spot mics There's definitely something about the purity of a single stereo capture

I recently acquired a Kurzweil K2600r and it may be the coolest thing I own. It made me feel a certain way hearing a lot of the old Chrono Trigger samples in their full quality glory. Plus the VAST synthesis system seems DEEP. #gamemusic #videogamemusic #gamedev #synthesis #synthesizers #indiedev
