iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Workspace update: I have one now! No more excuses. 😆

My apartment's new "office"! It's a wooden L-shaped desk in the dining room nook, near the window. A Yamaha keyboard sits perpendicular to my laptop/monitor's stacked screens (the big eye-level external monitor showing Furnace, and the laptop screen itself showing a Discord chat). An eclectic assortment of devices is connected to my computer, including a USB mic, a Switch 2 Pro Controller, and a couple HDDs. A rock salt lamp, a blue and green lava lamp, and a gifted amigurumi of Yumetarō from Gimmick! serve as lighting and decoration for now.

Wendy Carlos should be on the 20 dollar bill. There should be a 50-foot-tall, solid-gold statue of her in Pawtucket. You should be able to buy all her albums in any format you want and a line of custom branded synths. She should be a household name along with Bob Moog.

How Indie Game Composers Are Surviving the Layoff Storm

As 2026 shapes up to be another record year for video game layoffs, composers find themselves on the front lines. Feeling the squeeze, they open up about how they keep their heads above water.

The attitude of simply playing everything available to you, regardless of how it was produced or whether it’s even accurate to the real experience, is driving us up the fucking wall. Mindless, uncritical consumption is how we get Palmer Luckey releasing Game Boys built with murder drone parts.

To celebrate all the recent love for #Hoi and #MoonChild, I fired up @aseprite.org to create some new Hoi and MC pixel art, for the first time in ± 30 years. 😃💚 For the scenery, I used my tiles for the Amiga version, combined with the Windows version's mountains and night sky background.

Pixel artwork, depicting a scene from the 1990s Moon Child game, featuring the Hoi and Moon Child characters.

HVB☆damifortune | new album out!!🪻 @samplemance.rs · 18/09/2026

my new emo chiptune album A PLACE TO KEEP YOU is out now!! <3 I'm taking my intricate, glitchy arrangements to new horizons! this is my first release with vocals - practicing songwriting has been hugely rewarding. this record blends live instrumentation with authentic chiptune (Gameboy, NES, SNES)!

the cover art for "A Place to Keep You" by Hunter Van Brocklin. it shows a small house with its porch light on, largely obscured by trees and shrubs except for the stairs leading up to it. a large apartment building can be seen behind it with several of its windows lit up. the artist and title text appear to the right in white with a big quotation mark next to them.

Instead of using AI to help you make chiptune trackers, I recommend finding community in like-minded devs to help you do that. Seemed to work pretty well for the Furnace Tracker folks.
