iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

I greatly enjoyed my time with this game and have been looking forward to this soundtrack release! If a peaceful, knowledge-gated metroidvania about exploring a vibrant world, scanning wildlife for dex entries, and solving cryptic mysteries sounds interesting to you, check out EMUUROM.

Someone described their Star Trek: Deep Space Nine pun to me, and I was compelled to throw together this silly edit at 4:30am: Gull Dukat.

An image edited to superimpose the head of a seagull onto the humanoid torso of a Cardassian holding a baseball.

This is meant to convey "Gull Dukat": a play on "gull", as in the bird, and "Gul Dukat", the character from Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.

I finished Mysteries of Old Tokyo last night and loved it. I'm reading its 1990s-style manual so that I can stay immersed in its charming world for just a bit longer. If you enjoy falling down rabbit holes on wikis and amassing all sorts of knowledge just because IT'S NEAT(!), check it out.

That idea from 2 weeks ago morphed into this track, which I finally finished tonight. "Splintered Fortress" could be described as a rapid journey through the stages of an NES game that never existed. What kind of game would this be? www.youtube.com/watch?v=VZ9f... #chiptune

Of course, the moment I need to go outside for a few hours is the moment my brain starts composing a chiptune in 6/4 time with metal riffs. Will I even remember it when I get back? Walking past a cacophony of street-level stores with music blasting from them makes this a little challenging. 😅

This may be a long shot, but with Summerchin starting in about a month, I wonder how much closer to 2K followers on Twitch we can get before the event. If there is such a thing as "long-form streams" that try to be thorough and hopefully also cozy...I suppose this is what I'm aiming for at least.

Can't set the duration of notes? Just arpeggiate to fill in the gaps. (This may or may not be real advice.) Herb coded a cool toy to let chatters play musical notes via his stream bot, and I had fun putting together a little bit of Europe's "The Final Countdown" to test it out.

I just got a DM from someone that pirated my game. They said (paraphrasing) that with hindsight the game was absolutely worth the price, and were asking my preferred avenue for them to buy it (Steam vs Itch). I've gotten a lot of great DMs from players, but this one is probably my favorite.
