This writeup is mostly me yapping but there’s also a sound section from @8190.blorbo.social.ap.brid.gy with a big shoutout to a @jameskrasner.com sound pack: jameskrasner.gumroad.com/l/frozen-cho... Check it out!
jameskrasner.gumroad.com
James Krasner's Frozen Chords Pack
50 frozen chords made for your sound design and music production projects.Each sample is a 30-second, loopable, atmospheric pad. The samples in this pack are designed as a bed of notes that all fit within a key. This makes them function less like traditional chords in music and more like an atmosphere to build off of. For this reason, each sample is labeled with the key that the notes fit into, rather than being labeled with a specific chord name.

I don't know how one can make a better #LudumDare in 3 years because LD is not only a game jam website but a community built over 20 years. We made #d2jam website and it's slowly growing. You can say it's a BETTER website but making a better LD in 3 years is an interesting challenge! #gamejam

Just finished Cairn. As a climber IRL, this game really struck a chord with me. It easily has the most realistic climbing mechanics of any game I've ever played. Playing this has given me a lot of ideas for the future of climbing games. 🧗 @thegamebakers.com

In the spirit of spooky season, I decided to redesign this clip from Alien: Isolation. Really trying to evoke the intimidating presence of the Xenomorph and the fear from the player’s perspective.

Anyone else insanely hyped for Alien Isolation 2? I know it's still in early development, but I'm eagerly awaiting the first trailer when that drops 🙏 @creative-assembly.com Since it's spooky season, I'm working on an audio redesign for Alien Isolation. Making the xenomorph sounds is so thrilling!
