Super proud of our team and the community for fanning the Forts flame! This coming April will be 10 years since we launched. We’ve managed to keep a small team employed for most of this time through thick and thin. Lots of cool new ideas coming too!

Very excited that @delverium.bsky.social is launching into early access on Sept 22! I’m busy writing a bunch of chiptunish+metalish music for it and having a blast. Shoutout to @andersg.bsky.social cranking out the awesome sound design 😊

I hate video editing so much, I really should have made a bigger song and dance of it when I finally made a new sound design sizzle reel last year. So apropos of nothing, here it is! youtu.be/Sl-NsxuDqkM?...

One thing to try is to make a Metasound "Patch" (it's different to a source) and it looks like you can drag metasounds sources in and patch them together.

I'm feeling quite honoured to have been nominated for the music in @tempopogame.com in the @apraamcos.bsky.social 2025 Screen Music Awards. It was super unexpected, and am looking forward to rubbing shoulders with some of the most talented Australian composers around at the ceremony.

something I think is interesting about @witchbeam.com.au is we've always made our own trailers for Assault Android Cactus we cut 8 different trailers (!!!) which is way too many so I thought I'd do a thread celebrating our hubris! 🧵 #indiegame #indiedev

Jeff van Dyck @jeffvandyck.com · 23/09/2025

Agreed. I brought this up on an Unreal Discord and someone responded saying you're supposed to do the logic in blueprints, and just the audio generation stuff in metasounds. I sort of understand, but it spreads things between two systems, which is messy.

Trying out this wireless midi kit and I have to say, I’m quite impressed. I left the click going so you can hear the lack of latency.

Had a listen to this today and it really is one of the best covers someone has done of a song of mine. If you’re into the Cactus music, this guy does an incredible interpretation (with some amazing piano skills & arm hair). I wish I could play like him… youtu.be/LWx5Bo8d_us?...

A lazy Sunday servicing my Space Echo. Replaced the tape, but now it doesn’t sound great, so I think I need to tweak the tension on the pinch wheel 🤞😅

Happy Switch 2 day! We checked, our Switch 1 titles run great! Assault Android Cactus+ and @tempopogame.com both benefit from faster startup times and look real nice on the bigger screen.

TEMPOPO music needed to be upbeat and cheerful. Composing forced me to be in a good mood for about 7 years 😅. Got my dancepop on, fired up the synths, even wrote lyrics. Recorded family singing, a blast all round. OST is out now! Steam & Bandcamp version have 91 tracks with extra instrumental mixes!

I've been working on @tempopogame.com's UI for the past year. It's been a pleasure working for Witch Beam again, and the whole time I've been keen to do some Unpacking crossover fanart. With the project wrapping up I finally had some time to do it! Check out Tempopo on the 17th! #pixelart #gamedev

A pixel art drawing of a floating isometric island with flowers and a Tempopo on it. It is in the style of the game Unpacking but depicts a level from Tempopo.
