New hobby unlocked: open street mapping! I have an issue feeling unproductive when just taking a stroll, so this has been one way of giving myself a reason to go out. There are errors here and there, and some Norwegian services rely on it (Entur too i believe). Recommended!

Micro #booksky Review: Exile (R. A. Salvatore) + Engaging core conflict + Interesting characters + Unconventional yet satisfying conclusion - At nauseam repeating characters’ origins and motivations - Continuous explanations of why characters said and acted like they did - Poor emotional shift 4/7

Cover for the book “Exile” featuring two drow in close combat.

I’ve been curious about the inner workings of some of my favorite RPGs lately, so I started graphing data as I played. I think there are some interesting things to explore surrounding the psychology of numbers and comparison gameplay experiences. I opened some games in Ghidra too, but that’s WIP.

The Norwegian games expo (SpillExpo) has been an absolute joy. We’re so happy with the reception of our game Sacred Gems! Some parents had to physically drag some of their kids away. My heart broke a little when one of them asked if he could get it for Christmas bc it’s not out yet 🥺

That's so satisfying, I can hear the #sounddesign even if there is none so I just had to create it

We put together some footage from our initial meeting with voice talents for the game Panta Rhei, where our narrative designer/CEO and the talent discuss their character. This one is with @ginaleighsmith.bsky.social, who gave our main character a voice and greatly improved their personality.

Panta Rhei by @reignitegames.bsky.social is releasing this week!! It's absolutely bonkers to see how this game has changed in less than a year. Doing sound, music, and audio implementing for this game has been a pleasure. Steam if anyone want to check it out: store.steampowered.com/app/1730550/...

Game Audio in Norway is currently hosting a series of lectures on Dolby Atmos. It’s been really insightful, all from making creative mix decisions to building an Atmos certified studio. When consumers start expecting Atmos in their games, there is no going back. #gameaudio

Try something with variable pitch, like this. It gives the sound a bit of personality. drive.google.com/drive/folder...

Sound design is interesting for many reasons. I went to a hardware store and asked one of the employees if they had any chains, to which he asked “what for?” He looked slightly bewildered when I said I needed its sounds.

I recently discovered @bardictools.bsky.social, and I like how it allows me to put together my own soundscapes. Trying it out while DMing my next D&D Tabletop Session!

Micro Book Review: Ruination + A great blend of mystery, character drama, action, and romance + Character motivations are clear from the start - Took some time to care for the characters - A pretty big assumption led to the main conflict - A single use of the word 'spun' during a fight 7/10

A book cover for the novel 'Ruination'. A sword is in the middle of the image, pointing downward, and smoke forming the shape of a woman with a spear envelops it. On the left of the hilt is the text "her family", and on the right side it says "her fate".

Pixalon Devlog 1: I've made a main character, and they can now move around! To explain my complicated process, I made a speed-painting video. There was some trial and error, but I settled on the colour grey. My character is really similar to Link, because anyone will be able to identify with them.

In parallel with these endeavours, I've also run my own company called Nordic Scoring, who have been involved in a handful of game projects and made a sound library for Soundly. Our ultimate goal is to create and stimulate jobs for musicians and artists. I hope some of you will support that goal.

As game jams got more crowded, and my interest in technology increased, I started signing up as a programmer more often than not. My first time jamming as the sole Unity Dev was at MiT in 2018, and I've barely touched audio during jams since then, besides for mentoring or giving presentations.

I met two brothers who ran a mobile game dev studio just outside of Boston, and for some time I traded my music and sound design skills for help with programming. I managed to land a gig as a Unity/C# developer some years later, something they definitely laid the groundwork for.

Having a good grasp on music theory, I decided music tech was better worth my time at Berklee, where I did my undergrad. That didn't stop me from assembling an orchestra with some great musicians. Shoutout to Anthony Sabatino, Lori Syngajewski, Megan Neal, Ismael Sandoval, and Jaman E. Dunn.

I attended my first game jam around this time, in 2013. I was the only audio person at the time. Last year, I celebrated 10 years of jamming, which is absolutely insane to me...

By doing a music track in high school I got a teacher who was deep into prog rock and jazz, did a small tour around the country and ended up playing in Budapest one time. I think I should do a mentor appreciation post at some point.

Like any Norwegian musician, I got started playing Metalcore in my teens (guess who is me). Core memory: the largest venue we played was Rockefeller in Oslo, and the mosh pit was insane. The audience did a wall of death at some point. First and last time I experienced it while on stage.

I have a completely new #DevDesk! Got it used and cheap too. Finding a corner desk with a top shelf was quite the challenge. Don’t forget to put some plants around your desk. They help you dev good and think smart, and are great rubber ducks if a rubber duck is not currently in your vicinity.

I’m not a traditions kinda person, but I will watch this film every single Halloween until the day I die so I can strut around singing “this is Halloween, this is Halloween, Halloween, Halloween, Halloween, Halloween” to my partner’s great grief. They stopped sharing my enthusiasm after year 1.

From #D&D night yesterday! My players entered a portal guarded by some elves after they refused to fight back, but instead urging them through with the promise of long awaited answers. There were more elves inside! There were no answers. It’s nice to get away from my PC like this. #ttrpg
