The answer to these is usually no but it never hurts to ask: do I have any friends with any connections to the folks that run VGMDB, perchance?

How are we already just a few months out from the end of the year and thus the end of the first season? Didn't this show start like last week?

I'm pretty late getting to this one, but it's a really good listen. I, too, think about the music that should be played at my funeral.

Genuinely so happy with how this episode turned out, my friends did great even though almost all of them worried they wouldn't have an interesting enough answer. I'll say more on it when it fully goes out next week but for now just know that I think this is a good one!

It's Bandcamp Friday! That means if you buy something on Bandcamp today 100% of that money goes to the artist! My purchase for today was the soundtrack to Haven by Danger, a really really neat soundtrack for a very neat co-op RPG

There will be a bonus episode of sorts maybe this week, maybe after I get home from vacation, I don't know yet. It's not an interview but it is something personal.

It's Bandcamp Friday! Today is the best day to buy a soundtrack because all the profits go to the artist! Today I bought the soundtrack I haven't been able to shut up about for the past two weeks as well as an old favorite that came to mind for personal reasons.

I am going on vacation in two weeks but once I'm back I still have one month to fill on the schedule... Finding a guest for that has been legitimately kinda difficult but I suppose it'll be time to really put my back into it once I return

Luckily now I actually will have the opportunity to do a much looser "favorites of the year" thing in December, so I will get to shout it out and a bunch of other stuff come the end of the year!

Every year there's at least one game that makes me wish we still did the best of episodes at the end of the year, and I think this year's is definitely Denshattack

20 years ago today, at 11:15 PM EST, an important milestone in VGMdb history was reached: our first album page was submitted. Full post: vgmdb.net/forums/showt...

20 years ago today, at 11:15 PM EST, an important milestone in VGMdb history was reached: our first album page was submitted. It was technically the third album page, but the first two pages were database tests that were deleted. I chose the Final Fantasy VII Original Soundtrack because it was a favorite of mine, but it is also a fitting tribute to the impact that this soundtrack had in inspiring new game music fans. Of course, at that time, we were an experimental special project on Gamingforce Audio, and it would be a little more than a year before we relaunched as VGMdb.

It is interesting to reflect back over the last two decades, and examine how much our coverage has matured. Our scope broadened to include animation around 2009, as we re-branded to "The Music of Visual Arts and Games." The scope of our coverage would see further adjustment over the years, and while this has posed challenges at times, our central pillar has been and always will be game music. In parallel to this, our ontology has become steadily more detailed as we added a flexible artist crediting system that really glues together the album, product, and publisher pages.

There are more than 158,000 album pages on VGMdb, spanning over 3 million individual tracks, and almost as many artist credit links. It would not have been possible to catalog all of this information without the help of public editors, and in fact, there are 6161 individual accounts that have submitted data to VGMdb. We are eternally thankful for all of your contributions, and more so for being patient during the evolution of our more stringent requirements for sourcing and accuracy.

So, as we near our official 20th anniversary, we at VGMdb are excited about the future. There are some things moving behind the scenes that we are looking forward to sharing with you soon.
