EXCLUSIVE: 2026 is shaping up to become one of the most nefarious years for video game layoffs. I spent the last couple of months asking game music composers a very simple question: how are you holding up? nowplaying.cool/how-indie-ga...

How Indie Game Composers Are Surviving the Layoff Storm

As 2026 shapes up to be another record year for video game layoffs, composers find themselves on the front lines. Feeling the squeeze, they open up about how they keep their heads above water.

that just sounds like life under capitalism…millions of workers in the global south already went thru this process and basically live as slaves in order to maintain our lifestyles…but that is not enough for capitalism, more profits and exploitation is needed and so our turn has come.

cover of capital but the title has been edited to say: i fucking warned you dude. I told you bro

HVB☆damifortune | new album out!!🪻 @samplemance.rs · 18/09/2026

my new emo chiptune album A PLACE TO KEEP YOU is out now!! <3 I'm taking my intricate, glitchy arrangements to new horizons! this is my first release with vocals - practicing songwriting has been hugely rewarding. this record blends live instrumentation with authentic chiptune (Gameboy, NES, SNES)!

the cover art for "A Place to Keep You" by Hunter Van Brocklin. it shows a small house with its porch light on, largely obscured by trees and shrubs except for the stairs leading up to it. a large apartment building can be seen behind it with several of its windows lit up. the artist and title text appear to the right in white with a big quotation mark next to them.

SIGNAL BOOST! @zirconst.bsky.social is looking for someone who can do good, original PSX/PS2-like sound design. If that’s you, reach out to him! :-)

Facebook post from Andrew Aversa:

I have a well-paying sound design (SFX) project I'm looking for a partner on, but the requirements are very specific. I'm creating sound effects in the style of late-era PSX and early PS2 games such as Final Fantasy X / Final Fantasy Tactics, as well as modern retro-styled games like Minecraft Dungeons. Think *heavy* use of noise manipulation, synthesis, and melodic writing to create all kinds of glitters, chirps, slashes, explosions, etc. without using ANY FOLEY whatsoever. Yes, everything must be created WHOLLY from synthesis!

If you have experience doing this, please reach out to me: aaversa@gmail.com I *don't* need to see or hear an entire portfolio or generalized demo reel. I *only* need to hear exact specific demos of sound effects in this style that you have synthesized from scratch. Huge bonus points if you can briefly tell me about your process / what tools you used (X synth, Y grain shifter, Z reverb) so I can get an understanding of your experience level.

Lastly, I'm *not* talking about 8-bit style SFX which are pretty different aesthetically. If you're not sure what I'm talking about, head over to the site in the comments and you'll hear what I mean.

p.s. This is likely a $10k+ project

Haven't posted much about gamedev for a while because, well, there was just nothing to show... Welp, here's something! At the moment it's little more than a graphics showcase, as I'm having to re-do this basically from scratch to accommodate for the VASTLY Improved new GB Studio version.

Quick little experiment with the Risa tracker for the NES, it's Necrofantasia from Touhou 7. Those auxiliary pulse channels are really doing work here since the harmony notes on the melody are such a big part of the sound of the original.
