It’s been ten years since I wrote and had this piece performed by the Dublin Philharmonic Orchestra on their world tour in 2016. I’m so grateful my piece was selected to be a part of their repertoire! 🎻 #orchestra #music

It's more of a percentage/time-based! The two tracks are different tempi so if I transition at 25% of the way in Farm state, it will go to 25% of the way in Restaurant 2. It's not important for me to know the exact bar number, just that it doesn't always start at the beginning.

100,000 wishlists... exactly one month before launch~ It feels unbelievable as we're just a married duo making the game on our own. Every plant, asset and feature has been made by us with lots of care, so seeing so many plant lovers genuinely interested in our tiny game is incredibly heartwarming 💚

🌟 BIG ANNOUNCEMENT 🌟 I had the absolute honour of working on a game from a franchise close to my heart - Barbie Rewind from Atari and Digital Eclipse Entertainment Partners! This was a blast to work on and make powerful feminine pieces of music!

I'm working on the adaptivity of gameplay music in FMOD and it has a total of 562 trillion different ways it can be played 🤓 Meaning if you were to listen to every possible combination it would take ~17.8 million years 💀

Thank you so much 😭 You are completely utterly kind and have just made my whole week by your comment Creative work is so competitive! So it feels impossible to land a gig in this industry no matter what level you’re at. Thank you for acknowledging the hard work it takes, mixed in with a bit of luck
