Start a new JRPG.
Remembering to inevitably rage quit and restart once you realise you don't like where your choices have led and you'll complete it 'for real' this time.
Ah yes the ultimate develop experience.
-In hotel. In bed at 11pm.
-Watching YouTube vids. Eating wings.

What's more impressive than the collection is the condition they're in.
My old 3ds is hella crusty in comparison 🤣.
I'm Develop bound!! 🚄
Looking forward to catching up with old faces and new.
Come chat to me about that stuff our ears are designed for 🔊🎵
Or just to ramble on about MonHun!
Was nice getting to chat and catchup with peeps at the #aircon meetup.
Two quests done, next is prep for Develop!!
Zooming up to London for the end of #aircon meetup with @gameaudiolondon.bsky.social
I don't remember the sun being this bright though...I haven't hermited for that long right?
Late to this since I've been AWOL last few months. 😭
The trailer for a mod that I've been a part of came out recently.
👀
Been with these guys since the start of my journey into game audio and the influence they've had on shape my career going forward is a big one.
Some people call wilds 4U 2 so I decided to get this old thing working and give the og a visit.
I have a ticket for Games Meets Music tomorrow but now can't go, so if someone would like a free ticket please DM me and I'll email it over! I believe it's now sold out :)
👀 'Interesting' file naming seems to be a commonly shared experience 🤣😂
Similar to most people's reaction to finding out
'Welsh Buck Rarebit'
does not in fact include any rabbit. 😂

Cubase's arranger track and an abomination of a spreadsheet! 🤣🤣
Its just a figment of your imagination.
Game audio doesn't exist, your brain is just THAT good at coming up with stuff to fill in the gaps.
Oh my god who made the theme arrangement for 'THAT' #Arkveld fight. That in combination with the story context.
I don't think I've ever been driven to tears whilst hunting a monster in my 10 plus years playing #MonsterHunter...
Creativity and Productivity call for focus and discipline. 🦾
But so does the Wilds and that 5% drop rate for an effing Rathalos Plate. 🤣🤡
They've done a lot over the years to streamline that initial experience.
But I guess the 'labor of love' aspect needs to reflect from the player as well 😆.
MonHun is a journey.
Intensity of the music seems about right for working retail! 🤣😂
Love it.
Slight shake/vibrate of the enemy's health bar could be good.
Title art from "Tchia", by Awaceb, a BAFTA, Game Award, and G.A.N.G. Award-winning open-world adventure game set in a fantastical version of New Caledonia. I had the privilege of composing its original score, designing its playable ukulele and rhythm-game sections, and composing a dozen original songs in French and Drehu with the lyrical assistance of Marilou Lopez-Aguilera. I also designed and implemented the interactive score in FMod.
Title art for “For The King II”, by IronOak Games. A fantasy turn-based, tabletop-inspired game. I wrote a medieval/early music/renaissance-inspired score and worked with our own in-house Unity audio solution to implement it. It is currently nominated for three G.A.N.G. Awards for Best Music in an Indie Game, Best Original Song, and Music of the Year.
Title art for “Ambition: A Minuet in Power”, by Joy Manufacturing Co. A roguelike visual novel set in Paris on the eve of the French Revolution. I wrote hours of period music using a variety of historically-accurate ensembles, produced live out of piecemeal recordings recorded in home studios during the height of the pandemic, and implemented with sophisticated branching interactive paths in FMod to support the narratively-focused gameplay. We won an Indiecade Award for Excellence in Audio Design, and garnered three G.A.N.G. Awards nominations.
Title art for “Mythgard”, by Rhino Games. A mythologically-infused cyberpunk dystopian collectable card game, Mythgard won a G.A.N.G. Award for Best Original Soundtrack (and three other nominations), and features hours of cinematics and a custom-designed interactive music implementation solution that flexes from native-run executables on mobile and desktop devices to web-browser based play.
Hey, friends.
I know the world is ablaze, and my problems are minor, but I need to take a chance.
I love making music for games. 2023-2024 saw 5 projects I was working on get cancelled, and their studios shut down, and I haven't written a note since June.*
Got any games that need music?
#gameaudio
In need of a game audio, media composition/ orchestration lecturer or tutor remotely? I’d appreciate the referral :)
Hi #gamedev friends!
I’m naturally hyper-busy outside of my downtime. Working full-time but with flexible hours.
If you’d like someone to implement your music in a sophisticated manner, create music edits, or you need cues orchestrated, let’s chat!
Appreciate the share :)

Always gotta love catching shopkeepers on their way home for some last minute business. 🤣🤣
So a couple months ago the wonderful @submergedtapes.bsky.social asked me to scratch some horsehair on a wooden box.🎻
Madman went on to use it in this awesome trailer!!! 🥳🤯
🗡(Go wishlist it or I'll scratch you with boxed horsehair!)😳
This is a dedicated bit

Omg I get to sit down. 😭😭😭
I can keep my ankles!!!!
Time to stand for the next 3 hours to Swansea.
Gotta love our railways 😆
TFW "Can't end on a loss" type mentality kicks in....
Is it weird that I've discovered I have a better time mixing when I drop the volume in my headphones by about 8db first?
Or is this a sign that I've just had my DAC waaaaay too loud for the past couple years. 😱🔊
When I used to use 15m breaks I remember always thinking I could squeeze in a quick game of League 🤣🤣
Recent acquisition of factorio dlc + Emotional whiplash from arcane act 2 = Productivity forecast for the next week looking grim 🤡👽
