overview of binary size of Rift Riff, more than halved from 1.8GB in total to 855MB
Rift Riff's audio guy @matthijskoster.com just HALVED Rift Riff's binary size!
we were already using Vorbis compression (file ext: .ogg) but found that setting the export quality to the lowest number possible barely made a difference in audio quality, yet reducing file size by 75-90%! #gamedev

Haha yes! Iโm imagining all grownup music made with these tunings now ๐น
Glad Iโm not the only one!
Manufacturers ruin the fun and logic of music-making for young kids. Why make unplayable instruments?
Turtle shaped xylophone for babies
I think in general, I am a positive guyโฆHowever, there are a few things I REALLY hate, like: out-of-tune baby instruments.
This cute little turtle, for example, has a totally off-key upper section, but the hardest part: the lowest note sounds the highest.
Although, I do like the eye being a bell!

Worked on some heavy sound design for this one! Love how layered it is: in your face / subtle atmospheric. ๐ฅ๐โ๏ธ๐๏ธ
It's still so amazing to me that this is all possible in 2D. Hurray for y-sorting! #godot #pixelart #indiegame #2D
The new Speech-to-Text feature from Pro Tools will be a game-changer for me!
โDid we record this?โ wonโt be a long, painful, time-consuming question anymore.
And thatโs not the only thing thatโs good about this update.๐

Still afraid about the Canva takeover, but I agree!
This exhibition is a full sensory experience โ including sound. My 3,5-minute soundscape takes you through the process of preparing a complete dish: from chopping and kitchen machines to handling fresh ingredients, plating, and pouring drinks. ๐ฝ๏ธ๐ง๐ง ๐ง๐ฅ๐ฅ
Systemprefs Mac for App Shortcuts: Notes -Strikethrough
As an Apple Notes power user, the one thing that always bugged me was the lack of a keyboard shortcut for Strikethrough. After running into it for the thousandth time, I finally looked it up โ turns out itโs ridiculously simple (see screenshot). Anyone else been there?
Such banger tracks made by the one and only @matthijskoster.com. Check it out and vibe to the summer weather with the Rift Riff OST ๐๐๏ธ๐๐น
As of popular request: Rift Riff's original soundtrack is OUT NOW!! Available on all streaming platforms today. And if you'd like to support further development of the game, consider getting it through Steam :D Made by musician @matthijskoster.com
Our son Otto is almost 6 months old! I thought it would be fun to celebrate it by naming a song after him. I made this piece of music in 3 hours, in a creative burst. Itโs playful, cheerful and headstrong. Just like Otto himself โค๏ธ

Just calculated all folders together. I guess I could work a little more economically, but it doesn't feel like all that much for a year of work.
This one will be out this Friday! play.mw.fm/rift-riff-or...
Learned something about ๏ฃฟMusic today: Apparently, you canโt use the abbreviation โOSTโ in your album title. I guess this is a stylistic choice they made? Went for Original Game Soundtrack instead. What do you think?
Love the artwork, canโt wait to release ๐
Rift Riff OST is in the works! Here's a mockup of the artwork (no vinyl planned yet :P). We'll be releasing it very soon as part of a bundle on Steam. Stay tuned!
