Clearing off my plate and tackling old projects (Patreon)

A fantastic thing is kinda, sorta, finally happening.

I mentioned in my last post that I finished up a game soundtrack with nocturnalplant! That should be releasing sometime this year, at least we hope so. There have been some bugs to work out. Some of the tracks and sound effects would fire in the wrong places. We found out completely by accident that we were able to lock the game up on the gameover screen by hitting a button the game wasn't listening for, stuff like that. Anyhow, we're getting through most of that with the coders of the game, we've seen the (awesome looking) cover art commission, and I'll share more when we're allowed to talk about it.

I also mentioned I had to write 12 more tracks for Beatdown City! That was quite a ride. I didn't get them done in time. Turns out there was a little more time, though, and I did get them done. I'm really proud of these tracks and this soundtrack in general - I was asked to do stuff like "chicano metal" and "kung-fu reggae dancehall" on a NES and I feel like I did a decent job. If you're a Patron at sneak preview tier or above, you can get a sample of what some of these tracks are like by hitting the appropriate channel on the Inverse Phase Discord. Don't forget that if you own the game now, the update to the game will be free and you'll get all the new content when it happens. I'm also working to get a soundtrack ready to coincide with the update.

Oh, and there's a new trailer BTW.

I'm not going to jinx myself and say "this is the year", but after I finish some basic work to supplement my income and make good on some promises, I plan to work on the Biteration I cartridge and get that out. For the love of all that is holy, it has taken so long to get this done, I now have a programmer (both the person kind and the cartridge kind), and the hardware to program. I need to sit down and put some spit and polish on the graphic assets and get them into the final product, buy some cartridge shells, put them in cases, make a slipcover and a manual, and get them out. If you're reading this and you were on the original print run, thank you so very much for your patience, I will make some extras if I can and they will go out to physical item tier patrons when they are complete, and album-level patrons will get a download of the tracks when I release it.

After that, I want to do a few things for Bloop Museum, and also resume work on CTM and the synthesizer.

If you're jonesing for more conversation, won't you join us over on Discord? Follow these instructions to get on.

Sorry, no pictures this time, other than the meme 😅
