Had to uninstall Teams from my laptop for the third time this week because it had reinstalled itself yet again and started running in the background. I swear to god I'll be finding remnants of it in my backed up files ten years from now like it's a disabled worm

Unfinished cover of the Uka-Uka boss theme from Crash Twinsanity, made last October. I didn't really know how to make the bridge part sound good so I lost motivation and never replaced the scratch guitar tracks with better ones after actually practicing the song, lol

Anyone know of a good tab engraving tool, maybe something that could also be used to translate guitar tabs to note engravings? I've always sucked hot ass at reading and writing scores but I kinda need to learn that if I want to write down my guitar ideas

I will appear along with about two dozen other artists on a Gimmick! tribute album, organized by @gamegrooves.com!

Open for preorders now, and will be available fully this weekend. All the proceeds from the album go to the Gastric Cancer Foundation.

Sorry for this spam, but we still need more responses! On one hand, the form closes tomorrow, so you won't have to see it for too much longer. On the other, the form closes tomorrow, so your pressing need to be heard by indie developers may go unfulfilled for the rest of your life unless you act now
RESPONSES (and shares) APPRECIATED!

We need some info on the games we're making. It's not that I think the games aren't cool, I just don't always trust the voices in my head that make me do things. So please let us know if any of these ideas sound like something you want
