Accidentally did a slow Giant Steps in Lydian at 180 bpm lol 👣
The reveal trailer song I've been writing over the past two days is as much of a challenge as I feared.
Trying to juggle gameplay with composition in roughly 1 minute is tough. It's also going to be less of a genre crossover.
Anyway, it'll be energetic and exciting so please look forward to it! 🙏

Glad the performance discourse is happening but it does make me feel a little crazy because like. "Let's target 1080p30 on Deck" isn't a new idea, Steam Deck hardware has been the same since it came out.
Maybe it's prompting people to consider performance upfront in a way we've been trained not to?

Here is the full version of the intro sequence I made for the latest highlight video! It's a recreation/parody of the iconic Stranger Things opening. Made in Blender over the course of a couple days.
Thank you to @echolox.com for providing the excellent background music!

@shrinefox.com edited this and made a kickass intro visual. So I chipped in the appropriate music 🎶

I look back fondly on the time I scrobbled to last fm from foobar. All through my obsessive phase with GWAR, diving into Depeche Mode and discovering lots of small indie bands.

2002: Last.fm and Audioscrobbler Herald the Social Web
Following in Amazon's footsteps, two student projects independently use 'collaborative filtering' to bring recommendations and social networking to online music; soon they will join forces.

Turns out what I needed was a bit of that "12PM is noon, not midnight" flavor to make things work.
It'll never stop being amazing how some intuitive concepts can be devilishly difficult to implement in code while some other mind-bending stuff can be expressed in elegant one-liner solutions.

You know you've complicated things when a simple add/subtract expression for switching between tracks turns into this kind of procedure and it's 100 lines long.

In 2025 I rediscovered my love for music💙🧡
I felt stuck in the style that I considered "Echolox". And even if I had new tunes, where would I put them? What's the point of releasing anything in today's landscape?
Working on my rhythm game was an opportunity to try out totally different genres.
