In 2018, @sanatanamishra.bsky.social showed me a prototype of what was to become @tempopogame.com. This was while I was working on @unpackinggame.com. 7 years later, and I'm proud to say @witchbeam.com.au has launched TEMPOPO!
WOOT!
It's on Steam, Xbox Gamepass & Switch!

something I think is interesting about @witchbeam.com.au is we've always made our own trailers
for Assault Android Cactus we cut 8 different trailers (!!!) which is way too many
so I thought I'd do a thread celebrating our hubris! 🧵

Trying out this wireless midi kit and I have to say, I’m quite impressed. I left the click going so you can hear the lack of latency.

Had a listen to this today and it really is one of the best covers someone has done of a song of mine. If you’re into the Cactus music, this guy does an incredible interpretation (with some amazing piano skills & arm hair). I wish I could play like him…

A lazy Sunday servicing my Space Echo. Replaced the tape, but now it doesn’t sound great, so I think I need to tweak the tension on the pinch wheel 🤞😅

Happy Switch 2 day!
We checked, our Switch 1 titles run great!
Assault Android Cactus+ and @tempopogame.com both benefit from faster startup times and look real nice on the bigger screen.

TEMPOPO music needed to be upbeat and cheerful. Composing forced me to be in a good mood for about 7 years 😅. Got my dancepop on, fired up the synths, even wrote lyrics. Recorded family singing, a blast all round. OST is out now! Steam & Bandcamp version have 91 tracks with extra instrumental mixes!

I've been working on @tempopogame.com's UI for the past year. It's been a pleasure working for Witch Beam again, and the whole time I've been keen to do some Unpacking crossover fanart. With the project wrapping up I finally had some time to do it! Check out Tempopo on the 17th! #pixelart #gamedev
