🎵 One of my favorite bits of sound design in INVENTORIX was the money “kaching”

I made 11 short synth hits tuned to a dominant pentatonic scale - small payouts trigger single notes, big ones play short melodic “kaching lines” 💸

sometimes the creators of your childhood favorite games refuse to re-release or remaster their 20yo game despite it being a massive success at the time and you just have to take matters into your own hand 😌

Congrats to Timon and to the entire @metaroot.bsky.social team! 🥳

This is wild! 📈🔥
When we started publishing games 1.5 years ago, we jokingly said: "We'll have made it when we're featured in the GameDiscoverCo newsletter." 😂

It's an honor to see Timon's great game and us in there! Thanks, @gamediscoverco.bsky.social, for the coverage!

🎵 Musical transitions shape how a game feels.

In Inventorix, I timed every Wwise playlist switch to musical phrasing - bar or beat - so transitions sound natural and intentional, not jarring.

Small timing details make the score breathe and feel alive. 🎶

Many #indiedev think audio middleware is “only for AAA.”

On Inventorix, it was just the dev & me. I still chose #Wwise. Not for flashy adaptive music, but for
🎛️ a clean workflow
⚡ fast iteration
🎵 room to grow

Even a small team can benefit from middleware.

For #cubase users: if you want to set up a key command for 'Soft Quantize On/Off,' it’s listed as 'Iterative Quantize' in the Key Commands menu. Took me 9 months to figure this out. Thanks, #steinberg! 😂

🎶 New collab with a fantastic artist who goes by Nobodi - she wrote/sang the topline, I produced the track.

Sync-focused, but always feeding back into my game audio work too.

Super excited to share my new article on the Audiokinetic blog! 🎉

I wrote about how we approached music, sound design, and Wwise implementation for Inventorix, a two-person indie project.

Release in ~10 days = the key scammers arrive right on schedule.

They probably have timers set from SteamDB.

Reminder to fellow #indiedevs: check who you’re sending keys to, or better, don’t send at all unless verified.
