And the soundtrack!! 😍

Yeah I also searched for that, and considered how difficult it would be to write a simple one myself. Never got around to it though

Hey Sergio.
Thank you - and yes, the Cocoon soundtrack on Steam includes lossless WAV files.

Pretty intense run! It's been a few years since I proper played THOTH - what a strange artsy arcade game that became 😅 Both THOTH and 140 is 40% off on your new Switch. www.nintendo.com/us/store/pro...

That Fletch soundtrack is a deep cut! I remember listening to that when it came out

You welcome! They are coded from scratch in C++. I'm not using any third party code except JSON parsing and imgui/SDL for the standalone test app. I'm using Visual Studio as IDE.
March 25, 2025 at 8:16 PM
Yes, and it actually got applause from the GDC audience! 😅 I haven't published those videos anywhere yet though. Maybe I could put them on my YouTube channel
