When I first asked @ginaloughlin.com to work on Wax Heads, I think neither of us could've predicted that it would reach the heights that it has - the soundtrack to this game is profoundly delightful, blistering, bombastic, soaring and above all, personal.
Cannot wait for you to hear it next year ❤️

My main resolution for 2026 is to become even less forgiving and more hostile toward companies/projects using genAI. I don't give a fuck.

Concept art isn't an output, it's a process. It's a workflow of exploration, discovery, and theory. Concept art explores shape language, influences, motifs, etc. and along the way you develop rules which dictate the aesthetic.
The output of concept art isn't art, it's internal vision. Do the work!

I think the fundamental gap here is that non-creative people think that creative people make things for the end product, when in fact it’s the act of creation and not the end point that makes it worthwhile.

I first asked Gina about Wax Heads OST, she said she didn't really write lyrics or play guitar...
(plan was I'd try and do those...LOL)
BUT then Gina actually wrote nearly ALL the lyrics, learnt guitar and wrote INSANELY good songs!! So I am telling you:
YOU.ARE.NOT.READY FOR THIS SOUNDTRACK!!😭😭😭

thank you for all the love on this 🥺❤️
a fun lil thing about the Wax Heads soundtrack is that it kinda maps out my guitar journey
when i started working on this song i was working on octaves and the lil 'da-da-da' down up down thing in my lessons which is why they're heavily featured lol

here's a snippet of one of the last songs i've made for Wax Heads!!!
it's about something i'm super passionate about -- music not having to be ✨perfect✨ and being a thing of joy and expression and bringing people together
so i hope you enjoy my perfectly imperfect rendition 😌

especially annoying to see audio folks rave about how good a game sounds but ignore the fact that it uses AI voice
ALL audio matters and you should care about this!!!
play and praise games made by actual humans!! reject AI!!!

It bums me out that people would use AI generated voice lines on games.
Maybe I'm wrong in thinking this but I'm sure there's folks on those dev teams that could probably just do their best at VO, even if they're not the best, and it would be miles better than the computer just reading words?

Valve being privately owned and not publicly traded is 100% the reason they haven't shat themselves fatally.
Every publicly traded company ends up shitting themselves to death to get more and more profit at the expense of existing. Like a tumor.
