The game I’m composing music for was featured in the IGN Xbox Showcase yesterday! How cool is that!

I’d love to share a bit of my backstory if anyone is interested. LMK!

I’ve been simply blown away by the amount of positive feedback we have gotten from the Woodo demo! Thank you to all who have played it, posted about it, and encouraged us along the way. It really means a lot to us!

I finally finished the trailer just today. You know, after finishing, you still have a lot of finishing to do. 🤣
Anyway, I'm waiting for the day I can share it with you! 😊
Sounds ON!🔊

If you’re an indie dev and haven’t heard of Chris Zukowski🧡, go for it! I’ve learned a lot from him about marketing and continue to learn more. He explains marketing in simple terms, making it bearable for indies. 😌

It’s been a lot of fun going back through old songs to share on here! Here’s one I made as a teenager called “Silent Loss”. It’s been edited down a bit to fit into 60 seconds.

It’s always a good day when your publishers are happy 😂

#indiegamedev #indie #gaming #indiegames
Today, we had a production call with our publishers. We showed them our progress over the last two months. In short: they’re excited, and we’re excited because of that! 😄
I’m exhausted. ☠️
It’s handy to have a good relationship with your publishers.😉

I can almost taste it!
It is 🥟Khinkali🥟— Georgian dumplings filled with spiced meat, usually beef or pork, and herbs. They are traditionally boiled, with a juicy broth inside, and eaten by holding the top knot and taking a bite to enjoy the rich filling. 😋

Here’s another old one from like 2002 when I used guitar pro to compose.

This one is called, “Beach”

A guitar student of mine requested to learn “Helena” by My Chemical Romance. That one really takes me back 😅👨🏻‍🦳

This is how much time we spent making the game full-time.
Also add in 2+ years of work from time to time.
And here we are... still a lot of work to do.
If you want to see how the game goes until release, I'll show you in a diary I've started here. With you. 💛

Hi, I'm glad you found me here and thank you for being around and supporting me and my game. 🤗❤️ I hope that in a new place I can create a small but close and warm community and finally stop worrying about likes and impressions. 😌

Hey, I’m Don Roberts, and I’m currently working on the music for the cozy puzzle game, Woodo.

I’m about a week into BlueSky now and I’ve been really surprised by how much easier it is to find other composers and musicians and connect with them!
Let’s get all the game composers here. Quote this and reintroduce yourself on Blue Sky so we can all find one another!

Hi! I’m Mason Lieberman, and I’m a composer and audio director who works on a lot of games and anime. I also do a fair bit as a recording player and artist, and love collabs ❤️

EarthBound is often thought of as a game that became a cult classic after being ignored or disliked when it came out. So let's look at every EarthBound review I know of from gaming magazines, especially what they thought about the graphics.

Been seeing other people post old music so I thought I dig some of mine out!

@edb87.bsky.social remember this one? The date on my old guitar pro file said 2001! 😱 I would have been 16 when I wrote this!
