Re-introduction time!
I'm PH; all-in-one composer, graphics programmer and tech artist for games!
I have a huge love for RPGs, and write music going from purely orchestral to metal.
I enjoy most working close to the dev team so the music can be deeply tied to the game.
Here's my latest demo reel:

Matt is an awesome human being, definitely recommend if anyone's interested!
Hey! I'm looking for people to help me with game/puzzle design to make a demo for my game. This is a paid position but I’ve got a small budget right now so I can’t pay industry rates, but the goal is to use the demo to find a publisher. Drop me a DM if you’re interested!

A 9 years old video, but since I stumbled upon it for the first time today, I'm sharing it.
It is so much like that in video games too. People remember a game's music when it's bold.

For anyone interested in #gameaudio and #fmod specifically, I'd 100% recommend looking at the Celeste project and that stream from @regameyk.bsky.social.
Aimed at people already at ease with FMOD but wanting more.
It's amazing to have access to such ressources, for free.
I just love gamedev!

Visuals are incredibly beautiful, gameplay so smooth you want to explore everything and ... then there's the music.
My favorite soundtrack from Austin Wintory since Journey.
And it's Austin's birthday today, please go check out his music!

An excellent upcoming 2D JRPG that explores various themes such as exploration, adventure, growth and self-discovery.

Just finished Octopath Traveler (yup the 1st one, I'm only 8 years late to the party 😆).
What a beautiful, vibrant game! The HD-2D style is so well done!
The music style is equally amazing; produced like a modern orchestral score yet composed like an old-school JRPG!

Just finished Split Fiction with my partner and ... what a game!
Definitely not overhyped, it's as good as everybody say it is.
The gameplay is just so smooth and intuitive, each one of them must have required months of playtesting. Sometimes just for a couple minutes in game! 🤯

Earlier this month I participated in my first game jam, creating 𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐒𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐔𝐩: a platformer where you can't jump and with ... some additional twists and turns!
Also my first try creating some Super Nintendo music, repecting all the limitations so it could theorically run on the console.

Like many people, I just finished Clair Obscur Expedition 33!
What an amazing game, it scratched an itch I didn't know I had since playing Final Fantasy X!
More than anything, I love the BOLD choices the devs did.
The gameplay? BOLD.
The music? BOLD.
The story? Also very BOLD!

I just released my very first OST 😁
Is it perfect? Not at all. I'm still learning everything: composition, production, mixing, mastering.
Is it personal? Very, I just poured 15 years of loving and listening metal music into it 🤘.

Especially for systems that are deeply tied to audio middlewares (FMOD in this case) with random and stuff.

Pretty much done with Dreamscaper, had a blast with it! The gameplay loop is fairly solid and the difficulty on point for my tastes.
And of course, the music. Mood and tone so on point!
Made me realize I'm on a quest to play every single game @dalenorthmusic.com has scored, and I won't back down!
