My first ever video game as a dev. Only about 5-10 mins long, but was a good start to my learning journey.

Captains Log, Stardate 42 BBY. The Stargate has taken us to a desert planet called Arrakis, where the local tribesmen calling thmselves "Darleks" have prepared us a meal to celebrate what they call "life day" and show us holographic images of dancing beings.

Alot of hate for AI these days, but ChatGPT taught me more about Unreal Engine 5 blueprints than any youtube tutorial or online course. In two months (100 hours maybe) i can now correct ITS mistakes. Still a long way to go though... #UE5 #UnrealEngine

So the Switch 2 in the UK is STILL technically more expensive here than in the USA. Given the Tariff Wars raging stateside, probably a strong indicator just how Broken Britain is. Sorry for the politics. I avoid it till it hits gaming. Video game music posts resume now...

Here's a piece I wrote thinking of those uber patriotic 90s action films like Armageddon and Independence Day. Slightly somber but a dust of cheese if i do say so myself. #gamedev #indiedev #composer #freemusic

Any #composers out there got any advice on breaking into video game soundtracks?
