I love it! I am a punk rocker too, and have been working on a somewhat similar fakebit / punk fusion album for the last several months. very nice!
Seriously I had a big smile on my face when I saw this in the recently added art section, and my smile grew bigger still when I listened to your stuff!
I went straight to bandcamp and bought your album to support what you are doing
they look nice. your preview shows first frame as a blank screen though. you might wanna edit your gif so the first frame shows the characters, that way your preview will show people what they look like.
Acoustica Expanded Instruments (part of software pro studio upgrade)
Basic65
Bleep
Chip32
Dream64
DSK Virtuoso
DVS Guitar
EasternONE
Genny
Lethality
Magical8BitPlug
Medusa2
NES VST 1.2
ProtoPSG
PURE6581D
Retro Boy
Sonatina Orchestra
YMVST
(I may have missed some, those are just my go to instrument plugins.)
And the following VST effects:
Acoustica Effects (part of software)
Acoustica Expanded Effects (part of software pro studio upgrade)
AnarchyRythyms
FAT+
Homecorrupter
Pedals
Pitchproof
Shred Amp Simulator
Voxengo Amp Simulator
Voxengo Boogex Amp Simulator
XBass 4000L Bass Enhancer
(Again I may have missed some, these are just the ones I know I use alot)
I record with a mixture of playing a Keith McMillan K-Board Smart Keyboard and step sequencing in my DAW.
Almost all of these plugins are free, some are premium but came with my DAW. Some of the plugins do work with LMMS. I was using LMMS to start out, but the VSTs made it crash *constantly* so I upgraded to propriety software. VSTs still make the DAW crash (of course, what is making digital music without DAW crashing) but not NEARLY as much LMMS did, and I get some really cool sounds using Homecorrupter to bitcrush the instruments from Acoustica's pretty generous "built in" rompler instruments.
AND the older songs (first 10 or so) were made in bosca ceoil originally, then edited in lmms, then re-edited again in mixcraft. the versions that are on here and itch are the mixcraft versions, but the original music tracks for those old songs were composed in bosca ceoil using step sequencer.
i will be dumping more music soon, once the late fall jam is over
but feedback is still welcome, i'd like to know what people find "useful" and not just post stuff that "sounds good to me" but is of no utility in making games.
open source game engines/software get a bunch of money from a company than is in the nft business. from what it sounds like the company that donated the money is into using nfts for in game item type of thing, as medicine storm mentioned above, NOT for stealing assets and selling them. still interesting how it is involved with open source stuff.
i really like the character sprites here. size and animation wise it kind of reminds me more of zelda 2 for the nes than kid icarus, but the with the greek myth theme from kid icarus intact.
i personally love surt's nes and sms style tiles. incomplete and abandoned as some of them are, i would love to see more extended versions of them. i am not good enough at pixel art to do anything with them myself.
maybe i will win the lottery then i can commission some of the heavy hitters around here to work their pixel magic :p
