I released my first music pack today! 🎉 The first unit sold before I even had the chance to finalise the sales page. It's probably just a fluke, but please excuse me while I go celebrate! 🥳 janinendlmusic.itch.io/helio… #gamedev #indiegamedev #gameaudio #soundtrack

This week I managed to finish a track for Dark Light, joiner the Unity Game Jam and rescored the main theme for Ocarina of Time. Super productive but I’m about ready to call it a week #gamemusic youtu.be/34FMxr_NMzQ

Played with the #zeldaocarinaoftime today. Still very much a WIP but might finish tomorrow.

Loadout / Map Room cue. Enough layers built-in to loop in the background while you make your choices, then kicks up when it's time for action. #indiegamedev

Not sure why but I had this idea that a space ambient soundtrack should feel like discovering a wild jungle. Or desert. Or both at the same time. This track is called Pulsar. #indiegamedev

“How hard is it to get a good build?” Out of my three runs today, this was the weakest one. Free demo on Steam! #roguelike #indiedev

After yesterday’s post someone asked if I was going to go full DnB for higher intensity combat on this track. Don’t know enough about DnB to do it justice, but I tried something else. How’d I do? #indiegamedev #gameaudio
Finished arranging this cue today. Built in enough layers to take it from ambient -> tension -> light combat pretty seamlessly. The tension part isn't really audible in this version (linear versions are built different), will have to properly demo inside a game engine once I release the music pack. #indiegamedev #gameaudio

Late night cooking session. Improving my track player playground in Unity to something a little more visual. Decided to keep the music intensity controls console-based so it’s easier to explain what’s happening. #indiegamedev #gamemusic

Super short score I developed the score for a game jam. 4 intensity stages (based on the pollution meter), a soft intro and an ending stinger. Took a fair bit of inspiration from games like Mini Metro and Civilization. #gamedev #indiegamedev YT link: youtu.be/1KOtjTXj-rw

A short battle rescore demo I did a while back. Based on a simple loop and a hero theme after enemies start swarming toward the end. youtube.com/watch?v=eqp3PbqJ… #gameaudio #divinum #indiegamedev

Finally got around to building a test engine in Unity for my music packs. This will help me figure out exactly what the stem structure should be, how well the loops work and do some demos of how to mine a music pack for more value. Adaptive music is such an exciting thing! #gameaudio #indiegamedev
