It's bandcampfriday! While I haven't released an album in ~2 years, two new albums will be out in 2026! ๐
In the meantime, here's a cute little OST I made for @adventureislands.bsky.social a while back that I'm still proud of. Go grab it! :)

I also wonder why I do this
Yo I'm bleep and I'm a composer and media producer open for short and long term projects! I've worked on over a dozen games including Milk Outside a Bag of Milk and Starstruck: Hands of Time. I've also worked on 100+ video and streaming projects.
Check out my work at bleep.moe or DM me for details!

LLMs hallucinate, & they hallucinate WORSE on topics we don't already know/write a lot about. This creates a huge accuracy gap.
This week I tested ChatGPT on Beethoven & Smyth to show how big this gap is & why it matters. It made up a LOT.

a picture of a Konami Python 2, which is composed of a literal, entire, retail PlayStation 2 console, case and all - exactly the same unit as you'd buy at a store. the PS2 is surrounded by some custom boards, and framed inside a metal box (meant to go inside an arcade cabinet). it looks ridiculously funny.
the Konami Python 2 will always be the peak of mid-2000s arcadejank to me
imagine being an arcade tech back then, and you finally receive the kit to upgrade your cab from DDR SuperNOVA to SuperNOVA 2, so you open the case to get at the disc drive, and you're met face-to-face with this:
I miss Baka Mitai, I miss everyone was just like Dame da ne dame yo dame nanoyo. Who would imagine we'd miss that stupid meme like this. It was truly internet
Had that happen with my latest game build when I submitted it to Steam for review ;_; They said artwork and videos seemed to be AI generated. Pointing the Steam employee to the game's credits and attaching a BG before and after it was filtered solved it. But it was still a weird feeling
My "Make Visual Novel Assets" submission is now up on itch! One of the "selling points" is that some of the tracks consist of multiple layers or building blocks, allowing you to arrange them depending on the individual needs of your project or specific scenes.

My #MVNA project is released! It comes with many art assets by wonderful artists to make immersive particle effects right away. I spent far too much time adding all sorts of movement options and customization to it, so it would mean a lot if you checked it out!

Cat print, special transitions, two more slash away effects and a new category of line transitions coming, thanks to your support!
I've been working on some shaders to pair with these transitions to add some style and fire to them. The financial support really helps, so thank you!
