Happy Monday, Devs!

If you're still on the fence for my offer don't be. I have your best interest at hand. I want you to succeed and I am in it to uncover problems that you can solve for your future game player audience can enjoy. The people I have helped in this thread have at the least engaged with me and you can read their gratitude for the things I uncovered for them. I hope to help more of you too.

Happy Developing!

Great! I am glad that you received it. You're very welcome.

Weird indeed. I tried sending it again just now.

Awesome! Wishing you some great sales ahead :)

Hi,

Having play-tested your game before, I think the price could be dropped by $1.00. You're up against a market that is very competitive where some developers charge the same and has slightly better art and smoother game mechanics. Video games are very visual so if you are not capturing people with graphics first then, you are mostly at a disadvantage and game players are mostly very cheap and there is a business mindset disconnect. Most developers do not want to invest in proper assets or contractors but want game players to invest in their game.

It's not always about the amount of levels or content, it is about the presentation. Your game has to look fun for people to want to give their money and unfortunately they will not know the fun until they play it.

I believe with some better art assets and some more polish, this game could be priced at $5.00. I deeply believe games should be priced higher to keep the value of art sustained but I will keep it relative to your question at hand.

I hope this helps.

Thank you kindly for the reply. Yea, I have done scores for tabletop games before. Players have enjoyed it. If you're interested, let me know. I have some cool ideas.

Happy Monday, Devs!

Happy Saturday!

Sav’saaba!

I'm pleased to share a new composition for developers to use for their Folk - Fantasy (Fifth / Sixth Generation Retro Console) composition or what they feel the music will fit best for their project. This is a non-exclusive license.

About the composition

Imagine walking through a dense tropical forest in the evening, insects swirling around your head, and as you reach out to spread the last layer of foliage aside and make your exit, an outlandish town stands before you, with the setting sun directly behind its buildings and roads. Walking alone through this newfound oasis, you pass shop windows, street vendors and chefs, all offering a variety of unfamiliar wares and foods. As you take it all in, a smile grows on your weary face, and you know you'll be comfortable staying here for a good amount of time, if not permanently.

A Retro piece that fits on platforms like

• PlayStation

• N64

• Dreamcast

• PS2

• Panasonic

• Goldstar

• Sega Saturn

• XBOX

• GameCube

If you're a developer, this music could work for games like :

• Grandia

• Suikoden

• Final Fantasy (VI,VII, VIII, IX)

• Wild Arms

• Lunark

• Flashback

• Fable

Deliverables

It comes as [WAV] for trailer uses and OGG loopable for game development implementation. Preview listens are available. Non-Exclusive License for the track is below.

For obvious NDA reasons of previous clients mentioned in the AAA and some independent games, I am unable to showcase all the play-test work, but I do have one game, I can share. You can view that here https://we.tl/t-GBbHVtcwaw

I look forward to collaborating with you and your project!

On the Peril of Parrots is a puzzle game that was in Steam Next Fest / Steam Puzzle Fest  , Black Voices in Gaming February 2023 and THE MIX Showcase Online and at GDC 2023 that is being developed by SpriteWrench. 

On the Peril of Parrots is a game where you Take control of P.O.L.L.I (Procedural Operating Layered Linguistic Intelligence). 

Complete over 100 challenges to certify your reasoning and problem solving ability. Work with "The Scientist", "The Assistant", "The Money" and other characters, to prove that you are a SUCCESS.

The “On the Peril of Parrots” soundtrack adds a new dimension to puzzle games! Featuring six tracks, written in the style of Bossa Nova that perfectly complements the game’s challenging puzzles. 

The soundtrack is a skillful blend of a cool and mellow atmosphere that allows players to focus on the game's intricacies as they solve more than 100 puzzles throughout the game.

Each track is carefully crafted to compliment the game-play in a meticulous manner to tantalize the player. It stays honest to the Bossa Nova genre while introducing some modern 21st century composition techniques and sonic textures.

I am glad to hear that you like the idea! Some procedural generation would be cool. I still love the design as is too.

Thank you for checking out my work and the compliment. I added/messaged you on Discord. gamercomposer#5669. Looking forward to talking soon.

I like the game. The controls feel really good. It would be more cool to add little flag markers for points or just for scenic purposes. Ramps would be great too!

I'd love to offer some music for this to liven it up a little. If you're interested, let me know.

Blantree is the "snape" of Stardander - the students dislike him (and he dislikes the students) and everyone always thinks he's the culprit, when he's not. Beneath his grumpy exterior, he's actually quite kind and has just had a hard life and been hurt too many times to trust humans.

The music for this character reflects his personality and how his interactions with the students impact their decisions.

Stardander School for Witches is a visual novel RPG being developed by Fancy Fish Games which you can wish-list on Steam.

As you gear up for Global Game Jam 2023 I'd like to re-share my keynote which I was honoured to do this year. I hope it gives some inspiration for your next jams. If you dig it, please pass it along to other game developer collaborators. Thanks for watching in advance. ☺️

wonderful game! It reminds me so much of a beloved titles, Risk - World Domination and Kessen on PS2! You did a great job with the balance of mechanics! 

I was also wondering, do you have a composer for this? I’d love to do some dynamic music that ties to the battles changing seamlessly between strategic and combat mode. I have idea to interweave musical Spanish combat and Aztec elements. 

I’m the composer of Aztec Ride, which the number one game in Ludum Dare 47 and was nominated for a Pocket Gamer Award. Check the video below.

If you’re interested in discussing more my discord is gamercomposer#5669. If not and you have someone on the team covering that, all good. Happy Developing all the way! 

Thank you! 

Thank you kindly for your inquiry. Unfortunately, this is not a license that works that way. If you wish license a specific track from the soundtrack you can reach me via email chasebethea [at] gmail.com

Thank you kindly for taking the time to come back and share you thoughts as well as compliments. I need to go back and play the Digimon World game now. Thank you for listening and specifying your favourite track too. I very much appreciate it.

Super cool! Love the story. Love the animations especially with the fire attack and when the robot dies. The Dash was hard to do. I could not figure it out. Solid Level design and music too!

Great job! It reminds me of the original!

Awesome game concept! Loved it! Nice work! Super Unique. This could be a fun mobile game
