I make visual novels! Also play them sometimes. Wish I had time for more of both. I also do a podcast and LPs, because I don't know how to stop myself.

me trying to explain to people that I got my start doing free art for developers who were posting their prototypes to Tigsource

oh yeah getting a game music career is easy, just obsessively compose one hour compos in a DOS program called impulse tracker for about 6 years, then you'll be ready when someone needs you to write music for movie tie in games on the DS and GBA

#i cannot emphasize enough how different the world is now compared to when i started

Just go to this website called twitter.com, and answer an offhanded tweet from someone you met once, looking for people he already knew personally who happen to know programming.

Easy.

yeah i tell people "don't look at me now. don't do what i did. it didn't go well. ignore the final outcome"

“Yeah, sorry, I don’t have anything useful to say, but I guess I could reminisce about the opportunities I had ten years ago which are explicitly no longer available to people in your situation.”

God I swear these days they expect 10-year-olds to be pirating FL studio if they want to make it anywhere in the industry

Okay but now I gotta know what those movie tie-in games were 👀

surasshu @surasshu3/5/2024, 4:08 PM

i can't say i remember all of them but some of the highlights include narnia on DS, eragon GBA, shrek superslam DS/GBA, a few harry potter games... maybe that is all of them haha. there was also stuff like, Sims 2 on DS, the jakks xmen game, which aren't movie tie-in games but they still have that vibe 😂... oh and a bit later, smurfs 2 on 360!

My brain And heart break for all the people younger than me who are like “I did software eng in college and no one’s hiring how do I get a job” like dude, not even that long ago that was THE major to do if you wanted to get minted right after graduating. All my friends laughed at me when I told them I WASN’T doing compsci like what the fuck

banneduser @banneduser3/5/2024, 3:57 PM

It’s fucked up cause it’s not their fault the companies are cheap outsourcing bastards

vaporware @vaporware3/5/2024, 4:16 PM

yaaaa. i mean even when shit was booming it was still rough for some people graduating with compsci. it must be crazy rn.

great osdev actually 🏳️‍⚧️@mothcompute3/5/2024, 7:36 PM

okay but impulse tracker is cool as hell actually. ive been playing around on and off with a few potential methods of porting it to (at least x86) linux

surasshu @surasshu3/6/2024, 12:49 AM

still using an IT clone (chibitracker) to this day!! i love it and i think there are some things trackers do so much better than any sequencer. ive even done the thing where i would track just one thing, render it out, and plonk it into a track, that's how much i prefer the level of control over expression in a tracker
