ahh thank you!!! :D

i use Ableton Live and Cubase for music production, and i've used a few different software/frameworks for games (GameMaker and Unity mostly, but also some messing around with PICO-8 and Godot). for the music, most sounds are virtual instruments (played with a MIDI keyboard—i'm a pianist originally), but i also sometimes record my taiko instruments!

most sfx are my own recordings (which are honestly just me throwing ideas at the wall until something sticks; i'm more of a composer than a sound designer, haha). some are edited samples from elsewhere (e.g. packs purchased on itch.io) or a combo of own recordings + sourced sounds.
