Parabellum Rain will be out at the end of next week!

We have been working on this game for half a year at this point, and it has become one of my biggest soundtracks yet (at 11 songs). I had to dig deep into my bag of tricks for this one, the unique style of the game is obvious from sight and I wanted the music to really be a part of that appeal too.

The game itself is a platformer with weather based gameplay. You will use your Umbrella to fight and explore using the rain. The city is yours to explore and meet many of the residents while you attempt to get to work. I'll let you get a feel for the rest once you try it.

In case you missed it, we also put up a trailer for the game a little while back (You can hear a few bits of the soundtrack in here, but it is barely scraping the surface). Since then we have tightened everything up and it is just about ready to go!

A second part to the announcement is that while this will be a full (and free) NG game, the team still has a ton of ideas and inspiration to continue, so they have set up a Kickstarter that will launch along with the game.

So if you end up enjoying this game and want to see a bigger and more in depth version, consider checking that out when it is live!

If you want to stay up to date on the project and when it launches, also feel free to join the discord server:

Hope to see you next week B>)

Just added my TERRIFYING WOLF sticker to my RedBubble collection, check it out if you are interested :)

Im making a song and later tonight i might draw a picture

As usual, I have amassed a monolithic collection of stickers this time around. They have (mostly) been added to THE BOARD.

See if you can find yourself! I wish I could remember who every single one came from but it was kind of a free for all on the table for some of them.

Unfortunately these bigger ones have yet to find a home as I think I'm running out of room. A second board seems to be in order. (The Philadelphia sticker is cheating I think because I bought it at the airport)

I also got this cool little print from @Croody which has joined my bulletin board of oddities.

Also on the board is my special keepsake from breakfast at a diner, where I started doodling scenes from around the room on the placemat. Later in the day @seven caught wind of where we ate and left a little message as well.

Now onto the photo dump. Since I barely took any photos on my phone, I would like to present you with the cooler way of capturing the moment, 2DS XL.

With the King @TeraVex. Good thing we just made a song together.

@Coby. Hmm this picture reminds me of this game...

@Bleak-Creep. Hmm this photo reminds me of the title screen of this visual novel...

Post dinner walk back to the convention crew. What a sunset we did witness @TeraVex @NickSenny @MechanicalMantis @seven @DeuceLeGoose

TeraVex and @ninjamuffin99. A lot of teeth

There were more but I'm out of space so I'll be keeping those for myself. Shoo! get outta here

Last but not least, I suppose I will share a few cool songs that kept me entertained on the long journey home:

I have stuck all the stickers I was able to procure.

See if you can find yourself :)

All my game soundtracks from 2023, now in one compilation.

Find it anywhere you listen to music, go play the games, and show some love to YuriKadry who made the amazing album cover.

Including music from Gutcorp, Maple's Maid Service, TrashKitty, Pico-Cross Collab 2023, CRAB JUICE, HOLY, SNEKMEK, Slippery Delivery, and a bonus track

Thank you for the support in 2023, on to the new year :)

As some may have noticed, outside of game soundtracks Ive got a SIDE ARC happening where Im experimenting with industrial music sounds and harsh/crazy sound design in electronic songs.

Here is the latest in that series :>)

Ive been cooking up a new album for a long time now, and a lot of the ingredients have also shown themselves in this track. Im just deep into the sauce pot.

As well as the song I decided to do a video, and this time put as much attention and care into it as the song itself, so I hope you enjoy that:
