𓆏 🗞️Small Press Release 📰 (For more context):

Coming off of the release of Questlike Pocket, SpriteWrench Studios began development on "Sunken Stones". In the game, you embark on a thrilling adventure as a fearless pirate captain in this captivating strategy role playing game inspired by "Into the Breach" and "Go". Navigate the treacherous seas, assemble a formidable crew and set sail to collect precious treasures in the name of the empire. But beware, for the ocean is envious of those who hoard her riches, and the terrifying denizens of the deep will stop at nothing to claim what's rightfully theirs. The game is available on Steam:

🏴‍☠️🐬🐠🏝️⚓🪨💎 🌴🥥🖤

Chase was tasked with trying to bring back the sound of the Caribbean for Pirates instead of perpetuating the Western and European sound of what Pirates have been in Hollywood, specifically the Disney film franchise, Pirates of the Caribbean. The strong thematic and historical association of where Pirates in the Caribbean originated has been lost until Chase took up the mantle to revive and incorporate the culture back into game music.

Welcome to 8bit Frog-Ribbit! (game soundtrack 'zine)

WELCOME TO 8BIT FROG-RIBBIT!! We're hopping with joy at your presence here. Not only are we the BEST magazine on Game Music and Sound, we are also the ONLY magazine on Game Music and Sound... well almost.

🐸🏆📀🎮📰🪷🪷🗞️

We aim to discuss examples of excellent work in videogame music and sound while promoting upcoming and rising practitioners of this specialised, intriguing yet often overlooked and undervalued field of creativity. 8bit Frog-Ribbit will be tracing the roots of, weaving metanarratives and anticipating the future of trends and experimentation in game music and sound in both the Indie and Mainstream videogame development scenes (and their interchange of ideas + flow of popularity) from early technological limitations to modern innovations including adaptive music and binaural sound. We’ll be diving into topics such as the influence of obscure vintage genres such as Lounge and Exotica on modern game music to the influence of game music on the contemporary music scene, including phenomena like the “Nintendoification of Jazz”. However this space will not be a mere case of “Old Man Yells At Cloud” to quote The Simpsons; for on top of voicing opinions on game music, this magazine strives to be a space to provide a voice to upcoming artists and help us help each other. This is a space for sharing industry insights (or indulging in a bit of healthy-spirited competitiveness.)

Game music and Sound is VERY IMPORTANT. One tends to think of games as an overall visual experience and the sound as secondary, however the sound and music is half of “the picture”, psychologically sometimes even more. Music and sound plays a huge role crafting the aesthetic and identity of a game, as well as creating immersion and heightening satisfaction (or even more the more irritable aspects of addictiveness) Hum just the first couple of notes of Super Mario Bros theme (by Koji Kondo) to a random group of people at a bus stop, and it’s highly likely that more than half will be able to sing the entirety of the rest of the melody, even if most are not gamers or in a demographic unassociated with gaming (perhaps even wanting to or starting to repeat it at the end if they do). We’re sure there’ll be something in this page for everyone, as videogame music is wonderfully diverse and eclectic (despite inevitable and appreciable occurrences of genre-ification and cliches). Everyone loves music in some form or another and can benefit by going beyond or expanding their comfort zone willingly. Whether you become an avid reader or skim the odd article every couple of weeks, your support means the world to us
