I've finished my game for this year's Yuri Game Jam, Miaobot Zero! It's a short Gameboy Color shmup with a cool robot cat, strange girlfriends, and multiple endings.

You can download it or play it for free in your browser on itchio (mobile phones are supported too)! https://lydianchord.itch.io/miaobot-zero

The soundtrack is available on Bandcamp: https://lydianchord.bandcamp.com/album/miaobot-zero-soundtrack

In addition to Her Tears Were My Light, this year is also the five-year anniversary of KAIMA's release, so I made a new PC-98 battle theme for SEARINA (and also this pixel art)!

Here’s the link to the song

It's been five years since I wrote the music for Her Tears Were My Light by NomnomNami! To celebrate, I made a Game Boy arrangement of a hypothetical battle theme I previously wrote for Space (and made this pixel art of her).

You can listen to the song here!

[lydianchord]

I made a remix of Shifting by NomnomNami ft. Eleanor Forte!

[lydianchord]

I made an NES cover of K.K. Technopop from Animal Crossing (also drew a pixel version of the album art)

Also, since I haven’t posted here in a while, here are some other things I’ve made recently:

An HTML5 port of Dress Treat by NomnomNami (was originally in Flash) - https://nomnomnami.itch.io/dress-treat

After the End with Miaobot (a short Bitsy game for Friendship Jam) - https://alexh.itch.io/after-the-end-with-miaobot

An album of my chiptunes - https://lydianchord.bandcamp.com/album/chiptunes

[lydianchord]

I made a short NES arrangement of Gazing at Sirius (the ominous version of Rhea's theme)

[lydianchord]

I guess I’ll keep uploading finished songs here for now (but follow me on Twitter if you want since I’m more active there). Here’s my English SynthV cover of Candy Candy by Kyary Pamyu Pamyu with a very cute illustration of Eleanor Forte by NomnomNami

Lyrics:

In my desk, my pockets, and my backpack too Tucked away, a wide array of hues All the time, I carry them so I can grin But there are so many kinds to choose Bit by bit, it only takes a bit and then Blissfulness begins to bloom in me Float into a fluffy field of fragrant sweets Let's let go and just live our lives carefree

Candy candy candy candy candy Sweetie sweetie girls' love Chewing chewing chewing chewing chewing Cutie cutie chu-chu-chu chewing love Candy candy candy candy candy Sweetie sweetie girls' love Chewing chewing chewing chewing chewing Cutie cutie so candy love

This or that, a ton of flavors and they're all Marvelous, so let me be enthralled I have no free time to take your dull requests I don't care how many times you've called 'Cause, because, I'm just a busy girl, I guess And I'm on an endless sugar spree Float into a fluffy field of fragrant sweets Let's let go and just live our lives carefree

Candy candy candy candy candy Sweetie sweetie girls' love Chewing chewing chewing chewing chewing Cutie cutie chu-chu-chu chewing love Candy candy candy candy candy Sweetie sweetie girls' love Chewing chewing chewing chewing chewing Cutie cutie so candy love Candy love candy love Candy love candy love Candy love candy love Candy love candy love Chu-chu-chu chewing love

Candy candy candy candy candy Candy candy candy candy candy Candy candy candy candy candy Sweetie sweetie girls' love Chewing chewing chewing chewing chewing Cutie cutie chu-chu-chu chewing love Candy candy candy candy candy Sweetie sweetie girls' love Chewing chewing chewing chewing chewing Cutie cutie candy love

Also, if we’re mutuals here or on any other site and I’m not already following you on Twitter for some reason, just yell at me and I will. Even if we’re not mutuals, if you’re a creator of any sort, there’s a decent chance I’ll follow you back.

In light of recent news, here’s a reminder that I do most of my posting, including sharing music WIPs, on Twitter: https://twitter.com/LydianChord

Of course, you can still find my music on the following pages since I’ve always used other sites to upload finished songs:

twitter etiquette for new users

replying is how you make friends! reply to anything you want and be friendly. don’t make rude jokes if you’re not friends already though!

quote retweeting is a no-no. when you “retweet with a comment” it’s not liked by content creators because it makes a new tweet out of their tweet and they don’t get the likes and retweets they would get if you’d just retweeted it straight up. if you want to comment on a retweet, reply to it or post a new tweet starting with “LRT” which stands for “last retweet” (it’s fine to quote retweet dumb memes and so on.)

you can make your tweets private. this means no one but your followers will be able to see what you post and no one will be able to retweet your content.  you can switch back and forth between private and public at will. some people make a separate private account to tweet personal stuff and let mutuals follow it only. it’s a good way to keep things separate.

what is privatter? privatter is a third party web app that content creators can allow to be attached to their twitter. it lets them tweet content that they can make exclusive to logged in users, followers, mutuals, or a specific list of users. as long as you are logged in to twitter and fall into the intended category, you’ll be able to see it. 

you can mute people you follow. (and those you don’t, ofc.) you can also mute words and phrases and entire conversations. if you mute someone you follow and they reply to you, that reply will still show up in your notifications. it’s a good way to keep the peace!

you can limit notifications to people who follow you or to mutuals. (notifications from people you follow will still show up regardless of which option you’ve selected.)

miscellaneous tips and warnings: if you accidentally unfollow and refollow someone, it won’t show up in their notifications as long as it’s within a couple minutes. no more accidental stuff. everyone can see who everyone follows so watch out. people will know if you unfollow. if you want to report someone and want them gone forever, report a tweet where they used a curse word. screenshotting tweets for harassment is a no-no and can get you banned. don’t be lame. don’t be a dick. vaguing others is generally really bad form and so is complaining about content within a fandom you’re in. use the mute tools at your disposal and don’t be a spoiler. you won’t come back from a rep like that and everyone sees everything.

that’s it! happy tweeting!!

I made an English Synthesizer V cover of LOL -lots of laugh- by mikumix! Thanks again to @adirosa for the art!

Lyrics:

I'll give you lots of laughs You'll give me lots of laughs I'll give you lots of laughs You'll give me lots of laughs

I left my laptop lying on the floor In my bare feet, I dashed out the front door It was already well into the night "Where am I?" I wondered underneath dim street lights A strange pink rabbit came to me and said "Have you become lost? No need to fret" It took my hand, and then to my surprise As it led the way, I quickly shrank in size!?

Monogram world, I'm leaving you soon So "bye-bye" is all I'm going to say to your gloom This platonic force is everything to me Or at least that's how it seems to be? Lots of laughs Chocolate-coated bathtub delight Fresh cream bubbles surrounded me, I stayed inside And I slept so well, I can't help but L-O-L

I'll give you lots of laughs You'll give me lots of laughs

The falling raindrops here fill me with glee Tickling my tongue, they're just like sweet, sweet candy A fruit tart sofa temptingly invites Me to sit and gaze up at the morning moonlight Dreams don't stay dreams when I'm in this bizarre Digital world that I can't discard I simply have no effort left to give I've made my choice! This is where I will live!

Heartbeat racing, I am overwhelmed Living in this moment, I can forget my past self Dull and lifeless words, once just making a fuss, Will tear through their suffocating husk! Lots of laughs Pancakes with caramel sauce I scarf them down and finally feel real as I pause For a short spell, I can't help but L-O-L

I'll give you lots of laughs You'll give me lots of laughs

Monogram world, I'm leaving you soon So "bye-bye" is all I'm going to say to your gloom This platonic force is everything to me Or at least that's how it seems to be? Lots of laughs Chocolate-coated bathtub delight Fresh cream bubbles surrounded me, I stayed inside And I slept so well, I can't help but L-O-L

Made a FamiTracker cover of The World Revolving (Jevil's battle theme)

[lydianchord]

(Deltarune spoilers) Some of Jevil’s lines are apparently from the Loose Clown LINE stickers, so I remade the two relevant stickers with Jevil for some reason

[lydianchord]

Working on a SynthV cover of Don’t Forget from Deltarune

[lydianchord]

I made a vocal arrangement of the New Bark Town theme from Pokemon GSC using Synthesizer V! Thanks to @adirosa for the art!

Lyrics:

We began our journey in a tiny town Where gentle winds of new beginnings blow With hope and great anticipation We headed west down the road

Taking a glance back at the shore We wondered what could be in store

Although we both have grown a lot since then And made new steadfast friends along the way I can't forget our first adventures there Enjoying those simpler days

We had no doubt we would succeed Making our way at our own speed

[lydianchord]

I made a vocal version of Space's theme from Her Tears Were My Light by NomnomNami​, featuring Eleanor Forte!

Lyrics:

Sitting here, I'm in this empty place I wait alone My starry tears illuminate my face But darkness surrounds their glow

Could there be someone else In this world of silence? I would sob cheerfully We could be best friends

Sitting here all by my lonesome No one in view I tap a beat and I begin to hum A strangely familiar tune

Will someone hear my voice Lilting through this vast void? If someone would appear I'd be overjoyed
