New material in Spicy Meatball (Patreon)

I've been working with a guy named Cheese on various music and sound effects for a game called Spicy Meatball. This is a "first person text adventure", which is to say you use your mouse/keyboard/gamepad around to look and interact with an environment that is described to you with text and a little splash of color for good measure. It runs on Windows, Mac, and Linux, and I think you can even use a VR headset supported by OpenHMD!

Originally done for a game jam, I was contacted at the last minute for a soundtrack (really an intro song and two jingles) which I was able to slap together right before the buzzer. After awhile, we thought it might be cool if there were some sound effects. The whole ambiance of the game kind of reminded me of the heyday of point and click adventures with Adlib and Sound Blaster soundtracks, so I decided I'd go for doing everything in FM. I'm on a Sega kick so I did it with that, and I think I captured the essence of the era.

Spicy Meatball is totally free and was done to demo "icicle", a game engine that, well, does this sort of game. If this sort of thing interests you, there are some other prototype demos on the page, as well as an in-development game called Winter's Wake.

I'll probably toss the tunes up on bandcamp in a little bit, perhaps with a Cheesy (pun?) SFX reel... but for now I would encourage everyone to check out the game!
