Hello World!

I’ve decided to start making Music Asset Packs!

     It has been just under a full year since my friend introduced me to the world of Game Jams by asking if I want to make a game together for the Ludum Dare. Back then I thought that we would make this game and it would be this one time fun experience and we could be happy with what we made. Well, we got hooked. It was so much fun and creatively fulfilling (and just as stressful) making our first game and in the past 11 months we have made 6 games for some of the biggest jams! What?! I could not have imagined this. Our teams have grown and we’ve had the joy of just creating and tailoring some of the most whimsical experiences.

     In any of our games there has been a heavily collaborative approach to our work and what we all want to create. We all chime in to the different aspects of a game in an effort to find what we all agree is the best version of this project. Still, responsibilities need to be delegated and I have mainly been responsible for Music, Sound Design, and Sfx. As a result I have heavily contributed to the story of our games as well. Over the past year we have had the honor of ranking highly in most audio/music/sfx categories(among others) if not getting #1 in those categories and we are humbled every day thinking about the reception of our work. As someone who has always wanted to pursue a future in game music more professionally I wanted to use this momentum I’ve been feeling to start making things that can be helpful to the community.

     I’ve started with this Free 8-bit Music Asset Pack to kick things off! It has three classic sounding 8-bit songs and I’ve included all of the stems for a total of 15 tracks. This gives the the developer the option to use any of the tracks or any combination of the tracks as long as they apply to the same song. It also gives the option to do adaptive or additive music for your games to have certain stems be linked to the musical elements! In this post as well as in the asset pack’s itch page there is a Soundcloud playlist that will let you listen to the three songs.

     If you like what you hear I hope you download it for your own personal or commercial products and please don’t forget to rate and comment on the pack! Make sure to follow my page because I plan to come out with more music assets soon that I know will be a great addition to any project. I like having fun making music in all genres and really enjoy writing fun lyrics for games so if you have any inquiries for custom music for your game you can contact me at DanzMacabreMusic@gmail.com
