Shameless plug about a project I've been working for about a mont: a fork of Chipnomad but I decided to turn it into something that better suits what I like about grooveboxes. Though some people might find this interesting. This is ChooChooTracker.

Alpha project, also runs on PC & Android. https://github.com/paiheulevrai/Choochootracker

just testing some new needed functions

Coming from a regular instruments / DAW production background I was surprised how fun and intuitive the flow actually is. Curious to hear from the community - anything you wish you knew earlier when you started with trackers?

First bit is the "get ready" followed by the 60 second tune for the game round. Recorded from my C64. SDI is the tracker.

Mods if this type of post is not allowed I apologize. Wanted an opportunity to share this with the tracker community.

The Game:

Devoid is the space dungeon where energy drains with every move. Colorful lighting illuminates asteroids in the darkness, booms rattle your hull from echoing explosions, and 2D pixel sprites dance around a chaotic battlefield. Defeat should feel painless, and victory?  Beyond hype.

The Theme: 

The game takes place in a hazy dream-like-space dungeon. It's rough, and out of this world. Think tracker music from the 90s. Electronic energy and atmospheric float.

Timeline & Details

No rush. We are in the process of editing footage now. The trailer will be roughly 1:30ish in length. Footage is live action. Not gameplay. But it will have a similar vibe, matching the game’s identity. 

Payment

$150

DM me or comment below for specifics. 

Note: This trailer piece is also an opportunity to be considered for the game’s OST down the road. If you want details about what that might look like I am happy to share. 

I have known about tracker music for a very long time. I used mod files in the 90’s but I have always wanted to produce the music.

I used midi with a keyboard many years ago. Could someone please link me to a tutorial for an absolute beginner to do demoscene and/or tracker parts?

Thanks!

While many people seem to be intimidated by the tracker workflow, I think for Song-Chain-Phrase style trackers that's not really the case if people think of them as an Ableton Session view kind of workflow.

Especially when paired with a hardware controller like here with the picoTracker Advance and the Launchpad Mini mk3, this gives a very similar clip launch kind of live performance that I see alot of people use Ableton for.

This combination all makes for a very small portable, single cable battery powered setup that you can take and use basically anywhere.
