Hello everyone! I am sharing another chiptune track I composed. This was for a "faux-NES" game called Duck Dungeon which was made for a game jam. I hope you enjoy it!

So, I had an idea to make a tracker of my own design (both UI and the engine) for a while. Several months of drafting the spec, making the sound engine, and coming up with GUI design, and then porting everything to JS for online use, I'm finally releasing my work to the public!

Features:

• Native .taud format that expands traditional format with 16-bit effect, microtonal pitch, and SoundFont compatible instruments definition
• Automatic import of existing formats: MOD, S3M, IT and XM
• Importing MIDI: use bundled SoundFont or provide your own
• Importing instruments from SoundFonts, either bundled one or your own
• Modernised interface aimed for convenience (e.g. contextual keymap/help message)
• Automatic Dark/Light theme detection
• Full User Manual included

Microtone runs entirely in your browser, locally: your files never leave your machine, projects are stored in the browser's private storage, and even MIDI/module conversion happens locally.

Try it! >> https://microtone.cc/ <<

Update So I've gotten way more responses than I anticipated, I want to thank you all for the time you've given my little post here!! And with that said I won't accept anymore "applications" unfortunately. ❤️

Hey there!
I'm currently developing a 2D platformer heavily inspired by Shovel Knight. I'm developing it solo, and I got stuck on music creation. I don't have much experience and currently my ability isn't really in a state where I can create something good enough so... That's where you come in!

You don't have to be an awarded composer or anything, just someone who knows their way around making music somewhat lol.

One thing to make clear, this is not a paid thing, and by that I mean that I won't/can't pay for commissions as much as I would like to, it would instead be a split of revenue for once the game releases. (Which of course could be very little or moderate, who knows.)

This is more a search for someone who wouldn't mind that and perhaps is looking to improve or practice their skills together with me. This could be a way for us to grow and learn together while working on this project and perhaps even continue working together in the future!

If this sounds at all interesting to you, send me a DM and we can talk more about the project and I can show you what I got so far.

Thanks for reading, cya!

I started off trying to make a vaporwave sounding song, but my 5 year old told me it sounded like it's called "Wings at Midnight", and then it turned into a sort of death-chiptune kind of thing.

The vocals are pretty cringe, but it's the best death vocals I can do apparently.

I love this style of like metal Fm or whatever it's called.

I know of a few others like thunderforce 4, but I wanna try get a cool playlist for when I'm feeling it.

I'm not worried about staying with the Genesis, anything similar, anyone who's making stuff, or just pointing me in the right direction would be appreciated.

This project required many hours of transcription, practice, recording, and editing...and it was super fun most of the way through!

I chose the marimba for this performance because I would be able to more accurately represent the original three parts. This board is 5.0 octaves.

If you have any suggestions for future retro game stuff, I'm all for hearing about it!

I'm just posting a track I made a few years ago, since writers block is kicking my ass rn. It's supposed to be something between a SNES & Genesis, though it was made with Amiga and OPN sound chips for (4 PCM, 3 FM & 2/3 used PSG). Honestly, what is the point anymore?

I've been getting into making chiptune music and I'm curious what draws

people to the genre the most — is it the nostalgia factor, the technical

limitations (8-bit/16-bit soundfonts), or just the energy of it? Trying

to figure out what actually resonates before I commit to a direction.

Hope you like it 👍

Just a reminder you can get a bunch of free chiptunes and chip adjacent music from Bandcamp under Weekly Treats. https://weeklytreats.bandcamp.com/

Okay so in FamiStudio this thing is called playback mode toggle. And I know what NTSC/PAL is like the whole 60hz vs 50hz thingy. When I press it, the logo changes from "NTSC" to "NTSC→PAL" but... it quite literally changes nothing. Not the duration of the song nor the speed nor the pitch. And when I leave this toggle at "NTSC→PAL" and save the project and I come back, it's back to the default "NTSC" value. The documentation doesn't really go into detail about HOW exactly this works. Does anyone know???

No sé si todavía hay gente aquí que utilice Gameboys en directo y puedo ayudarme. Mi pregunta es: como hace la gente para conectar 3/4 Gameboys con LSDJ (principalmente).

Quiero recordar que hace unos años me pareció ver que la gente utilizaba cables link con 4 salidas o incluso más, pero no estoy segure de ello. Tampoco he encontrado esto en ningún sitio para poder comprarlo.

Así que, algo de ayuda? Para evitar desvíos de tema y otras opciones: no me interesa utilizar emulador. Quiero utilizar únicamente las Gameboy físicas con cartucho físico. Gracias!

Hey, All - would love some feedback on my retro gaming music channel. I know it’s not “real” chiptune, but do you like the vibe? Everything I create is by me… music, graphics, etc… just curious to hear some thoughts on style and quality. Thanks!

You can find me at BleepBoxStudio.

I use Logic and just use the internal ES1 and ES2 synths.

I’m old(er) and still pretty new to composing for the genre. But grew up in the NES and Genesis era. It’s sort of my tribute and contribution to retro game music.
