oh btw just realized that supertux 0.7 has finally been released (at least a beta version, but still)...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PczyNWV8gI0
https://www.supertux.org/news/2025/12/29/0.7.0_beta1

i worked a lot on the music of the new update in the last year; and i'm really glad that the fruits of my labor, and everyone else in this project, can finally be showcased to the public.

there are still some songs i need to do and also others i could improve on IMO, but the project's soundtrack is in a way better state now (ripple in peperone old voc_night).. and the whole game is quite good now

please check it out, and also more developers, artists and musicians will be appreciated.
