ridgekA #pico8 #chiptune from last wknd, "Hanging On π". While writing this, I realized it reminded me of the music from Sega's Hang-On, a game I pumped lots of quarters into as a kid. Turns out they're in the same key, too. The transitions are rough imo, I ran out of sfx sequences sooner than I expected, but Pico-8's limits are great for my perfectionism bc there's always a point where you're forced to say "good enough"!
A.U. Freeman@ridgek Nice! I totally don't have the patience to do this. That Pico interface is a pain in the butt...
@aufreemanmusic Thx! It def takes patience, lol, but I like the challenge. I feel like Iβve learned a ton about music and songwriting in general from being so restricted, if that makes sense!

Fangh@ridgek I'm in love omg π
Do you have a bandcamp or something? Where can I download it?
Do you have a bandcamp or something? Where can I download it?
@Fangh Thank u! It's available as a Pico-8 cart on the BBS. I'm reluctant to do a Bandcamp release bc they all sound terrible on decent speakers. I'd need to do some heavy post-processing if I ever did something like that!
@ridgek I liked them how they sound like on the mastodon video. There is no way to export from Pico8?
@Fangh Oh totally, u can just export a wav. But I think just mastering that wouldnβt be enough for me, Iβd probably end up writing a program to isolate each instrument, so I could mix it in stereo and add a lot of polish
Adnan@ridgek howwww? How are yβall producing such high quality music on this? πππ
@kiriappeee Thanks! This was the result of a lot of experimenting over a couple weeks trying to get the most massive sound I could out of Pico-8, it's been a really interesting journey!
γ‘γΌγ· | Cheap π¨βπ«@ridgek That faux-sidechain and the chords are amazing. Such a massive sound from PICO-8 π€―
@cheapshot Thanks so much!
Bronto Games@ridgek incredible!
@bronto_games Thank you!
