I present to you, the untitled single loop I was working on last night. Still need to play around with it, work on the arpeggios, but if I slowly add in those instruments over time, that could be a fun song. Albeit one that doesn't really work for the game idea I'm going for 😅

Also also: I don't mean to throw shade if you don't build your own engine. Do what's right for you!
But also consider giving it a go. There are plenty of great frameworks out there that handle all the window management and GL interface and file loading guff so it's a lot easier now than it used to be.
Chalk another one up for team "build your own engine"
(this is the sort of thing that would be technically possible but a huge pain in a general engine, and is pretty straightforward if you make your own)

Their site is definitely worth a look.
For the past month I have been diving deep into The Cycle: Frontier, a game that is equally punishing as it is rewarding to those who can handle it’s mix of PvPvE. It was an instant slam dunk for me, taking all the systems that I love from HUNT:
