Hello! I'm a trans gal that makes music and I'm trying to do music for as many jams as possible this year. Last time I participated in 7DRL was back in 2017 doing the backwater desert planet soundscape for Dead Horizons. I had a blast and I definitely want to get back into doing 7DRL tunes this year.

The best cross-section of my previous work can be found on my compilation album Stellar Radiance (free to listen on Bandcamp, no download required). If you're interested in working together then hit me up on Discord! My username there is nicki.nicki.nicki (and yes that is three nicki's haha).

Yes! nicki.nicki.nicki is my username.

Hihi, music girlie here! I made the music for this adorable game called Cute Crate back in 2017 and I'd love to make more cute / cozy stuff. What's a good way to contact you? (I've got a link to my Discord on my profile)

The rules for this lovely jam mention that you are free to use samples and loops you have the rights to "as long as the majority of the work is still your own composition and arrangement." If you wanna get some creative ideas for how to pull this off in the realm of video game music, I've got two amazing OSTs for you to listen to:

• Bastion: Original Soundtrack by Darren Korb
• Gunhouse OST by Disasterpeace

Both are fantastic. Disasterpeace was actually inspired by Darren Korb's usage of loops in Bastion to give it a go with the Gunhouse soundtrack.  From the Gunhouse OST page: "This soundtrack is largely an experiment in using pre-made loops and samples. I wanted to see how far I could get using loops as the primary source of inspiration. It turns out it's a great way to not only work quickly, but to flex creative muscle and do strange aesthetic things."

Anyone else have other cool, creative, and / or off the wall uses of premade loops / samples to serve as inspiration?

Yes as long as you aren't making any money from it and you credit us. (No idea why I didn't respond to this years ago but feel free to use it for any projects you have now 😅)

It looks like it's a free game so yeah no problem! Thank you for crediting us!!!

Yay! Looking forward to anything you might do with them. I plan to upload static glitchy / abstract pics at some point as well.

I'm very interested to see how this looks in regards to animation! Are there currently any videos available where I can see the overlay in action? :]

Just checked with Ashton & Megan. We've agreed that it's fine as long as you aren't monetizing the videos and as long as you credit all three of us for the music (since I didn't create the EP by myself). Maybe something like this in the description & credits or something:

Music: Space Crew EP by Megan Carnes, Nicholas Day, & Ashton Morris. https://alfredofreak.itch.io/space-crew-ep

Thanks for checking! :D

Hi peeps!

In the interest of helping out people with GBJam audio as much as possible, I thought I'd share some helpful links!

• SFXR is a pretty sweet SFX generator capable of making basic, chippy sounds for your game. Any sounds you create with it are yours to keep!
• BFXR is a beefed-up version of SFXR. As with SFXR, you hold the rights to whatever sounds you create!
• Here's a list of stuff for making chiptune music created by Chiptunes = WIN. Aside from trackers and DAWs, it also has free & paid plugins you can use in any audio workstation you like.

Good luck! :D

Hey everyone!

I'm super pumped for this jam and I just remembered some recordings I made back in 2014 that might help others out. This is a collection of 14 electromagnetic recordings I've published under the Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 (CC BY 3.0) license. What that means is these sounds are free to use, modify, and even sell as part of a commercial product (minus sound libraries) as long as you credit me with the creation of the original sounds. How do you do that? Easy! Just put my Twitter handle (@alfredofreak) along with a link to the pack in whatever credits screen / page / file you have.

Anyway, here's the link. EM recordings are pretty nuts. Have fun! :D

EDIT: I found a team! Best of luck to those hunting down an audio person! If you want to make your own sound effects, I highly recommend SFXR for 8-bit stuff. Hey there! My name's Nick. I'm working to build up my skills in sound design and music, so let me know if you need either one for your jam entry! I can also take care of implementing audio if you're using an engine with C#. The best way to contact me is email (alfredofreak at gmail.com) or Twitter (@alfredofreak). Hope to hear from you! :D
