Hi all!
I just wanted to let you all know about a project that I’ve been working on for the past year. Today marks the release of a new website, vgmassets.com. It’s an online store that provides music and sound effects for use in video game development, in the form of ready-made, downloadable asset packs. The first asset pack I’m releasing is called Piano Worlds and contains six soothing (and one not so soothing) music tracks as well as an abundance of piano themed sound effects and stingers.
One of my goals was to try and create high-quality music assets that actually try and meet the needs of video game developers. I’m trying to do this in three main ways. One, by ensuring that these music assets are able to be used in online video, social media, and live streams without the fear of creators’ videos getting demonetized or taken down. Two, by being created with the music’s use within an actual game in mind by providing looping and dynamic music functionality. And three, by providing educational content and tools to empower young and student game developers to explore the different ways that music can enhance games that they make. As with any new venture there’s always room for improvement, but these will be the three guiding beacons which I’ll be striving to uphold.
If you’ve been a long time fan of my music and don’t have an interest in making video games fret not, I’ll still be releasing this music for listening to at a later date.
It’s been a long time coming and I’m so excited that it’s finally out in the world! You can check out the release trailer for Piano Worlds right here!
