Thank you for listening!

@@continentalfruit thanks for listening! And thanks for the recommendations! Those are all new names to me, I look forward to doing some listening:

Thanks! I've gone a little sampler crazy in my case, so I'm technically using 8 different ones - Qubit Nebulae, Ginkosynthese Sampler Slicer, Mutable Beads, Jroo Loop, SDS Reflex Live Loop, Doepfer A112, Blukac Endless Processor, and ALM Squid Salmple. Maybe that's overkill, but I love how each one offers a very different approach to sample manipulation/playback so I can get a lot of variety in my textures and workflow. I record all my samples from scratch and the audio gets routed to each sampler so I have some nice flexibility to see where it lands best.

Thank you for listening! I'm glad you enjoy it!

I love a good raw recording too, but I'll have to try to find a demagnetizer somewhere.

Eurorack is a modular synth format that uses patch cables to connect unrelated modules create a larger ecosystem of oscillators, samplers, LFOs, envelopes, sequencers, effects, etc. My setup is using a range of different sampler modules that are usually getting chopped up and triggered by random sequence generators. I find it an inspiring way to work because I can focus on finding the moods and sounds that I want while letting the compositions fall in more haphazardly.

Thanks for listening! I would try cleaning the heads like this, but there's a few other issues with the unit, including dirty potentiometers and the fact that it wouldn't stay recording at a certain point so I might need to hand it off to someone with more experience to give it a proper servicing.

Haha misread. Never going back.

Started funky, morphed to techno, chilled to ambient. It's got it all!

@@JMGtII Thanks for listening!

Thank you! Your words mean a lot! I don't know what we can do to get the game into more hands, but hopefully people keep talking about the game and new folks can find it eventually. Not sure if we'll get to a sequel, but hopefully a spiritual successor in some form at least.

Thank you! I hope you enjoy exploring the sounds!

It's been a long time since I recorded this now so I can't remember exactly, but I don't believe I did much to the patches beyond the oscillator settings and envelopes/fx. Turning on the 'Phase' parameter adds a huge amount of character for getting that almost broken feeling. Any particular elements of this sound that you're finding challenging to reproduce?

@@ghosttimegames9072 hey! i found your video while searching for tips on programming warbly, lofi patches in general. i actually don't have a korg, but have been patching in max/msp. so i was looking for general principles on programming this sort of sound that i could use in other synths.

@@ghosttimegames9072 i have been using your recipe from the "parameters" section of this patch on the download page. i can approximate it but haven't quit got it to sound as nice as yours. part of me still doesn't understand. my understanding is that you made a custom waveform to act as the main oscillator. but i don't understand how the 'parameters' relate to this patch. are the 'parameters' you mention the actual parameters of the prologue that can be adjusted? or were these the parameters that were used in the creation of the oscillator that you uploaded onto the prologue? maybe i am missing something, or maybe there is something about how the prologue works that i don't understand. thanks for your reply!

@@troywitherow Ah, the parameters I listed are all relative to this custom oscillator (the logue sdk essentially allows you to make 8 user-facing parameters to adjust) so these are how you turn the sound from a simple initialized sine wave in the oscillator into this complex and warbly one.. I likely did have the drive engaged on the prologue here, which amplifies a lot of that grit in a nice warm way. Might be worth running your sounds through a bit of drive while you're working to find that sweet spot more easily?

This version should work on everything :) Folks with minilogue xd and nts1 have all been able to load them. Feel free to email me if you have any issues.

@@ghosttimegames9072 I am bought your oscillators already ) They are awesome! Hope you will made more. Thanks!

@@deathofgrungeboy Thanks for your support! I'd definitely like to keep making more - whenever inspiration strikes ;)

Haha, I've had complaints about that stutter but I'm glad it was engaging. I believe it's an old Logitech c200. I don't think it does that all the time, but something about recording into quicktime on my 2015 macbook engages that jitter. Reminds me of an old video filter I wrote in pure data a long time ago.

@@gabrielkoenig2715 wow, that's an even more special story. It's like a concert unique to those particular hardware components. Beautiful.

Hey, sorry, I thought I had replied to this question already. Nothing on git yet, but feel free to email me at ghosttimegames at gmail if you want my source code (it's kind of messy right now).

It's a bit of a mess still, I ended up building 3 different programs into 1 project. This was my first time doing any kind of java for arduino so I can't vouch for what I wrote, but it works, and if you want the source I can send you a copy. Just shoot me an email at ghosttimegames at gmail.

Thanks! Yes, it should work with the Minilogue XD (but not the original Minilogue)

Unfortunately Apple removed the Soul Power because I wasn't able to keep updating it for each new version of iOS :( I also removed Jettomero from Steam because I have issues with their poor moderation of hate speech on their platform. Both games are still available over here ghosttime.itch.io/

@@ghosttimegames9072 Thank you, so I supposed soul power is never gonna be available again?

@@domeen0gt895 Not on iOS unfortunately. Apple have made it nearly impossible for small games to survive long-term, which is very frustrating. If you want a pc or (old) android version I'm happy to provide it though.

@@ghosttimegames9072 Ah, shame, thanks anyways.

Test Tube Titans is a completed game, still available on ghosttime.itch.io/test-tube-titans - I'd love to revisit it again at some point for some more updates but right now there's just not enough interest and I've been busy with new projects. Thanks for the interest.

Thx for the reply

Sweet! Glad you're enjoying it!

No updates lately, but it's still available over here: ghosttime.itch.io/test-tube-titans - I'm hoping to look into possible ports at some point.

I believe it would, yes. I know others have used it with success on the MinilogueXD, not sure if I've had any confirmation about the NTS-1 yet but I believe they can all run the same user oscillators.

Cool, It sounds amazing!

@@ghosttimegames9072 I just played it on my NTS-1 and it works perfectly.

@@Richard-bd5yg I got the osc running on nts-1, but I cannot find how to change most parameters. Shape works obviously, but how to change noise, flutter or wow? Maybe nts-1 has not enough knobs? Edit: Nevermind, found it by holding osc and changing type.

Hi Paul - I just tested it myself - the file download should be 'step_osc.prlgunit' - it seems to contain a folder called sine-test but if you download the prlgunit file I think that should be hidden. Feel free to drop me a line @ ghosttimegames@gmail.com if you're still having issues.

Looks like you don't know 1985 that well

Hi Steven, the game is currently only available on PC, but I'm hoping to port to consoles somewhere down the road.

So how long does it take to port it???

@@stevenvelasquez3938 It's a bit of a process, the project has to be approved by first party, then the project needs to be optimized and updated to follow all first party rules, then it needs to go through the submission process. Could take anywhere from a month to half a year. Ideally I'd like to find a publisher for console because they would be able to make it happen a lot easier. I'll be honest I definitely want it on PS4 at least because that's where I play all my games, but I don't know yet when that might happen.

It's a track from the game. The soundtrack will be available sometime in the next while.
