วีดีโอ

I wouldn't presume to compare my product to another. GuyEngine is inspired by Nintendo 64, PS1, and Sega Saturn and contains 128+ instruments.

So far there's only one paid expansion pack (and one free one), so there's no bundle yet - but that's definitely something I'll do in the future. I'm planning to put GuyEngine on sale for 33% off for the holidays, with a special bundle price for the plugin + the one paid expansion. Should hopefully go live today!

@ awesome thanks so much! Does the holiday sale still have the option to “pick your price”? I’d rather support your work for full price if possible, but still want to buy today if that makes sense.

@@dylanmacintosh Haha thank you, that's very kind! It may still let you pay full price, but I promise it's not necessary!

Let me know what you think!

Glad to hear it - I hope you like it!

Thank you! And yeah all of my soundfonts and this plugin are made up of 100% original samples, nothing ripped from games, romplers, sample packs or anything like that. Legally distinct and totally safe to use in anything commercial or otherwise.

no u

🧠

that would be an honor for me!

Plug-in is a broad term that can refer to many things beyond just digital music production. VST is immediately recognizable by those who know what it is. If I had said "a video game plugin" people may have thought I was talking about something for unity, or unreal engine, or any number of things. VST disambiguates that.

Yes, but unfortunately locked at 2 semitones

Re the leads, not yet. The drumkit, guitars, and basses all take heavy inspiration from Mega Man X4. The current selection of synth leads are more based on other games - but we could see a Mega Man X4+ inspired expansion in the future. I have my work cut out for me 😅

@@SoundFontGuy Looking forward to that! I love what you've created regardless! Been loving the sounds I've messed with lately.

@@dereksstupidmusicchannel Thank you! I hope to continue to impress!

​@@SoundFontGuyI'm a man of my word. It's been a pleasure doing business with ya 😁

@@michaelheath1194 haha honestly I respect that! thanks very much for your support!

Thanks!

My pleasure!

Congratulations on starting music production! Yes this is a plugin, not a standalone. Should work with just about any daw!

Thank you 🙏

She's coming back

I'm looking into it, but it might be a while yet

Which part? the zip, or the plugin? Can you give some more detail?

@@SoundFontGuy thanks for the reply. In all honesty, I'm not the most computer-literate of people. I saw the download came with installation directions, but I couldn't really make sense of them. Can you walk me through the installation process for mac?

@jibberish00 yes I'd be happy to. Do you have discord? Or maybe email? It would be easier to explain there rather than a TH-cam comment

Yikes... I'd love to hear more about that!

let's goo!!

No you are

Thank you, that's very kind! 🙏☺️

@SoundFontGuy no prob. Bought it. Happy to support. Excited to try it out!

@@DissonantSynth Thanks! I hope you enjoy it, and please let me know if you run into any issues!

Your well-being is very important to me.

Great questions! 1. Expansions are a bit of both. Owners of GuyEngine will get a free selection of instruments from every paid expansion as an optional add-on. They'll also receive content updates and additions that are exclusive to the paid version of GuyEngine, but not part of any expansion. So if you have the full version of GuyEngine, your library will steadily grow without ever having to spend another penny - unless you want to. 2. This is a rompler, not a soundfont loader. It's not compatible with soundfonts and doesn't contain any data from any existing soundfonts (except for some samples from soundfonts that I created myself from scratch). There is an engine in there, and it's very simple. Essentially just PCM, LFO, and ADSR with some FX. 3. Individual patches can be edited in the ways mentioned above, LFO, ADSR, FX, etc. I have plans for multitimbrality in the future, but it's quite an undertaking so it is a little ways off. 4. The sample libraries are in a proprietary format and can't be extracted directly, but you are free to sample them and use them for virtually any purpose, with the exception of redistribution sans sufficient transformation. All of the samples contained in GuyEngine and all of its expansions are 100% original. Nothing is ripped from any existing games or anything like that - they were all hand-crafted for this plugin. There is a free version of the plugin, so you can always try it out and see if it feels right for you! I'm also always happy to answer more questions either here, via email, on discord, itch, or ko-fi, patreon. I'm everywhere!

Thank you!

Excellent! Can't wait to hear what you make!

Hey thanks for the kind words and for the feedback. I'll look into the the knobs for the next update - gotta prioritize user friendliness. Also einhänder is a classic! Would definitely benefit from having an expansion inspired by that.

Thanks!! I'm so glad you like it!

👀 these comments are fuel

@SoundFontGuy yeah I Gan grant you some ideas here. Most gamers and devs like me like og era stuff from 80-2000s so for use that would be bigbeat, techno, jungle, sounds from the sound canvas, Alexis q, Korg triton, and sound instrument stuff from games like virtua fighter, Pokémon, ff7, megaman zero, megaman x, chrono trigger, metroid, naruto ultimate ninja storm and many classic early to mid era games. There's a sound resource as well for video game composers you can look up. They have a huge list of sounds composers used from video games from classics to modern. The list is a Google doc and let me know if you need the link to it.

You couldn't be more right

Can't wait to hear it!

Thank you for the kind words! The PS2 era jungle/ambient stuff is unmatched. I also can't wait to get to it 😂

Thank you, I'm glad you think so!

I hope you enjoy it! There's a free version in case you can't afford the big one!

<3

Thank you very much! Can't wait to hear what you make!

There's install instructions in the archive!

@@SoundFontGuy you got it bro, just keep the 15.. learned my lesson w this underground shit💀

@@Quis11 That was meant to be helpful. I'm sorry to hear that you've decided not to get it. Thanks very much for your interest!

@@Quis11 If you reach out to me on discord or email or something, I'd be happy to help you get it installed

Thanks! 🙏

It's mainly focused on PSX, N64 and Sega Saturn in terms of the general "vibe" of the sounds. I would love to do 16bit stuff! I have a million and one ideas but it can be challenging with limited time haha. There are already so many fantastic soundtracks on the three platforms that I mentioned - all of which I'd love to make reminiscent expansions of. I started work on an SNES inspired GM library but it's on the backburner for the moment while I chip away at some more content for GuyEngine.
