Enjoying an early birthday gift for research purposes 8) Sweet little system compared to the @evercaderetro VS 4PL console. Thanks to all the Indie Devs out there and @HyperMegaTech #indiegames #RETROGAMING #arcade

#indiedev - Leaning towards NESmaker or GB Studio to maybe make an Evercade game!

I would like to share something new to you all:

I can create and provide unique sound effects and voice overs for your projects. Games, animations, art projects, school projects, career/job projects, electronic toy projects, sound library projects, etc.

For free projects please keep to under 10 short lines or 10 effects requested per gig. I can display and discuss about the created assets in my portfolio anywhere.

For paying projects, contact me. I can usually assign 1 to 4 hours a day for client project gigs. I have a full time day job and lots of adult responsibilities, so please keep that in mind ;)

For both types of gigs, contact me and we can do some demos for some back and forth. Everything I create for you is royalty free, no residuals or long term paperwork unless a project specifically requires it. For paying projects, if you require a ghost audio designer, I do that too.

Asset files can be delivered in .wav or .mp3 format.

Edit: You can listen to my audio on my NG profile, check out my games where I have made all the things, and if contacting me on NG, I can't reply to you if you are not accepting new contacts. ;)

Check out my first ever organic review of one of my games! 3min Matcha - Many thanks to @vmeezo

3min Matcha is my latest released game, where everything you see, hear, and interact with was made by 1 person. 

The game is set to Pay what you want: https://technomantics.itch.io/3minmatcha

----Theme and design goals of making the game:

I aimed to have it be a 1990s looking PC game, restricting the color palette, RAM used, and drive space used. Japanese matcha tea is one of my favorite drinks to make and drink, and I thought it would make for some really chill vibes with a strict time limited match 3 game. The sound effects fit this as well. The music is more modern but overall still providing creative vibes. You can listen or download the album from your favorite provider listed here: https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/josephhatcher/3min-matcha-game-soundtrack-by-j...

If you select the credits button on the title screen, you can see some of my hand drawn designs while I was working through the design treatment for it. If you make the high scores (local only), the lucky golden egg provides you a random piece of advice, wisdom, or sarcasm (in English). 

I worked hard on this game from prototype form over several years in what little spare time I could muster with a full time job, 7 children (all mostly grown now) and 4 grandkids. I started on the soundtrack near or after I released my other game on itch.io, LOOTRONS 1982. 

It is pretty amazing playing 3min Matcha on a Steamdeck too! That initially has its own challenges, but Valve and the communities working on everything has smoothed it out this year for PC executables. 

I look forward seeing how you all play the game! It would be cool to see screenshots of your highscores and if you rate or comment that would be a sweet bonus. :)

---- Some about the creator:

My career has consisted of being in the game industry doing QA Testing, Tech Support, or Game Design while at Electronic Arts, Perfect World/Cryptic/Runic and then 5th Planet Games. I have also been in the Entertainment, Amusements/Arcade, Preventative Maintenance and Reliability Industries. I enjoy designing, drawing, composing, inventing and more!

Working on publishing & distribution assets while testing my 3min Matcha final build on various hardware and OSes. @OnDeck @itchio @Clickteam #indiedev #gamedevelopment #indiegames #puzzle #free #retrogames #pcgaming #steamdeck

Getting some research done (dev break trying to figure out whether Switch, Evercade, or Atari VCS as my next target platform) thanks to the efforts of the wonderful people at @THEC64_RGL @Pikointeractive @evercaderetro on their solid Evercade VS console :)
