it's just a matter of doing "upload a new project" in the interface on the upper right corner
then classifying it as "album or soundtracks"
and then doing a file upload similar to someone uploading a game.
and then once you tell it whether AI was involved (there's a little mandatory question)
you can save it as public instead of a draft
I've been on Itch from July 2024 as only a musician for 8 months until starting to also do games in March 2025 which was a slow process so my being only a musician effectively spanned more like 14 months before really coding hard.
Good to meet a fellow musician on here!
If you choose there are tons of music jams on here where submissions compete for ratings (for many of us, it's more for the socializing and networking but there are also those who actually make revenue at this).
Cheers!

Very kind of you! I'll give that a look as soon as I can.
Good point about the AI part, since they are chiptune conversions of acoustic tracks recorded a long time ago. I'll make a note of that.
Likewise! I've mostly played rock and indie acoustic stuff in the past (with and without a band), but I've always loved the indie game dev scene. So it would be cool to help someone out instead of the melodies "gathering dust".
I'm all for networking/socializing, I don't have any plans for revenue or that sort of thing. I'm happy with just sharing. Would be cool to hear some of it in a game project at some point.
Thanks :)
Wow, fantastic chiptune vibe. Also loving the 8-bit sound mixed with analog guitars. I stuck my toes for into the genre for the first time since the 90s with a tune I called Chiptune Baroque, but I guess that's more of an homage than a pure 8-bit sound piece :P
May I ask what software do you use to create your tunes? Is it a regular DAW with plugins, or do you use old school trackers? Sorry if I come across a bit nosy. Just genuinely curious :O
Thank you for checkin out my music much appreciated ive subscribed also to yt and hope to hear some of your sounds on a game some day especially toxoplasma of rage

Hey, thanks for that. You have a really cool piano style (I specially dig Whimsy Number 1).
I had a single year of piano lessons forty-one years ago at the age of eleven. But had the perfect-pitch gift of being able to transpose anything i figured out, into other keys.
Got kind of smothered in high school by kids that were more forward in band-class so i only sang in choir (then did so again in college in '98-'99).
But always enjoyed synthesizers and knew that if i had one finally with a sequencer built-in that i could teach myself the rest of advanced piano (with my own eclectic style) off going 5 seconds at a time and hitting save then hearing it back to myself.
Whimsy #1 is effectively the start of that, then i just kept grinding making longer compositions, and on the 257th release 18 months into it, started singing vocal tracks (at about 83 vocals now).
Glad you enjoyed!
