Hey Garman! Not nosy at all, glad you like the tunes. Awesome that you dove into the genre, I love the Chiptune Baroque track. I could imagine slaying some vampires in an old castle to it xD. I can hear the rigidity that you mention, ties well into 8-bit imo.

As mentioned in my initial post, and my reply to exedexes, these are conversions of acoustic melodies, so just to curb your enthusiasm a bit they are generated in Suno. My old bandmate and I usually work in Cubase and GarageBand for our acoustic and alt. rock tracks (the sources of these chiptune conversions), but the chiptune versions are prompt-based, although heavily modified after an intensely fun day playing around with it.

Since we had such a blast with it, we did talk about if we should dig out our old synths from our respective storage units and re-recreate these conversions into "analog" versions. For now, I was just thinking they would be fun to share for free to indie devs to play with. As mentioned earlier, I'm not a professional or have any commercial interest, just an indie game nerd who would like to give back :P

Now that you mention DAW with plugins, it reminds me that we did try that once way back, must be at least 10 years ago,  but I can't remember the names of those DSP plugins anymore (I'm old...).

"I'm old..." Hahaha, I feel you on that one. I guess the 8-bit retro love comes from the source at the beginning of the thing, right?

Thanks a million for checking my work out and for your kind comment. Chiptune Baroque is my first and only track inspired on that genre so far, but I'm looking forward to expand my portfolio on that direction.

I enjoyed reading the whole story behind your tunes. Nothing wrong with that, really. It's amazing what one can do nowadays with just text, and I love that you guys have fun with it. That said, I believe that analog synth sound would be a true step up. I would really encourage your bandmate and yourself to give it a shot some day! In the meanwhile, I'll see you around and I'll keep an eye for new post from your side. Cheers

Absolutely, C64 and Gameboy all the way as a kid ;) Chiptunes have been my go-to work tunes since forever, so it certainly has stuck.

I'll keep an eye (ear?) out for your new tunes!
