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!
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...).
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 :)
Heya :)
Just started converting some of my old original acoustic guitar melodies into chiptune versions for anyone out there to have fun with in their projects.
I'm not a professional or anything, but would love to share my melodies with indie projects (games etc.).
I'd probably need a bit of guidance to give you the tracks as I'm a bit new to Itch...

Style-wise it's pretty "soda-pop"-ish, I guess, but something I love vibing to myself when coding.
I'll try to post more tracks and versions as I have a lot of old melodies lying around.
Stay safe out there!
