Tutorials, Tips & Tricks - On YouTube!

Hey folks!

Chris here. Well we’ve been working on this and that behind the scenes, but we had recently been discussing breathing life back into our YouTube channel. It’s a little dated and in need of some love, but so are our fellow composing/sound designing friends and vgm lovers! So with that in mind, we’ve started putting together videos that will give insight into our workflow, tips, tricks, and more.

The hope is that, we can help others who are looking for answers to questions they’ve had for a while, and everything we put out, we’re all ears for taking more back in, and helping the community that have stuck behind us for so long. With all this creativity going on, only good things can come from it!

Be sure to let us know what you think on the video, any questions, ideas, etc! We’re all ears. We’ve more ideas, little tutorials, and tips videos like this one above, all coming in the near future.

Happy Wednesday! Speak to you all soon.

New website, new music & a CSH Vinyl giveaway!

Where did we go?

We’ve been working away these past few years, and our online presence and communication with the community and fans of our work have been lacking. With that said, it does NOT mean that we are not extremely grateful of all those who raise us up and support everything we do. We appreciate it, BIG TIME, and we are not planning on being radio silent any longer.

Our previous website design would let you flick through soundcloud playlists. Soundcloud page will be getting reorganized in 2020!

Bloggin’

We had a blog many years ago, and to be honest. it just never got up and running. Moving ahead with the blog and communicating in general, we don’t want to just put out filler! We want anything we put out into the interwebs to be relevant, interesting and maybe even useful. If we achieve even half of one of those things, I think we’re off to a good start.

The new website has a great grid system: less clicks, more information, all in less time. Winning.

Bandcamp, Youtube, Spotify & beyond.

Our YouTube community has always been so incredible, as have our Spotify listeners - WOW you guys and gals are crazy! We had like 18K listeners last month: THAT IS INSANE! We love you all so much, and we plan on putting more of our music that is not on YouTube or Spotify (or elsewhere) out there as soon as possible. Currently we’ve just pushed a good few more soundtrack that were bandcamp only, over to Spotify, and more will be coming to Spotify next year for sure, once our distributor puts them out.

As with Bandcamp, it is literally the BEST way you can support us, above all other mediums available. We’ll always make everything as available as possible on every platform, but if you want to support us, Bandcamp is the way. We’ve considered offering a subscription service in the future, but we don’t want to offer it until we’ve had time to think about what it means for us and what it means for those supporting us, should they choose to do so.

Any ideas and feedback on this or anything, you can always hit us up, we’re all ears… and beaks.

Slap City - Iji Soundtrack Remixes released.

We are finally releasing some new (kinda new? I think we wrote these in 2007/2008 but whatever) things for people to listen to. Many folks are die hard fans of the original mixes, and we respect and love their support for that. We’ve pushed out a medley before which was enjoyed by some too, so we know that it’s not going to be for everybody, BUT we’ve done new versions of both Tor and Welcome to the Party, Pal for Ludosity Games’ amazingly fun title “Slap City”. It’s basically the PC answer to the Smash series, and I’d argue it’s got ten times the humour and fun packed in there. Also cheap as chips, so well worth.

You can get it here on our bandcamp for FREE, it will also be out on Spotify soon, as well as our YouTube!

CSH VINYL GIVEAWAY!

To celebrate the new website, and an amazing 2020 going ahead, we wanted to give away a physical Cosmic Star Heroine Vinyl Record! With that said, you’ll need to work a little bit for it.

There’s a clue somewhere on this new website.. you should be able to find it, assuming this clue.. works.

First person to find the answer, should send us a tweet with that answer to @HyperDuckChris or @HyperDuckDan! Good luck.

To conclude

We’re just happy to have a chance to reboot, and it’s long overdue. We want 2020 to be a year we can represent our fans, the community of hard-working devs, artists, programmers, and producers.

As a THANK YOU to everybody who has cared for us, been kind to us, and raised us up at any point… we want to offer a 50% off code on any and all of our music on Bandcamp. Use code 2020vision at checkout to get that half-price discount! Our Bandcamp is here.

Happy Holidays to all, and from the bottom of our hearts, we thank you all again and will keep thanking you for supporting us, raising us up, and energizing us, genuinely so, to keep creating. You are the clear reminder of what love for videogames really feels like.

Hugs,

Chris & Dan.
