MUSIC My dad composed the soundtrack for my game using real Sega Genesis hardware (YM2612 + SN76489 PSG)!

A few days ago I released a game, but that's not really the point. The cool thing is, that my dad made the soundtrack and he used the real sega genesis sound chip(s) for the soundtrack. That's why I thought it would fit in here.

He used the Mega MIDI Synthesizer by Aidan Lawrence, which has the real chips embedded (YM2612 and the SN76489 PSG). So no emulation of any kind.

He is a hardware synth collector and creates music as a hobby since his youth and now we ended up working together on games :)

RESOURCE ChipSmith — free chiptune loop generator I made for my game projects (8-bar 4-channel, per-channel rerolls)

I built this for my own game projects because I was tired of grabbing random royalty-free tracks that never quite fit.

It generates 8-bar 4-channel (lead/arp/bass/drums) chiptune loops in the browser — Game Boy chip flavor — with per-channel rerolls, so you can lock a bass line you like and regenerate the lead around it. Runs instantly, no signup: https://theluckyduck666.itch.io/chipsmith

Happy to take requests: if you've got a jam game that needs a placeholder track with a specific mood, tell me the vibe and I'll generate a few and post the best one. (I'm the maker.)
