As far as I'm concerned, it is as advertised - Lua is a simple language to grok, and you can get a lot of stuff up very quickly with the built-in tools around it (sprites, maps, built-in tracker). I'm finding it refreshingly fun to code for

Hey guys, thanks for the kind words and the willingness to contribute! Like the edit at the top says, I've already found somebody, and I'd like to see how that works out (sings are positive) .
Still, it's flattering that so many people are interested - I honestly wasn't expecting that. I'll keep you all in mind for future projects for sure .
Will keep you posted when the beta for the game is released. You can also keep track of it on Twitter (http://twitter.com/krajzeg), I tweet about how the game is going regularly.

[EDIT: Musician found! Thanks for reading!]
Hi there,
I'm making The Lair, a dark fantasy beat'em up for the PICO-8 (which is made up console with a built-in tracker). Think Golden Axe meets Castlevania. It looks like this:
I'm hoping to find a musician willing to help me with the sountrack. Since PICO-8 is a machine with 8-bit-like audio capabilities, I figured this forum might be a good place to look.
- 3 short tracks would be needed - title, battle score, final boss battle
- the vibe I'm looking for is something reminiscent of old Castlevania titles - upbeat but with dark undertones
- the song would have to be done on the PICO-8, which has a built-in tracker - I'm willing to buy you a license if you're really interested and don't have one already
- the whole thing will be released as "pay what you want" on itch.io and other places. I'm willing to share revenue, but realistically it won't be much.
- no specific deadline
Please post in the topic if interested, or contact me directly at [email protected], if you prefer.

Hi everyone,
I'm the author of a retro GBC-like shoot'em up, Warning Foregone (play it!).
The game got excellent reception over at GameJolt, and I'm currently working on an updated version. I'm looking for someone with chip-music experience to help me with some background music for an updated version of the game. For details, see this thread at the 8bitcollective.
Thanks for checking this out! :)
