about

Here is all the music I have made so far for the narrative mini-games written by Emma Conner (@dumplingsquid) with the Bitsy engine. You can go to dumplingsquid.itch.io to play all those games and I recommend that you do so because I like them a lot.

The Bitsy engine (by Adam Le Doux) intentionally imposes harsh constraints on game design. Emma does a great job at telling different types of stories within those constraints, and I try to do a similar thing in these scores by trying out different instruments and different types of music within certain constraints I have imposed on myself.

I hope you enjoy!
