It's true, I did this. All me
This has absolutely nothing to do with Blanksword, but a bit over a year ago, I scored a couple guest tracks for Paper Animal Adventure, a wonderful little game by @azurexis.bsky.social (that imo didn't get as much love as it deserves) and I finally got around to posting them online!

Leaf is understating. They made a BANGER TRACK that is going to KNOCK YOUR SOCKS OFF which is why we had to hide it at the very end of the game (it is the final boss's theme).
Oh hey, I made a bit of music for this game, looking forward to launch!
Here it is: the Jenny the Witch launch trailer. The game goes live on July 22. That's less than 70 hours from now!

it's true, I was there
Last night, I dreamed that I was in a church working on Undertale 2, which was basically an exact copy of Undertale except all the characters (including Frisk) were named "Gustavo".

I dreamed that they renamed Sonic the Hedgehog "Chronic the Handjob" and it made me laugh so much it woke me up, I woke up 6 times this night from "Chronic the Handjob" and I had to bite my fist not to wake my spouse because I was guffawing and giggling so hard

There's a video out there of ice lynching a man. Don't watch it. It will not help you or others to traumatize yourself.
Spend the time you would have spent watching it/wanting to vomit and scream making a donation to somewhere in Minnesota, or if you can't, researching where you can help locally.

I see Materia Collective is causing chaos for past and present Undertale/Deltarune videos and copyright-striking the music they own aggressively. Since my Twitter's gone, I'll retell what they did to myself and other artists in 2021 to paint a picture of this company. www.pcgamer.com/celeste-b-si...
Celeste B-side composers haven't been paid royalties in almost two years

Old Geezer Leaflet complains about game composers again
The Blanksword inbox received its first "Hire me to make music on your game" of 2026 (and surely not the last) - I decided to share my reply as an opportunity to talk about what it's like to look for work as a games composer, from the perspective of someone that's both a composer and a game dev 🧵

You know the field you're working on is in good hands when "burn out is good, actually" is just one (1) of the several unhinged public CEO takes that started discourse in 2026, which has been going on for (checks calendar) 14 days
I say this with utmost respect, but Taylor is an absolute tool for saying this privately or publicly.
I can say on good authority that it takes 7 to 10 years to develop game development skills to “good enough” to produce commercial game content. 7-10 years plus the cost of a university education.

We need more of this, and is why I include an anti-genAI clause in my freelance contracts.
