The game was developed by Libra Heart and pixel-teishoku and published by Critical Bliss. Castle in the Clouds is a 2D pixel art platformer released on Steam in 2021 with lovingly crafted art and an incredible soundtrack. This "hornyvania" puts you in control of bounty hunter Lily on her quest to defeat hordes of monsters and maybe get a little something extra.Critical Bliss is a rapidly growing developer/publisher that focuses on international releases of raunchy, fun, and unique erotic games that started around 2016. Libra Heart is a developer best known for their work on this game as well as the "Succubus" series, with additional help on Castle in the Clouds from pixel-teishoku.g3ntlebreeze mixes together sultry sounds, nostalgic chiptune vibes, jazz and some truly wicked solos in this and other erotic games. He's worked on Tower &amp; Sword of Succubus, Midnight Castle Succubus, Avaria: Chains of Lust and many other games that are best looked up with safe search on.

Brian Schmidt

How do you do justice describing Brian Schmidt's contribution to gaming? His impact on the global trajectory of games has been immense. There's no doubt in our minds that Brian is one of the most important figures in videogame history, and we couldn't be more honored to have him joining us on the show. This next paragraph is only a portion of what Brian has been up to for the last 35 years or so.Brian Schmidt began his career in games at Williams around 1987. He soon began working on music and sound programming on iconic pinball games like Swords of Fury and Black Knight 2000, as well as the infamous arcade game NARC. He later went freelance and worked on mechanical and redemption games, dozens of licensed pinball games like Data East's Batman and many for Sega. Fun fact: the 1991 Batman pinball game was the first to use Brian's BSMT2000 hardware board designed for sample playback which went on to see use in pinball games for around 10 years. He then went to Electronic Arts and did sound for a ton of console games like Crüe Ball, Desert Strike, Mutant League Football and a variety of sports games. He contracted with QSound to work on 3D imaging in stereo sound and helped create the hardware used for in a number of games, including many Capcom CPS2 arcade machines. Eventually he moved onto Microsoft where he created the audio architecture for the Xbox and Xbox 360, as well as creating the OG Xbox startup sound. In 2009 he created GameSoundCon, the premier conference for industry professionals to learn how to write and implement music for games. He has been the current president of Game Audio Network Guild (G.A.N.G.) for over a decade, an network of audio professionals based around growing the influence and legitimacy of video game music globally. G.A.N.G. along with many other groups paved the way for the recent acceptance of videogame music as a Grammy category. He's currently the audio director and composer for Digital Dreams Entertainment's recent games Mutant Football League 1 and 2, spiritual successors to the EA games he worked on all those years ago.We had the privilege of talking with Brian about his entire career in games from the very beginning to the present. We cover tons of FM music, pinball, NARC, the Pixies, QSound, EA Games, the Xbox, and his current work on Mutant Football League. This is definitely an episode to catch and we are absolutely thrilled to share it with everyone.

Your father Kal Morrow, expert in genetic research and creation of human-animal hybrids, has been kidnapped and the rest of your family was brutally murdered by the terrorist organization CHIMERA. You take control of his surviving son Saul to exact revenge against CHIMERA and their leader Karl Draxx.Core Design is best known for their work on the first few Tomb Raider games, as well as other games like Rick Dangerous, Jaguar XJ220 and the Fighting Force series.Simon Phipps, one of the early members of core and a lead graphic designer on Wolfchild published a great article on his website which is where we gathered a lot of the information for this episode. He talks about the origin of the game, the inspiration for its design (Strider, Island of Dr. Moreau, etc) and some notes about animation and the various releases.Music this time around is handled by Martin Iveson on the original Amiga, Atari ST and later reimagined Mega CD version, with the Genesis, Game Gear and Master System covered by Pixelated Audio veteran Matt Furniss, and down porting duties from the Mega CD to SNES by Steve Collett.

Today we're joined by industry legend Neil Biggin in an absolutely massive show! Neil regales us with hilarious stories as we cover a wide range of his electronic music during his time at Gremlin Graphics from about 1992-1996. He walks us through some memories of landmark events during the 16 and 32-bit eras: the launch of the CD32, the first days of the Playstation, and being at a company with one of the world's first motion capture studios.Neil Biggin began his career with Zool 2 on Amiga, and continued with games like the CD32 versions of Zool 1 and 2 and Top Gear 2, Top Gear 3000, the Actua (or VR) sports games, Loaded, Re-Loaded, a number of FIFA games from 1997-2000, and music porting duties for the Desert/Jungle Strike games. His earliest works are teeming with the lovely sounds of Rave and House music, but as his sound progresses he gets deeper into other genres like Metal, Jungle, Drum and Bass and much more. Whether you're new to his work or an old fan, Neil's music continues to sound great to this day.Neil is also in the process of re-releasing much of his music. Check out his Spotify as more gradually starts appearing over the coming months. He's also working on the latest iteration of the Amiga Immortal album series where Amiga legends like himself, Barry Leitch and many others come together to remaster their own works for modern audiences.Neil's Links: 	Spotify | SoundCloud | TwitterThe kooky song that Neil was thinking of was indeed Martian Hop by the Ran-Dells, a kitsch classic that's still pretty entertaining today.Track List:All tracks composed by Neil Biggin unless otherwise stated.

Going back to the NES we get The Guardian Legend, a curiousity developed by Compile that is best described as Zelda plus Zanac. Originally released in 1988 for the NES, The Guardian Legend or "Guardic Gaiden" is the pseudo sequel to MSX game Guardic from 1986. While the developers insist there's no story links between the games, there's enough gameplay and music shared between the two that we decided to play a lot of Guardic music for comparison.The music was composed by two individuals: Masatomo Miyamoto and Takeshi Santo. Masatomo Miyamoto worked with Compile from around 1985-1990 and soonafter left the game industry. Takeshi Santo worked as a sound programmer at Compile from 1987-1989 and then went off to found Sting where he's spent most of his career in a producer capacity.The Guardian Legend (NES) - 1988 | Guardic (MSX) - 1986Composed by Masatomo Miyamoto (both games) and Takeshi Santo (TGL only)Track List: 	0:00:04 Title Screen 	0:03:16 Approaching NAJU 	0:05:16 Boss Theme 1 	0:06:58 Message Room 	0:12:18 Main BGM (MSX) 	0:14:05 NAJU Overworld 	0:19:39 Empty Room 	0:21:04 Title (MSX) | Password &amp; Outer Space (NES) 	0:23:19 Oceanic Area Overworld 	0:24:20 Oceanic Area Corridor  	0:25:29 Name Entry (MSX) 	0:28:44 Boss Theme 2 	0:30:27 Corridor Done (NES) | Stage Selection (MSX) 	0:31:43 Randar (MSX) | Blue Randar Room (NES) 	0:32:57 Forest Area Overworld 	0:39:37 Forest Area Corridor 	0:43:10 Stellar Area Overworld 	0:44:13 Stellar Area Corridor 	0:53:01 Organic Area Corridor 	0:56:13 Wasteland Area Overworld 	0:57:16 Wasteland Area Corridor 	0:59:19 Boss (MSX) | Boss Theme 3 (NES) 	1:00:48 Last Corridor 	1:03:31 (Bedding) Ending (MSX) 	1:04:02 EndingThe Guardian Legend (NES) - composed by Masatomo Miyamoto and Takeshi SantoVGMrips credit to NewRisingSunGuardic (MSX) - composed by Masatomo Miyamoto, sound programming by Takayuki HironoVGMrips credit to GTheGuardian

Kicking off the new year with a Famicom banger! Uchuu Keibitai SDF is a vertical shooter released by HAL Laboratory in 1990 for the Japanese market only. While the game leaves a bit to be desired, the soundtrack is great and definitely worth exploring. It was composed by HAL veterans, Jun Ishikawa (known for Kirby Super Star, Alcahest, and Hyper Zone) and Hideki Kanazashi (known for F1-Race, Mach Rider, Eggerland, Rollerball, and Adventures of Lolo). Great music and plenty of space babies to keep it interesting.Uchuu Keibitai SDF (宇宙警備隊 SDF)Famicom - 1990 HAL LaboratoryComposed by Jun Ishikawa &amp; Zap Rodeo (aka Hideki Kanazashi)Track List: 	00:06 Start Demo 	02:24 Stage 1 	07:03 Boss 	08:08 Stage 2 	10:13 Stage 3 	15:47 Stage 4 	18:06 Stage 5 	22:48 Stage 6 	25:30 Stage 7 	31:19 Unknown 	33:45 Final Boss 	36:49 EndingUchuu Keibitai SDF @ VGMrips #credit to GTheGuardian

Gabriel Knight

Gabriel Knight was developed and published by Sierra On-Line on December 17, 1993 for DOS/Windows/Macintosh. Join Gabriel, a bookstore owner, would-be author, and a man with a love for the ladies as he follows the "Voodoo Murders". With the help of his trusty assistant Grace and longtime friend Detective Mosely, what starts off as searching for inspiration for a novel ends up uncovering ties to New Orleans' voodoo past, the present day criminal underworld and his own tangled family history.The evocative score was composed by industry veteran Robert Holmes, and the game was written and designed by powerhouse creative Jane Jensen. Together their work perfectly captures a place in time so memorably it resonates even all these years later. We're honored to be joined by Robert Holmes for an interview that we've been looking forward to for a long time.Robert Holmes grew up listening to the music of the 50s and 60s before playing in a number of bands in the Los Angeles music scene. Robert then worked in post production in Hollywood and shortly after joined Sierra On-Line as one of their in-house composers, initially doing Macintosh conversions and eventually composing original music for their games.Holmes composed Hoyle Classics as well as most of the music for the Gabriel Knight trilogy, the recent 20th Anniversary remake of GK1 as well as Gray Matter and Moebius: Empire Rising. Over the years he's also worked as composer, arranger and producer for Sting, REO Speedwagon, The Scarlet Furies, and many others.Robert Holmes websiteIn January 2019, Robert Holmes released two albums:  A Simple Refrain is a soothing piano album covering the most memorable themes throughout Holmes' lengthy game career, with piano performed by the talented Roger Hooper.Purchase link: https://asimplerefrain.com/Renewal is a beautiful album revisiting classic folk songs by The Brothers Four, a folk group that's been active for over 60 years. Holmes is both a performer as well as producer on the album.Purchase link: https://www.renewalthebrothersfour.com/Jane Jensen is the writer and designer of the Gabriel Knight trilogy.

Gabriel Knight was developed and published by Sierra On-Line on December 17, 1993 for DOS/Windows/Macintosh. Join Gabriel, a bookstore owner, would-be author, and a man with a love for the ladies as he follows the "Voodoo Murders". With the help of his trusty assistant Grace and longtime friend Detective Mosely, what starts off as searching for inspiration for a novel ends up uncovering ties to New Orleans' voodoo past, the present day criminal underworld and his own tangled family history. The evocative score was composed by industry veteran Robert Holmes, and the game was written and designed by powerhouse creative Jane Jensen. Together their work perfectly captures a place in time so memorably it resonates even all these years later. We're honored to be joined by Robert Holmes for an interview that we've been looking forward to for a long time. Robert Holmes grew up listening to the music of the 50s and 60s before playing in a number of bands in the Los Angeles music scene. Robert then worked in post production in Hollywood and shortly after joined Sierra On-Line as one of their in-house composers, initially doing Macintosh conversions and eventually composing original music for their games. Holmes composed Hoyle Classics as well as most of the music for the Gabriel Knight trilogy, the recent 20th Anniversary remake of GK1 as well as Gray Matter and Moebius: Empire Rising. Over the years he's also worked as composer, arranger and producer for Sting, REO Speedwagon, The Scarlet Furies, and many others. Robert Holmes website In January 2019, Robert Holmes released two albums:   A Simple Refrain is a soothing piano album covering the most memorable themes throughout Holmes' lengthy game career, with piano performed by the talented Roger Hooper. Purchase link: <a href="https://asimplerefrain.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://asimplerefrain.com/</a> Renewal is a beautiful album revisiting classic folk songs by The Brothers Four, a folk group that's been active for over 60 years. Holmes is both a performer as well as producer on the album.

Kirby has evolved into one of Nintendo’s most colorful and beloved franchises, so it’s interesting to see it start out on the Game Boy’s “pea soup” color palette. Kicking off what would be a long relationship between HAL Laboratory and Nintendo, Kirby’s Dream Land was fun for new and seasoned gamers alike.In 1992, Kirby’s Dream Land was released to the world and became an instant hit. Three years later in 1995, the Game Boy was once again called back to action with Kirby’s Dream Land 2. By the time the sequel was released, Kirby was well on his way to inhaling our love and becoming the iconic character he is today.

The Adventures of Little Ralph – PA99

What can be said about B.O.B.? Aside from the fact that he’s a funny teenage android packing heat and some wicked dance moves, probably not much.

Back in the 90’s the Sonic the Hedgehog series was in its prime - literally running over the competition. In late 1999/early 2000, SNK capitalized on this fan favorite by licensing Sonic and his friends for the Neo Geo Pocket Color.

GRIS was developed by Nomada Studio and published by the hitmaker Devolver Digital in December of 2018 for Nintendo Switch/Mac/Windows. Gris is a hopeful young girl lost in her own world, dealing with a painful experience in her life. As the story unfolds, Gris will grow emotionally and see her world in a different way, revealing new paths to explore using her new abilities.Pairing with the gorgeous art by Conrad Roset is the equally beautiful and emotional soundtrack composed by Berlinist. We are joined by Gemma and Marco of Berlinist as they discuss their unique approach to music, and their close relationship with Conrad and Nomada Studio in creating the atmosphere for this game.Berlinist is based in Barcelona Spain and made up of Marco Albano, Gemma Gamarra, and Luigi Gervasi. Most of the dreamy compositions that makes up GRIS were written by Marco, with Gemma providing the vocals. The sweeping dream-like textures combine with acoustic elements, orchestral instruments and mellow synths to make the emotional landscape of the game. Gris takes its time to convey a wide range of emotions from the tense, to the mournful, to the sublime. The soundtrack to GRIS and other albums by Berlinist can be purchased at their Bandcamp page.Conrad Roset is a multi-talented artist that works in a wide range of mediums of hand drawn art. From his bio "Conrad Roset spent the first part of his 29 years in Terrassa, his native city, among boxes of crayons, felt-tip pens and notebooks; the other part in Barcelona, surrounded by paints, moleskine notebooks, muses, colored pencils, and in the company of his gray cat." Conrad has worked for many high profile clients and exhibited works in galleries and museums throughout the world and he is currently a professor of illustration at the BAU Design College of Barcelona.Nomada Studio is a small game developer based in Barcelona Spain with developers and artists experienced in illustration, painting and graphic design. After a few years spread around the world making AAA games and interactive experiences, long time friends Adrián Cuevas and Roger Mendoza met artist Conrad Roset back home in Barcelona who had an itch for bringing his art to the realm of videogames for a long time.

Inspired by our talk at the Library of Congress, we have a shorter show covering the music of Gyruss over about 25 years of releases.Gyruss was originally developed by Konami in 1983 with ports developed and published by many companies over its history. We even find the game showing up in a few unexpected places. The original theme is based on J.S. Bach's Toccata and Fugue in D Minor which is a fairly well known organ piece in the classical repertoire. You'll hear a few different takes on the Bach piece as well as a few new compositions.

Halloween Beats – PA07

EVE burst error is an adult-oriented visual novel originally released for the PC-98 in 1995 by C's Ware with additional ports to Saturn and Windows.In EVE you follow the interconnected stories of Marina and Kojiroh as they avoid death and danger at every turn in order to discover the truth behind their respective missions.  Combine the powerhouse compositional forces of Ryu Umemoto and Ryu Takami with the storytelling finesse of Hiroyuki Kanno (lead designer of YU-NO) and you get a recipe for a gripping game whose impact reverberates all the way to contemporary visual novels like Steins;Gate.EVE Burst Error launched a number of sequels and remakes, but few of the soundtracks hit as powerfully as the original PC-98 where we'll spend most of our focus. Join us as we listen to music from two of the greatest FM synthesis masters of their day; funky bass lines, hard hitting techno, soulful melodies and all.[Ryu Umemoto]Ryu Umemoto was best known for his work in the 1990s writing stellar FM music for games like Princess Maker 2, Desire, Xenon, and YU-NO. In the 2000s he also worked on many notable shmups like Psyvariar, Mushihime-sama, Espgaluda II and Akai Katana. Sadly we tragically lost Umemoto too soon; he passed away at the age of 37 in 2011. He was loved by his friends and peers and left us with a huge body of amazing music. Considering how obscure many of his early games are outside of Japan, it speaks volumes to his abilities that his work on games like Xenon, YU-NO and EVE burst error are are so well-traveled in VGM circles and his reputation as a skilled VGM composer is rightly deserved.For many more details and kind words, read the memorial article and memorial blog post by Audi aka Audun Sorlie.[Ryu Takami]Ryu Takami is the secondary composer on EVE burst error but no slouch in the composition department. He was the primary composer for Grounseed, worked on the soundtracks for Cosmic Psycho, Rusty, and the console port of Deathsmiles. When he isn't composing, Takami is working on studio projects as a mix engineer and was the lead on the Xenon and EVE Burst remaster albums in 2008. He also released a track for the recent Ubiktune album SOUNDSHOCK 3.

EVE burst error is an adult-oriented visual novel originally released for the PC-98 in 1995 by C's Ware with additional ports to Saturn and Windows. In EVE you follow the interconnected stories of Marina and Kojiroh as they avoid death and danger at every turn in order to discover the truth behind their respective missions.  Combine the powerhouse compositional forces of Ryu Umemoto and Ryu Takami with the storytelling finesse of Hiroyuki Kanno (lead designer of YU-NO) and you get a recipe for a gripping game whose impact reverberates all the way to contemporary visual novels like Steins;Gate. EVE Burst Error launched a number of sequels and remakes, but few of the soundtracks hit as powerfully as the original PC-98 where we'll spend most of our focus. Join us as we listen to music from two of the greatest FM synthesis masters of their day; funky bass lines, hard hitting techno, soulful melodies and all. [Ryu Umemoto] Ryu Umemoto was best known for his work in the 1990s writing stellar FM music for games like Princess Maker 2, Desire, Xenon, and YU-NO. In the 2000s he also worked on many notable shmups like Psyvariar, Mushihime-sama, Espgaluda II and Akai Katana. Sadly we tragically lost Umemoto too soon; he passed away at the age of 37 in 2011. He was loved by his friends and peers and left us with a huge body of amazing music. Considering how obscure many of his early games are outside of Japan, it speaks volumes to his abilities that his work on games like Xenon, YU-NO and EVE burst error are are so well-traveled in VGM circles and his reputation as a skilled VGM composer is rightly deserved. For many more details and kind words, read the memorial article and memorial blog post by Audi aka Audun Sorlie. [Ryu Takami] Ryu Takami is the secondary composer on EVE burst error but no slouch in the composition department. He was the primary composer for Grounseed, worked on the soundtracks for Cosmic Psycho, Rusty, and the console port of Deathsmiles. When he isn't composing, Takami is working on studio projects as a mix engineer and was the lead on the Xenon and EVE Burst remaster albums in 2008. He also released a track for the recent Ubiktune album SOUNDSHOCK 3. Make sure to check out his incredible work on both the OPNA and OPN soundtracks for Grounseed and episode 47 where we covered them in more depth.
