Making Music for Video Games \\ Full Workflow

Hey hey folks! I have been working on a soundtrack for an awesome video game called Turtle Riders (demo available on Steam). In this long form video, I show my process from coming up with the theme and melody, to arrangement, sound selection and all the bumps in the road along the way! I will upload the individual tracks to my channel in the coming weeks but I wanted to share what it's like in my studio!

If yall enjoy this type of video I will record and upload more. If you would like me to add anything to these types of videos (more commentary, more explanation etc...) then I'm happy to do so. I have 4 tracks already created for the game and I have two more to write. I hope to see ya around for the next videos!
