Hi LD community, I’m shady and this will be my first game comp (so be gentle). I wanted to see if I could get some suggestions from the game makers out there about their favorite music making application\/technique. I hope you don’t think that’s like aiding the enemy.<\/p>\n

Good luck to everyone!<\/p>","time":"April 18th, 2010 8:48 pm","title":"Music for yer game"}
