I did a pretty in-depth interview a while ago about our game Qbeh-1, which includes some musings on design philosophy, inspirations, the experience of developing a game, game music, and things like that:

Qbeh-1: The Atlas Cube is now released on Steam! You can get it from Steam with a 25% discount for a limited time =)

So we just released our game Qbeh-1 on Steam (http://store.steampowered.com/app/252550/?snr=1_4_4__105) and i've posted the soundtrack on Bandcamp! Have a listen and tell me what you think =)

hey everyone ^__^
We're releasing our game on Steam tonight and i've put up a song from the soundtrack on my Soundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/launchablesocks/palace

I'm releasing the entire soundtrack on Bandcamp tonight as well so i'll post that here too when the time comes!

I put up a previewtrack of the OST for Qbeh-1, an atmospheric first person puzzler that's coming out on Steam in early May
It's for a night time level: https://soundcloud.com/launchablesocks/night-time
tell me what you think maybe!

Just posted a new song on my Soundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/launchablesocks/qbeh-1-gameplay-trailer-music

It's a song for the soundtrack of a game i'm working on called Qbeh-1: The Atlas Cube. I made it for an autumn-themed level.

I always liked just how Zelda implicitly incorporated different styles of music, like an appropriation of Ravel's Bolero (

) or the New Wave Bossa Nova (

). Incidentally, I heard an awesome Bossa Nova very nicely applied to Amanita's Machinarium the other day: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZRtCOJ6yrXw
Generally, Bossa Nova's seem to be used as "elevator music" or maybe Brazilian style bar Jazz (unsurprisingly, since the Bossa Nova is a Brazilian style of Jazz) But in Machinarium I really liked how it was put in a different context or atmosphere, namely that of a robot bar
I don't think i could think of any genre or type of music that hasn't been used to great effect in some game or other, but maybe that's just me...

I'm actually writing a soundtrack right now for a game called Qbeh-1: The Atlas Cube using only my own samples (things like guitar riffs/notes, toy instruments, kitchen appliances, basically anything i can find that makes interesting noises that i can record) and it seems to be working out for me. I wrote a blog post about it some time ago: http://liquidflower.wordpress.com/2013/10/17/sampled-instruments/

I also uploaded a preview on soundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/launchablesocks/iceworld

I quite like working like this for now, and it gives me a sense of security that it's simply impossible that anyone else's music will sound like mine. Uniqueness is of course no guarantee for quality, but quality can't really always be guaranteed as a musician i reckon =)

Hey all,

We're proud to announce the release of Qbeh-1: The Atlas Cube on Steam in April!

Qbeh-1 is an atmospheric puzzle/exploration game in which you pick up and use cubes to solve puzzles and progress through an abstract, floating world. It's the prequel to our first game, Qbeh which is available for free on Desura. The game will take the core concepts of the original Qbeh and vastly expand on it, using different types of cubes to create more complex and interesting puzzles.

Watch the first teaser here:



You can follow the project and get the latest updates from our facebook and the Qbeh-1 website.

Hey everyone,
I'm working on the soundtrack for a game called Qbeh-1, a prequel to Qbeh, an atmospheric puzzlegame which was released on Desura in 2012 (http://www.desura.com/games/qbeh). Qbeh-1 is set for release on Steam somewhere in early 2014, and I'm working on finalizing the soundtrack.

I've been making all of the music using only my own recorded samples. Some of these are instruments (like guitar, ukulele, and toy instruments I bought in different toystores and on marketplaces), and many of them are everyday objects like pens, teapots, radiators, wineglasses, icecubes, etcetera. There's even some of my own voice in there. It's been an interesting experiment so far, but I haven't been able to give it much of a testdrive yet. So i've decided to upload a song to Soundcloud to see what others might think, and maybe I'll be able to put up some more songs later as well. I'm very curious what others think, so please give it a listen and give me your thoughts!

This particular song has been made for a snowy/icy level:

I've also written a small piece about using homemade samples for the music in this game on the devlog, which you can read here:

cheers!

I wasn't entirely sure what I wanted to make when I went into it, but I think I really like how it turned out.

sounds quite skyrim-y. in a good way! = )

Developing for the Rift has certainly been interesting, in a good way of course! You'll see your own game in an entirely different light... we were quite surprised by how big the blocks looked! An overwhelming experience really = )
Right now we're actually working on a sequel to Qbeh, with full Rift support right off the bat. Going to be very interesting, at least from a developing standpoint ; )

Kind of experimental:

Hey everyone!

For the past few days we've been working on a Rift supported version of our first game "Qbeh".
There might be some glitches here and there, but we're working on sorting those out as we go along.

For the best playing experience we recommend using an Xbox360 controller. Controls can be found in the readme file.

Hope you enjoy :-)

I do enjoy! those guitar tracks are really nice = ) is it real guitar?

Very relaxing and awesome, especially the background. I like it. 

Also 4amjam kinda reminds me of the soundtrack to Brick. What do you use to make your music, by the way?

Thank you very much!
I use Ableton live mostly, and for instruments i try to use my own samples as much as possible, mixed with sinewave-y instruments here and there. 4amjam is kindof an exception: i was just toying around with the "4am" instrument in live (hence the name; it was actually 2am when i made that). fun fact: i was watching Shutter Island when i made it =)
