Hello! Thank you for this pack, I'm using nearly all of them in my upcoming demo: https://junkakeru.itch.io/yet-another-killing-game-demo
I'll have that two line credit in a README and in the end credits of my game, and also be crediting you as "Joshua McLean" in my About page :)
Hi Jun! Thanks for using the music and crediting it. I’ll be sure to check out the demo when it’s released!
Hi Josh, thank you again for the music! The game demo is live now! I recorded a short preview and tagged you on Twitter, if you just want to see a sample! :D
Hello! Thank you for sharing this beautiful music. I used the "Smallheart" and "Toybox" tracks in my VN, but the game is written in Ukrainian, game's name translated like "In a stained glass window".
Hey! Thanks for using my music. Glad you liked it and it worked for your game!
Heya I just gotta say this is amazing! I have a small team of teenage game makers and we plan to make a horror rpg game called Amber Mansion. We are very excited to develo this game and since you seem to have experience with the horror genre, got any advice? (The game has ghost children which would go perfectly with the "toybox" track)
Hiya! Thanks for the kind words. And thanks for using my music!
Wow, that sounds pretty good! I'm on a tight budget to try making my first game (i.e. my wallet) so I would most like go for free tracks... I was wondering If I can "cut out" a chunk of a track to have it more like a loop? Like not playing the full track... Please let me know.
Hey, thanks for asking! And I’m glad you like the music.
Yes, you are free to adapt the music as long as you follow the terms of the license (include credit for the original music). This is covered under “adapt” in the license here: https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/
Thank you for your quick reply! I'll drop a message/link if I finish making the game (a simple VN) Most likely 1st quarter 2022...
