Another really exciting feature that will be airing on Episode 5 of Game Jams - my chat with @jacoblivesmusic about the music in Forbidden Solitaire, the upcoming card-slashing horror game by @nightsignalentertainment and @greyaliengames Forbidden Solitaire is a game about unearthing the contents of a cryptic 1995 CD-ROM that should have never existed. From the creators of Ancient Enemy and Home Safety Hotline. I featured an unreleased track from Forbidden Solitaire in my Day of the Devs episode a few weeks ago, so with the game's release right around the corner, I'm excited to be joined by one of the musicians on this episode! Jake and I talk about the eerily unique vibe of the game, the collaborative soundtrack, how it came to be, and heaps more. Tune in live 2-6am AEDT this Thursday morning, or listen back on demand via the PBSFM website or app.

On this week's episode of Game Jams, I'll be broadcasting my chat with @alecsheamusic about his fast-paced soundtrack for @smashattackstudios ' upcoming precision platformer, Nullstar: Solus. BE FASTER. Nullstar: Solus has you take on the role of a corpo scav drone pilot, tasked with tearing through the decaying corpse of a world to salvage the remains of a powerful energy source. Master flight through hostile environments and deadly security measures in 100 precision platforming levels. This soundtrack's been on my wishlist for a while now, and I've been spinning early versions of some of these tracks since late last year, most recently on Test Pressing in January. So, with the game's release right around the corner, I'm excited to share some brand new tracks from the album and hear about all the musical collaborators who made it unique. Tune in live 2-6am AEDT this Thursday morning, or listen back on demand via the PBSFM website or app.
