Thank you all for the many kind messages & generosity! It's a bit overwhelming! So very grateful. I was on a plane for the whole thing, en route home after a wonderful concert performing superb game music by my friends/colleagues in collaboration with the @baftagames.bsky.social. Which was a BLAST!

By any measure that counts, Giant Squid games are absolutely Indie. Pathless was published by Annapurna and I doubt anyone would consider them a publisher on the same financial playing field as Sony, EA, Ubisoft etc ...

What a lovely writeup of SWORD OF THE SEA! Bandcamp did a piece on their favorite game OSTs of 2025 & had these incredibly kind words to share!
