Noa Beazley

If you like the Golden Idol games and/or rat themed jazz, check out this fun side project I contributed music to for this season's @tinymassgames.bsky.social

My favorite is when they bump their little heads together

My one caveat is that this was recorded quite some time ago now and the industry has unfortunately only become tougher. BUT if you're new to learning about these subjects, I hope this gives you some good info and a solid place to start.

Not sure if I'm more excited about DK or this rare correct usage of the word crescendo

sorry it's simply against the law to be this good at so many things

Games being showcased to a crowd under the bridge. There are pride flags hung all around the ceiling. A big sign reads DUMBO in the background in teal letters.

My Games for Change badge. It says "Noa Beazley she/her, Composer, independent"

Was in NYC for about 5 minutes but they were very good minutes!

G4C was wonderful and @gumbonyc.bsky.social threw one of the coolest events I've been to UNDER THE BRIDGE??

A big group photo of the BBQ attendees.

People sitting on the grass and gathering under tents in the park.

People chatting under tents in the park.

The tops of trees against a blue sky.

There's a reason the summer community BBQ is one of our favorite events of the year! So great to see our amazing community come out and make an already sunny and beautiful day even better.

when the dev just wanted some chill BGM but you've transcribed one billion charlie parker solos

I also just want to do my annual shout out to the organizers at Airwiggles, who volunteer their time to put on a whole ass conference every year. Making it 100% free and virtual makes audio learning accessible to everyone, and I love being a small part of making that happen.

Thanks Ben!

Seeing so many people wearing Boston Gamedev Week pins, a thing we made up and had no idea if anyone would care about, was an incredible feeling. Grateful to be part of this industry, but also to be in a position to help bring the community together and invite people in.

A PAX '25 special guest pass and a blue pin. It features a yellow bird wearing a cap with "BGW 2025" Written below. There's a very tiny "#1" next to the letters.

Five years ago I went to my first PAX not knowing anyone and with no clue how to start connecting with people in the industry. This year could not have felt like more of a full circle moment.

At least I will have spoken my truth

I said what I said.

No way, small world!!

A rack full of cassette tapes with indie game covers on them. The signs read "10 indie games in each!" "Indie games on USB!".

@pizzapranks.bsky.social's booth is probably the coolest thing I've seen at PAX

It's a beautiful last day of PAX! If you're sticking around a bit, please explore our beautiful city. I promise you there's nowhere to go but up from the Seaport.

The Condor theatre at PAX East. It's a large hall with rows of seats.

A selfie of me and Maclaine. I'm pointing at our talk, "Scoring Interactivity" on the schedule.

Okay we messed up and forgot to take a crowd selfie but you all HAVE to believe me that @maclaine.bsky.social and I had a packed theater today. Thank you so much to everyone who came to our talk!!

Composers AND non-composers, if you're at PAX, come hear about how interactive music is made!

Gonna be doing a panel among some fine folks at Pax East talking about how we started our careers in game audio! @noabeazley.bsky.social @chelwongaudio.bsky.social and Aizhou Liu!

It says BGW in big white letters with blue and yellow borders.

We’re one week away from Boston Gamedev Week, so we thought we’d make a thread to talk about everything we’ll have going on!

Okay here we go 🧵

#gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev

Very much enjoying today's cycle of soaking up the sun like a lizard, then retreating to my composition cave to work fueled by the stored heat

Audio folks coming to PAX, come hang with us!

Loving it!
