STEEL_PLUS is an electronic music producer from Japan who has created the soundtracks to Blue Revolver, Maiden Spell, and One Step From Eden.

You can dig through and find some synthwave, dream pop or...

Thunder Lotus Games are an indie dev team from Montreal whos catalouge includes Juntun, Sundered and the recently released Spiritfarer. All three of these titles have been scored by Max LL a Canadian multi-instrumentalist who has created the music for an extensive resume of short films, documentarys, games and commercials. His music has been preformed by Montreal's Metropilitan Orchestra and he recently released not only the Spiritfarer OST but also a lovely 5 song EP called Regeneration. Thunder Lotus describes Spiritfarer as "a cozy managment game about dying." The amount of care and detail put into this wonderful handrawn adventure is evident from start...
