I make covers of music from games I like sometimes.
I usually make 8 bit covers of music from indie games, but sometimes I might do other things.
My 8 bit covers aren't technically 8 bit because they doesn't conform to any of the limitations of NES or Gameboy or whatever. I just like chucking in a bunch of notes into my DAW, while using 8 bit sounding instruments. 8 bit is just the easiest way to get across what my music sounds like, since I use almost exclusively square, 12.5/25% pulse, triangle waves, and noise. There are terms that are technically more accurate, like fake bit or digital fusion, but they're not very widely used terms outside of enthusiasts, so 8 bit is much more useful for most people to understand what I do.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR 1000 SUBSCRIBERS!!!
Sorry this post is a few days late (actually 77 subs past 1K already lol), I've been so completely overwhelmed by the response to my deltarune fangame Lightners Live Plus that I didn't get round to writing this. I've been really busy responding to comments/replies (I think I'm finally pretty much caught up now, but I might have missed some, so sorry if I haven't at least liked yours, I'm trying my best lol), fixing bugs (just put out the 2nd post-launch patch), and finishing that Outer Wilds cover I released 2 days ago.
Anyway back to the reason I'm making this whole post instead of explaining why it's late lol. 1000 wow, that many people wanting to listen to my silly little 8 bit covers is crazy to me. 350K views is insane too, more than 1/3 of a million omg. Thank you so much for all your support, it really means a lot to me. I'll be making many more covers. Deltarune Ch3&4 are so close now, I can't wait to play them, and finally get to cover some new Toby Fox music. And of course I'll be covering other stuff too, like In Stars And Time, Undertale Yellow, and much more!
...Ok now back to Lightners Live Plus. So, if you haven't seen it yet, it's a fangame recreation of the rhythm game from Deltarune Ch3 that I just released! It actually came out on the same day I hit a thousand subscribers, it wasn't really intended as a 1K subs celebration/special, but the timing just ended up being literally perfect, so sure I guess it kinda is lmao. Here's the link to play it: ezioeagle.itch.io/lightners-live-plus It's a browser game so you don't even need to download anything! I also put out a trailer for it here on youtube, here it is: https://youtu.be/HZT2iKjndjc . I've already released 2 small patches, and I'm working on another bigger one now.
It's been amazing to see this many people like Lightners Live Plus, including a bunch of people I already followed and looked up to! (no Shayy jumpscare yet but maybe eventually :P ) I've been wanting to actually take part in the community more than just posting covers for a while, but tbh social anxiety and stuff meant I never really engaged with other people much apart from replying when they comment (which is still hard for me tbh). Maybe this will help me to get better at that in the future. Or maybe I'll just not have time to, being so busy with working on covers and Lightners Live Plus lmao.
But yeah, got lots of cool stuff coming, thanks again for your support!
DELTARUNE TOMORROW!!!

I've made a bunch more progress on my Lightners Live Deltarune fangame, including getting it running in we browser, so you won't even need to download it! I've made a bunch of other progress too, you can check out my progress updates here bsky.app/profile/ezioeagle.bsky.social/post/3lnzyo… . I've also made the beta build playable for my Patreon members, on top of the other cover related perks they get. I'm doing this both as a thanks for the support and also in case they find any bugs that I don't. Here's the link if you're interested in joining :) www.patreon.com/c/EzioEagle . Full release will be soon, definitely before Ch3&4!

Thank you for 900 subscribers! Really getting close to 1000 now!
Also, I'm making a Deltarune fangame that a recreation of the LIGHTNERS LIVE rhythm game! I've made a lot of progress on it, The basic gameplay is mostly done, and I'm working on the menu, more maps, and other stuff now. I've been sharing updates on it on my Bluesky and Twitter, here's the latest one as of posting this: bsky.app/profile/ezioeagle.bsky.social/post/3lmugp… I'm hoping to release it soon, maybe like 2-3 weeks

Thank you so much for 750 subscribers! That's three quarters of the way to 1K, it would be really awesome to hit that. Hitting 1K subs does unlock some stuff for the channel, like finally taking back some of the (very small amount of) money my covers make in ads back from google :3 I also hit 250K views total recently, which is honestly mindblowing, it's absolutely wild to think my work has been watched and listened to that many times. I've been working pretty hard on covers lately (new one tomorrow), and I definitely want to continue that, with a bunch of Deltarune chapters 3&4 when that comes out, so subscribe if you want to see them :)

Today is the first anniversary of me starting my channel, so I figured I'd yap a bit. I've already talked a bunch about what led me to creating the channel (in the description of the ISAT King's Theme cover), so I won't talk about that too much here. I just want to say thank so so much for watching, whether you've been here since near the beginning, or if this is the first video you've seen from me. I've kinda hinted at it before, but yeah let's just say mental health has been pretty rough, but doing this, seeing that people actually like what I make, really means more to me than I can express. Thank you so, so much. I want to keep doing this for as long as I can, and I've got some big goals for this next year.
Also, this was meant to go in the description of the Game Over (Don't Leave Me Alone Here) that I just posted today https://youtu.be/uon_nNA6D78 , but it's too long for a youtube description, so feel free to listen to it while you read this, if you've played In Stars And Time because it's kinda spoilery (but also go play it if you haven't, it's such a great game that Not Enough people have played)
Finishing my 2 main cover album projects, In Stars And Time and Undertale Yellow, will be a big focus. ISAT will be basically the entire OST, minus a few that are extremely short, or just versions of other tracks. Since the UTY soundtrack is huge, 135 tracks, I can't do all of them, within some reasonable time frame at least. So I'm aiming to make a little album of around 30 ish covers. I'm a bit under half way for both of them, so it will take a while. I'll also be doing some other covers from other games I like, just whenever I feel like it. Obviously the other big thing coming is Deltarune Chapters 3&4, which will be releasing really soon, I'm guessing late march to early May, hopefully on the earlier side of that range. I'm definitely going to be doing covers of that, probably quite a lot. After they come out, I'll probably be doing a few weeks of only Deltarune covers, and then going back to a mix.
Another thing I want to do is potentially putting my covers on streaming services (Spotify, Bandcamp, etc). It would be so cool to have my music on them, but unfortunately that's a lot more work than it sounds, it's not as simple as just uploading it. I'd need to do a bunch of work fully polishing it to their rules and standards, making album art, and I'll have to pay for cover licences and stuff. Another big problem is that you can't add tracks to an existing album on most services (you can on Bandcamp, but not most others like Spotify), so I can't just just release an album now and add new covers as I make them. So I have to wait till I'm done with all the ones I want to cover, and then post them all at once, which will probably be a while lol. I could release them as singles but that has its own problems.
Another goal is to get to 1000 subs, since that will mean I unlock some new stuff for the channel. The main one being finally being able to take back some of that money from google that my vids make from ads lol. Obviously it's not going to be a lot, but it would still be nice. So yea, if you like my covers (and if you're reading this far into this wall of text, it's safe to say you do lmao), and you're not subscribed yet, please do, it would really help me out. If you really want to help out even more, another way is by joining my Patreon www.patreon.com/c/EzioEagle , or becoming a Youtube Member. They're 100% optional, but I hugely appreciate anyone who does it (thanks 60lapie60 :) ). You'll also get some cool perks like getting updates on what I'm working on and WIPs, and getting your name at the end of my videos. I also sometimes post bonus covers that are old and I'm not planning on posting here, at least in their current form, because they're not up to my current standards. I don't do these too often, but I'm posting 2 of them today, THE WORLD REVOLVING and BIG SHOT. I might end up remaking/polishing them up to my current standards and posting them as a proper cover here, but for now, you can check out the "beta" versions there :) You'll get the same stuff whether you use Patreon or youtube Memberships, but Patreon is cheaper since Youtube has a big fee, so I'd recommend Patreon. You can also give one off donations through Ko-Fi or Youtube super chats, but I definitely recommend Patreon/memberships instead, since you'll get stuff in return.
I also have some more personal goals, one of them is to actually talk to people more, to say I have social anxiety would be an understatement lol. Just posting my music for thousands of people is way more than I thought I could do before I started this channel, which is a big step! ...but it's still Not Enough. So I'm going to try to be a bit more proactive with that sort of stuff. I don't really need to say this publicly, but idk I guess I'm just hoping that me saying this here will push me to actually do it more lmao. So yea check out my Bluesky bsky.app/profile/ezioeagle.bsky.social (and twitter... I guess... twitter.com/EzioEagle21 ), I'll maybe try to make it more than just a cover reposting account, and actually talk to people there sometimes lol.
But yeah, thanks so much for listening to my silly bleeps and bloops, I can't wait to make more cool stuff!
Also I hid the title of my next cover in this somewhere, not the obvious ones, it's integrated into a sentence, I wonder if anyone can find it (well I have actually mentioned it twice before, obviously on the Patreon/Youtube Membership, but also somewhere publicly, but shh that's cheating)
