Hi! I'm Moosey, a video-game composer and designer! (He/They)

This channel is mainly my hub for all things creative. While music is definitely my focus (and you can expect to see a lot of that), I'm also interested in branching out into other types of content.

I'm also very open for work, particularly in indie games. Please get in contact if this is of interest!

For any and all inquiries, please contact me either via email at max@rathbone.org.uk or through Discord at Moosey#1256!

Thank you all, and stay safe :)

Hey gamers and goobers!

I realise it's been a hot minute since I've uploaded anything of substance over here, so I figured it'd be worth posting a little update as to where things are for my channels and for me at the moment!

------------

So first of all, I think it's important to mention that I start University in just under a month from now. There's going to be a lot of things in my life that will be changing quite drastically and rather quickly, and then I'm going to be getting stuck into my course, so expect things on the content side to slow down a good bit (or maybe just stay as non-existent as they have been lmao.)

What I want to stress is that, despite my lack of uploads over here, I'm still very dedicated to this channel! I'll bring something up a little later in regards to that, but just know that it's still very important to me to keep this place up and running.

I'm also still very invested in my work with other creators! For those of you that missed it, I recently released a new single 'Bossa Baby' alongside my good friend ‪@Stellamarius‬, which is available to listen to on her channel! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vhvKL...

You can also stream and download it over on my Bandcamp! moosey.bandcamp.com/

Beyond that, I'm working with many other creators on many exciting projects like Hollow Knight: Sealed Echoes that we hope to get out to you as soon as possible, so whilst I might be a little silent over here from time to time, know that I'm still doing things!! I swear!!

------------

As for my other channels, I thought I'd use this as an opportunity to roughly break down the types of content I want to put out on each of my channels:

‪@MooseyVGM‬ - All of my professional and personal music work (i.e.: Any OSTs I've worked on, any non-specific original pieces, covers/remixes, etc) as well as any very significant projects that don't fit that description!

‪@MooseyCat‬ - All of my experimental content that doesn't fit the main channel (I.e.: Anything from video analysis on games to theory videos to whatever else my silly little brain comes up with) as well as the occasional WIP for main channel projects!

‪@MooseyWasLive‬ - VODs for all of my live content (apart from anything that doesn't meet my standards in post), currently streamed on Twitch via www.twitch.tv/mooseybutlive

TL;DR: My main channel is for all of my main work, my second channel is more experimental and less specific, and my VOD channel is self-explanatory.

I care quite a lot about each of these channels, and, in an ideal world, I'd love to be putting out content on all of them semi-regularly. I have a lot of fun ideas for MooseyButDifferent, a lot of games I'd love to stream for MooseyWasLive, and far too many ideas for MooseyVGM.

All this to say, none of these channels are obsolete by any means. I have a lot of plans I'd like to realise for all of them, but I can only do so much at once.

------------

Now for a bit of a separate announcement, and something I'm very excited about...

You may remember, almost a year ago, when I published a small bundle of tracks under the name 'Forebloomed Official Soundtrack'.

These were but a portion of the full OST that I have been working on for Forebloomed, which, if you weren't aware, is a really neat Roguelike game that I've had the pleasure in assisting in the development of.

(Psst. The game is available on Itch.io. Go play it. cloudy2021.itch.io/forebloomed)

Well, I'm very happy to say that (barring any unannounced big content updates in the future) I have officially finished my work on the soundtrack!!

As of writing this, the game is currently being given a decently large update to overhaul a good few things, as well as finalise the music within the game. Once this update is released to the public, I'm going to be making arrangements to publish the full OST over on here for everyone to listen to!

(For anyone wondering, I'll be taking down those original six videos, as those tracks will be published with the full release.)

I'll likely give a bit more information sooner to that point, but I'm very excited to share that music with all of you! I've grown a lot as a composer in the time that it's taken for me to finish my work on this game, so I think it'll be an interesting benchmark going forward.

------------

To end off this post, I guess it'd be worth just briefly going into my immediate plans for what's next.

I don't want to make any concrete promises as I know what I'm like, but I'm happy to share where I'm at as of writing this.

So, as I said before, with Uni coming up there are going to be a lot of big changes happening for me. One of those is that I'll be moving out, which could mean good or bad things for content.

The good news is that having my own independent space might be great for my productivity, as well as my ability to stream more regularly or do things that would otherwise be difficult when living in a house with others.

The (potential) bad news is that I'm not sure what the Internet strength is going to be like, or if my accommodation space will be good enough for me to work in, or even just how much free time I'll have. There are a lot of unknowns at present, so it's going to take me riding it out for a little bit to figure out what I'll be able to continue doing comfortably.

With that said, however, I really want to start regularly putting out content. It's much easier said than done, but I'm hoping that the change of pace will drive me to start creating more things and being more of a presence over here.

In terms of what I'd like to put out, I have a lot of half-baked projects that I'd really love to finish. I have two video projects for MooseyButDifferent that I'd love to finish- one of them has a completed script draft already, and the other is more ambitious but still really exciting if I can pull it off.

I've also maintained a document for all manner of covers, remixes and even original ideas for music things on my main channel. It'd be great to actually start working through some of those and making more covers and the like. I've also got a really cool original piece that I wrote earlier this year that I'd love to flesh out and release. (I might put it over on my second channel as a WIP for people interested in that.)

And speaking of WIPs, I know there are a ridiculous amount of people that really want to see a fleshed out version of the One-Winged Angel X Cynthia's Theme mashup. I haven't forgotten about that! It's just finding the time, energy and motivation to sit down and make something I'm happy with that I've yet to ascertain. Don't worry, though- I still want to finish it! I'm just not sure when.

------------

That's just about everything I felt like saying!

Sorry if this got a little rambly- I'm kind of just writing off the cuff, so a lot of this is just my brain spilling over.

A massive thank you for anyone who has read this far, and to everyone over on this channel and all of my channels that have stuck around. I really, truly appreciate you all, and I hope that I'll be able to start creating some actual content for everyone sometime soon.

I'd love to hear what you guys think about my content, as well as what sort of things you'd like to see. Please consider leaving a comment on this post and sharing anything you like- it's always nice to get to hear from people! I'm also very willing to answer any questions people might have, or discuss anything that pertains to my work.

With that all said, that just about wraps this up. So, once again, thank you to everyone for sticking around, thank you to everyone who enjoys and shares my work, and I hope to have some exciting things to show you down the line.

- Moosey 💜

Hey all!

In case you missed it, I recently played through a game called TUNIC over on Twitch. It was a really wonderful game, and I'm extremely happy that I got to share my first experience of it with everyone watching.


My Twitch: www.twitch.tv/mooseybutlive


If you happened to miss the streams and would like a way to watch them, do not worry! The full set of VODs have now been uploaded over on my VOD channel, ‪@MooseyWasLive‬! Please consider heading over there if that's of any interest to you, and make sure to subscribe as well!

We'll need to decide soon what game I'm going to stream next, so I might throw a poll out over here at some point in the very near future. Please stay tuned!!



That's all. Thanks, everyone! 💜

For anyone who missed it, I recently set up a third channel called ‪@MooseyWasLive‬!

As the name (hopefully) suggests, this channel is where I'll be uploading the VODs of any streams that happen over on my Twitch.

My Twitch: www.twitch.tv/mooseybutlive


I've already uploaded the VODs from yesterday's stream, so they are available to watch if you are so inclined! I'm aiming to stream more often soon, so hopefully the channel will be populated with a good amount of content.

Thanks, all! 💜

Hello hello!

I recently put up a new video on my second channel going into the new #TearsoftheKingdom trailer and theorising about the potential of a certain settlement in the sky potentially making a return.

Please consider checking it out! 💜

Hey all!

In case you missed it, a new video just went live on my second channel- a deep dive into the new trailer for the Pokémon Scarlet and Violet DLC, 'The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero'.

This sort of content is something I'm a bit new to, but my mind has been all over the place following the initial reveal of these expansions and I thought it would be fun to do a little bit of analysis/speculation on what we've seen so far!

Please consider checking it out if that sounds like something of interest, and, as always, I wish you all the best!
