Hi there, and happy Portfolio Day!

I'm MelonadeM, and I create game audio - I've got a few games under my belt at this point, in various styles, both released and ongoing - you can read all about it on my Portfolio page: https://melonadem.com/Portfolio/

If you're at all interested, do reach out! I'm available via e-mail, Discord (melonadem), or via messages here. Thank you so much for your attention!

Ebb and Flow (YM2151 + C140)

Hey so I haven't been active for a hot minute - my apologies, IRL stuff + burnout have hit pretty hard, but I think I'm past that (at least for now).

Please enjoy the song in the meantime!

I started this on the 31st of May 2023. I didn't exactly finish this, but whatever was finished got transformed into an 8-bit version for a Mega Man fangame (Mega Man Y+1: Operation X.M.A.S., released Dec. 2023), and that version got completed.

I had decided to finish this edition of the song as well and in a way that honours and complements the chiptune version that got finalised first. I'll be completely honest and say that this surpassed my expectations on how it'll sound when put together.

It's been a while since I posted. Here's something I cooked up! Original song by RRThiel for MEGA MAN PERFECT BLUE

Here's a more detailed image on how exactly I go about creating avatars! If you want to get your own, feel free to reach out via email or Discord (melonadem). [ID: An infogram for my avatar creating process, containing various images such as a reference image, sketch, blocking out, shading and final touch ups. End ID]

Here's something I made during the initial hype period for Sonic Superstars - someone posted a while ago some visuals from Speed Jungle and I wanted to create a piece of music that'd fit it - went for a Tee Lopes-style thing! I think I did well! What do you think?

Here's what I've been up to for the past week! It was a lot of fun working on these pixel art commissions - avatars for various people. Thank you to both of you again a bunch for commissioning these!

I held a poll over on some of my socials about what the big 2024 project will be - the results are in, it's going to be a full-on 90s CD-style arrange of the Journey to Silius NES soundtrack! Thanks for participating if you did! See you around. [ID: Image of the aforementioned poll - the results were as follows: 6% for Nemesis 2 MSX, 22% For Haunted Castle SC55, 20% for Gradius III MSX, and 52% for Journey to Silius. End ID]

I wrote this theme for one of my friends' OC, Candrin! I wanted this song to feel like it came right out of a Capcom CPS2 arcade machine - I think I did well! Huge thanks to That_Artisan for commissioning this! I don't think they're here, but they're wonderful all the same.

Here's the 8850/DTM draft version I promised earlier today!

[melonadem]

ENIGMATIC NEBULA (YM2151 + SEGAPCM) Made this a while back, based on a mostly-finished doodle I wrote with my SoundCanvas 8850 (which I will post later separately)

I created an avatar for @darkonius64's OC! It's a 48x48 animated sprite, colours are loosely based on AAP-64, with tweaked colours for cohesion as well as in-between shades.

Pixel art is one of these things I oughta do more, but don't get to. Hopefully that'll change one day!
