I knew Moon Base 99 needed a spacey, ambient sci-fi soundtrack that I couldn't create myself. Retro Asobi immediately understood the direction and delivered the perfect music in no time. The track is almost 10 minutes long, never gets repetitive […] he even delivered a darker, more intense version for meteor shower events, seamlessly blending both versions together. Dedicated, talented, and a genuinely great person to work with. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 10/10 highly recommended.
Amazing music artist to work with. His chiptunes easily replicate the 80s/NES style that I was looking for. With his help, he was able to help breathe life into my retro inspired game. Would recommend him to anyone looking for the retro sounds. I would gladly work with him again.
A huge thank you to Retro Asobi for his contribution to my project. He understood the spirit of the project perfectly and brought its musical aspects to life. His technical expertise and ability to adapt to different tools allowed him to deliver a result that met my expectations.

★ FAQ
readme.txt — common questions
How much does it cost?
Every project is different, so I quote per project based on the amount of music/SFX, style and deadline. Send me a short brief and you'll get a clear quote, no strings attached.
How does payment work?
Projects are split into delivery milestones, for example, per batch of tracks or SFX. Each milestone is paid on delivery of the files, not tied to internal validation, playtesting or the game's release date. This keeps the process fair and predictable for both sides: you always know what you're paying for, and I always know when a stage is complete.
Do you handle implementation and dynamic audio?
Yes, there are three options, depending on your project: (1) asset delivery: game-ready audio files (WAV/OGG) for your team to implement; (2) for games running directly on retro consoles or emulators (NES, Game Boy, Mega Drive), corrections and debugging until the audio runs correctly on the target hardware; (3) full implementation and audio logic using FMOD middleware, including dynamic/adaptive music that reacts to gameplay.
What do I get at delivery?
Game-ready files (WAV and/or OGG), seamless loops where needed, and clean file naming so importing into Unity, Godot, GameMaker or any engine is painless. Stems and alternate versions are available on request.
Can I request revisions?
Yes, every project includes a set number of revision rounds, defined in your quote. Since you hear music early in the process, big direction changes happen while they're still easy to make. If you need extra revisions or a full redo beyond what's included, that's totally fine. We simply agree on the additional rate before I start.
Do you only make chiptune?
8-bit and 16-bit sound is my specialty, but not my limit. I also work across electronic, synthwave, PS1-inspired textures, ambient sci-fi and relaxing piano atmospheres. Retro soul with contemporary production.
My game is still early, is it too soon to talk?
Not at all! Getting audio involved early usually makes the game better. Even if you're just exploring, say hi.
