Hey everyone! Recently there was a small issue with the backend (docker shenanigans) that brought the site down and then took a bit to fix

Things should be fixed for now and we will be looking more at it in the future to try to prevent the site from being taken down that way again

Downtime was around 30 minutes

The best place to reach us when theres an outage with the site and to receive updates of it is on the discord server or matrix space or on one of our microblog accounts

• Discord Server

• Matrix Space

• Main Microblog Account (hosted on the same infrastructure so if the entire server goes down the other account is used)

• Secondary Microblog Accout

Hey everyone! I wanted to do a post here talking about an event going on in the fediverse called Lemmyvision. This is a competition where various communities each choose a song and then those are voted on by users to rank which ones people enjoy the most.

Its being ran as a fun way to see various kinds of music from around the world, sharing more between our online communities across Lemmy, and as a way to songs from lesser known artists. We are participating with game soundtracks as an opportunity to showcase new advancements in the game development space, especially for indie games that might otherwise not get much exposure.

There was a national final to determine the song our instance would submit in the programming.dev event community. After voting the song Your Inception from the game Casette Beasts was chosen.

Submitted Songs and Voting

Ive compiled all of the songs into playlists on three different platforms for watching

• Youtube Link
• Spotify Link
• Invidious Link

Feel free to listen to them and vote using the voting link https://tally.so/r/nWNgKQ. When selecting what instance you are representing theres an option to select programming.dev for people voting from the instance.

Voting is done by ranking the songs from your favorite to your least favorite. Users from our instance can't rank the song we submitted to keep things fair.

If you want to chat with other people about the competition theres a community for it here

Future Events

This post will be going into the meta community for people who might not know the event community exists (and i'll likely be doing another post when the event Canvas is happening).

Any other future posts will be posted in the programming.dev event community. All major event posts will be made on our blog with the category set to the event name and the tag "Event".

Information

Casette Beasts is a game made in Godot by Bytten Studio and published by Raw Fury. Joel Baylis is the composer for the soundtrack while Shelby Harvey did the vocals. The studio is primarily based out of the UK with their publisher being based in Sweden.

Its a creature collector where monsters are recorded to tapes and then you can take on their form or combine two forms together to use in turn based combat.

Your Inception is a bonus track that appears when fighting a secret boss in the game added in as a reference to Bytten Studio's previous game, Lenna's Inception.

Lyrics

Here you are
Faced with a text of blood
An honest chip on your shoulder
Won’t make a soldier
Out of anyone

Golden or draped in black
It takes just a splinter in the right frame of mind
To break all obstacles you might find

Can’t you
Feel your true calling
It’s endlessly falling
Driving you here
Despite your repentance
And best intentions
Nothing to fear
You’ll figure it ou-ou-ou-out

Now let’s jump into the mix
It feels tectonic
Can you hear the shift

Are you craving acceptance
Now your inception’s
Finally here
You’ll figure it ou-ou-ou-out

If you learn to loosen your mind
You never know what you might find 'round here
The box looks smaller from the outside

Holes that they made will cave in
A dream of filling boots too big
In time you’ll see
How brave that you need to be

Can’t you
Feel your true calling
It’s endlessly falling
Driving you here
Despite your repentance
And best intentions
Nothing to fear
You’ll figure it ou-ou-ou-out

Now let’s jump into the mix
It feels tectonic
Can you hear the shift

Are you craving acceptance
Now your inception’s
Finally here
You’ll figure it ou-ou-ou-out

Silent sirens airing
Tremors causing cracks in the crown
They will never rest 'til
All that’s left are roots in the ground

Don’t you look so doubtful
All will be alright in the end
If you play your cards right
Keeping your hand close to your chest

Don’t you
Feel yourself crawling
No longer stalling
Destiny’s here

Time to find a new groove
Polish your best moves
And turn up this song
You’re leaving it all out to dry now

Stand out amongst it all
The quicker you get up
The harder they fall

Face the acceptance
Now your inception’s
Finally here
You’re figuring it ou-ou-out
