Monthly Chiptune Challenge #4 - Samhainophobia!

Sup world, it's time for another challenge!

When it comes to creativity October truly is my second favorite month of the year, it's just fun to have a reason to write spooky lines with a bit of playfulness.

So fire up your Game Boy/DAW/synth/Ouija board or whatever ritual you use to breathe life into something terrifying, with sounds that belong in the past but are still religiously celebrated over here <3

If only there where some awesome musicians out there who can save this poor girl!

Le rules (please read them carefully as there might have been some slight updates!):

  1. Three weeks for the contest to write a original piece, closing date will be Oct 22nd.
  2. Only original uploads for this contest: this is NOT a moment to try and promote older work.
  3. Absolutely No AI generated music will be accepted, when in doubt I will ask you to provide proof of your work.
  4. Your submission has to be chiptune but like before that is vaguely defined, I don't mind what you use and how you use it, as long as it makes me want to dust off that good ol' classic system because your epic music is giving me an urge to kill something pixelated!!
  5. Max 1 submission per artist name.
  6. Stick to the contest prompt, if your track does not bring out any Halloween vibes, it won't be accepted for the voting round.

You can drop your track here

I expect tracks that makes me want to call the ghostbusters!

This month (fun?) fact:

Samhainophobia means fear of halloween, there are people out there who are going to have an extra spooky month!

Now go and be awesome!

-Carf!

PS: I have added an option to opt-out of the monthly mix, just in case if for any reason people do not like to be part of it but still want to participate with the contest itself.
