Last week on Radiotelevisione svizzera’s Rete Due, we talked about @whetstone.games & @pantaloon.io's OFFBEAT, a videotoy dedicated to creating music (and all the music you compose within it remains yours and you can do whatever you want with it).

Look man this game was already worth double the price of admission just for the seven doohickeys we already got so this is basically nuts

I've been shouting about OFFBEAT non stop, and let me tell ya, that is going to continue BECAUSE IT RULES SO DAMN MUCH Just looooook at these hot updates @whetstone.games have planned 😍

the texture just this one instrument adds to the game is incredible, with a whole new range of sounds now on the table for producers. The world's tiniest violin is heading to OFFBEAT the first Wednesday of September - alongside a bunch of other rad stuff in our Studio Essentials Update.

It's been two weeks since the launch of OFFBEAT, and today we're sharing a look at the Early Access Roadmap, and the various features, effects and instruments coming to the game in the month's ahead... ...starting with THE WORLD'S TINIEST VIOLIN store.steampowered.com/news/app/446...

We're heading to #gamescom from Tuesday to Friday! Talk to us about OFFBEAT, or our cool and secret plans for the future! We'll be at the Misfit Mingle on Thursday evening, but otherwise find us at the @pantaloon.io booth in the convention, or find @edsibley.bsky.social on Meet2Match :)

Can't stop doing stuff in Offbeat. Also can't stop thinking about Blippo+ and its great soundtrack. So here's some more of all of that. #picocad2
