I just released a chiptune pack for sea, port and pirate games: 13 seamless loops and 5 jingles, strictly NES-style (two pulse waves, triangle bass and noise, nothing else).

- Harbour town, fish market, tavern waltz and a calm lighthouse-at-dusk theme

- Sailing overworld in 6/8, sunny beach, coral reef and treasure-isle exploration

- Pirate cove, storm at sea, a sunken-ship dungeon and a kraken boss battle

- Jingles: ship departs, treasure found, big catch, port reached, washed ashore

OGG + WAV + MIDI for every track. Loops are sample-exact and carry LOOPSTART tags, so they drop straight into RPG Maker MV/MZ. Godot users get the free Quillbit Music Director add-on inside for bar-synced switches and jingles.

The music was made with AI assistance (melodies and arrangements written by an AI agent, rendered by our own chip synth).

Full pack ($4.99): Quillbit Chiptune: Seaside. There's a free MP3 of all 18 tracks on that page too.

It's also 20% off ($3.99) in the itch.io Halloween sale from Nov 1 to Nov 4.

Free sampler with tracks from all our packs: Quillbit Chiptune Free Sampler

It's the fifth pack in the series after Classic Fantasy, Spooky, Sci-fi and Cozy Farm. Feedback welcome, especially scenes you wish were in it.

Hi all! If you need music, I made a free sampler of 9 NES-style chiptune tracks: haunted mansion, a moonlit night walk (fits "It only comes out at night"), a jump-scare sting, plus a few fantasy and sci-fi loops.

- OGG + WAV, seamless loops (RPG Maker loop tags included), all at the same loudness

- Free for jam and commercial games, just credit "Music: Quillbit Chiptune"

- The music is AI-assisted (disclosed on the page and in the README), so if you use it, please tick itch's AI disclosure for audio as the jam rules ask

Good luck with your games!

Thanks, that means a lot! The TTF is an outline, so it will scale to any size, but every letter is drawn on a 12-pixel grid (8 for Mini). At something like 18 px one font pixel lands on 1.5 screen pixels, so the renderer has to round, and some strokes come out 1 px wide and others 2 px, or blurry. Every pixel font does this.

To keep it crisp, use whole multiples (12, 24, 36... for Quillbit, 8, 16, 24... for Mini) with antialiasing and hinting off. If you need an in-between size, keep the font at 12 px and scale the whole UI by a whole number with nearest-neighbour filtering (in Godot 4: Stretch Mode viewport, Scale Mode integer, default texture filter Nearest). The BMFont files in the bitmap folder can't go off-grid at all. I'm adding a short sizing guide with a comparison picture to the README in the next free update.

I just released a pack of 138 8-bit style sound effects for RPGs:

- Magic: fire, ice, thunder, holy, dark, wind, earth, poison and charge-up, three variations each

- Combat and status: sword hits, parries, bow shots, criticals, buffs, debuffs, sleep, stun, poison ticks, revive

- Battle flow: encounter swirls, enemy defeated, flee, boss roars, level up

- World and shops: chests, doors, stairs, save crystal, inn jingle, shop buy and sell, warps, quest complete

- Monsters: slime, bat, goblin, ghost, golem, dragon roar

WAV + OGG, loudness-matched and click-free. RPG Maker MZ/MV users can drop the OGGs straight into audio/se.

Every sound was synthesized from code (nothing recorded); the synth and sound designs were written with AI assistance.

Full pack ($3.99): https://quillbit-type.itch.io/quillbit-blips-rpg-138-retro-battle-magic-world-sf...

20 free sounds to try first (commercial use OK): https://quillbit-type.itch.io/quillbit-blips-rpg-lite-20-free-retro-rpg-sfx

There's a free MP3 reel on the paid page that plays all 138 in order.

It's the battle sequel to Quillbit Blips (UI and dialogue SFX). Feedback welcome, especially sounds you wish were in it.

I made a small free Godot 4 autoload for game music, MIT licensed:

- QuillbitMusic.play("Battle", 0.5, QuillbitMusic.SYNC_BAR) switches tracks on the next bar line instead of mid-phrase

- play_jingle("Item Get", QuillbitMusic.JINGLE_PAUSE) pauses the music, plays the jingle, then resumes where it left off (or ducks instead)

- beat and bar signals for syncing lights, UI or enemies to the music

- keeps playing in pause menus, works with any OGG/MP3/WAV

- 26 automated checks pass on Godot 4.3 to 4.7

It was written with AI assistance and tested in real Godot builds.

Get it here: https://quillbit-type.itch.io/quillbit-music-director

It also reads the loop points that ship with my Quillbit Chiptune packs, so tracks load by name. You can try that with the free sampler: https://quillbit-type.itch.io/quillbit-chiptune-free-sampler . The paid packs (Classic Fantasy, Spooky, Sci-fi, Cozy Farm and the Trilogy) now include it too as a free v1.1 update.

Feedback and feature requests welcome.

I've been building two small pixel fonts for game UIs and localization, and they just got a run of free updates, so here they are.

Quillbit (12px): https://quillbit-type.itch.io/quillbit-multilingual-pixel-font-latin-cyrillic-gr... 

Quillbit Mini (5px): https://quillbit-type.itch.io/quillbit-mini-tiny-5px-multilingual-pixel-font-lat... 

What's in them (both fonts, 860 characters each):

• Latin with full Vietnamese, Central/Eastern European and Turkish
• Cyrillic, including Ukrainian, Kazakh, Kyrgyz, Tatar, Uzbek and Mongolian letters
• Greek, Hebrew (right to left), Armenian and Georgian
• Game UI symbols: arrows, box drawing that tiles edge to edge, shade blocks, menu cursors, hearts, stars, card suits, notes, check and cross

TTF, OTF and BMFont files are included, and the pixels stay crisp at whole-number sizes. They're tested in Godot 4.3 (including Hebrew right to left). Commercial use is fine with no attribution needed.

Honest notes: the fonts were made with AI assistance (the itch pages say so too), and the non-Latin scripts haven't been checked by native readers yet, so if you read one of them and something looks off, tell me and I'll fix it in a free update.
