Hello beat-makers and business buddies!

How do you do fellow jobbing composers! We thought you'd like to know that OFFBEAT is launching into Early Access on July 22 . Yes, that's just little under three weeks from today! And to celebrate, we've released a brand-new track from OFFBEAT Radio called 'Future Egg'. Check it out below! The Early Access launch version will feature 7 different musical objects spread across two different chap…
Three days after our 10k milestone post, we've passed another! OFFBEAT has now been wishlisted twenty-thousand times, which for our little game about making tunes with kids toys and garden gnomes, is wildly exciting. Huge thanks to those of you that have spent time with the Demo (our median play time is nearly an hour, which is an equally exciting metric) - we've lost a non-trivial amount of de…
The first big wishlist miilestone has been hit! Off the back of the new Next Fest Demo, OFFBEAT has now seen 10,000 wishlists, and not far off the same number of Demo activations. Music to our ears. Thanks to everybody that has checked out the game so far. If you've made music you're proud of, we'd love to hear it. We've created OFFBEAT Radio as a means of publishing and sharing the best music…

Then export your music to .wav and share it with us - perhaps we'll…
Hello! Ed from Whetstone Games here! We've lifted the lid! It's bloody off! We're excited to finally reveal OFFBEAT and give you a first look at the game. In putting together this announcement, we needed to create some music for the announce trailer. The game is literally about making music, so naturally I wanted to make the track using the game itself. So I fired up OFFBEAT , plugged the Tiger…
