I asked an AI to rephrase what I believe can make a game better and it went full laser beam:
Tips for making games better:
Don’t use music merely as an illustration or background layer. Music can actively do things in a game. It can guide the player, signal changes in gameplay,…
To all the musicians out there, working tirelessly on your craft: thank you.
Your value to music will always be immense.
When you perform, you give yourself to the music and that gift is one I am deeply grateful for.
I've always said that my best rewards come from what players say about HOW the music works in my games.
Lately I've been bombarded with messages of support and I must say it gives me purpose to keep going in trying to offer new experiences with music in games. Merci to all!

It’s an amazing journey through my own gamer’s life. Highly recommended.
However, having an Atari ST next to an Amiga 500 is…evil!!! đŸ™‚
