VGM Quest - Legends of the Lounge!
VGM Quest is a simple and fun roleplaying style adventure that invites you to join the quest by composing your own video game music! Adopt an NPC encounter, write their backstory, create a custom music theme and take on the role of that character in the game to influence the outcome of the story of our party of heroes.
In this music-driven campaign, you'll meet fellow composers, forge new friendships, and experience an evolving story where your music and your choices influence the narrative. The journey begins when our band of heroes receive a call to action from the Kingdom of Melodia. Heed the call and bring your creative spirit!
VGM Quest offers a one-of-a-kind RPG style music making experience grounded in your musical imagination. Your compositions will sound the note of destiny for our heroes as the party braves dark forests, ancient ruins, sprawling cities, and realms beyond our imagination. Together, we will weave an unforgettable tapestry of music, myth, and adventure.

I know that tune!
Are you curious how sometime video game music can sound like something you have heard before? Well this curiosity is an addiction for one of our members. PhilsPhindings is a series of blog post exploring exactly this topic, and we are creating a series of videos to match, called "I know that Tune"
One day some games music enthusiasts embarked on a journey to find pop music that reminded them of the game music that they like. Some pop music reminded them more of their game music than other music. They decided to document their findings in the hopes that it might inspire future generations of composers.
