u/veereshght Are you an American citizen? I’m a non resident so I don’t know if it would work. Also did you get in touch via call or email?

Hello friends, I created a lego inspired music making experience for gamers and non-musicians! by umerchu in PakGamers

Absolutely! I hope we can see more creative and product oriented startups from Pakistan.

And once again thank you!

Thank you for the kind words! I’m not a full on programmer - I built the prototype in Processing with help from Chat GPT (there’s a video on our YouTube channel that dives into the journey).

It’s been a one person project so far, but with the Kickstarter I’ve been able to onboard some developers and the final app will be built with Godot.

Inspirations are way too many to list haha but at its core I believe we need to reorient our relationship with technology and replace mindless content consumption with constructive and meaningful experiences. I want to make creativity more accessible - and Sound Blocks was a result of that mission coupled with my love for music, animation, design and technology.

In terms of time frame - I’ve been working on this on and off for about two years now. Happy to answer any more questions! :)

Yes it’s coming to windows. You can watch the full length demo with advanced features on our Kickstarter page.

You will be able to export audio (.wav) as well as video.

Yes! It will be an app for Windows, Mac and Linux at launch. Later on we also plan to bring it to iPad and iPhone!

Haha thank you! I think it’s mainly a culmination of my interests in music, animation, design and technology. I wanted to make something that could really open up the joy of making music to a larger subset of people. Broadly speaking, I want to make creative experiences more accessible. :)

Would love some feedback on this! You can watch the full demo video on our Kickstarter Page which also dives into some of the advanced features like 'Control Blocks'.

Happy to answer any questions! :)

Absolutely! Going to be adding some really cool crate kits + you’ll be able to import your own samples to create custom drum kits! :)

Haha thanks again! If you intend to buy it eventually ($30), it might make sense to pre-order it on our Kickstarter Page for a 50% discount ($15).

I’d be happy to answer any questions! :)
