Here’s one I haven’t seen mentioned, nuclear throne has an amazing soundtrack. Shit I gotta go play it again now lmao
So basically it’s Andrew Hulshult.
I recommend Dusk to people just for the music.
I mean, the game is good too, but the soundtrack just goes so hard
Verily. I don’t even play FPS games that much, but Dusk and Amid Evil are where it’s at music-wise.
Subnautica - Abandon Ship
Techtonica - almost all the tracks
doseone is the most underrated producer for indie games. His “actual” music is fucking insane, as well.
Did you, reader, play
Enter the Gungeon
Gang Beasts
Escape Academy
Disc Room
Sludge Life
Orbitalis
Super Game Jam
Heavy Bullets
The Samurai Gunn
If so, DOSEONE SOUNDTRACK!
Check out his album with the late, great Alias - Less is Orchestra. It’s absolutely incredible.
Jets’N’Guns
Rebel Galaxy
Hardspace ShipbreakerHm, space ship games…
Kristofer maddigan composing an entire fucking big band soundtrack for cuphead and recording it live:
How has nobody mentioned Chris Christodoulou (Risk of Rain), Studio Pixel (Cave Story), Ben Prunty (FTL, Into the Breach), Christopher Larkin (Hollow Knight), or Andrew Prahlow (Outer Wilds) yet‽
I’m also quite partial to Craig Barnes (Streets of Rogue) and A Shell in the Pit (Full Metal Furies & Chicory).
One of my all time favorite OSTs for indie games would be Crosscode’s OST.
All the songs that Laura Shigihara has worked on are great too.
Christopher Larkin moment

For all you Life is Strange fans out there.
No mention of Firewatch so I’ll be the first to say it, it caught me off gaurd how good it was.
First answer to me is Chris Christodoulou, who did everything for Risk of Rain and Risk of Rain 2. The man knows how to let ambient vibes build to boss music
it’s unparalleled for me - just so immensely good.
This is basically how Ixion went. The game didn’t need a soundtrack to go this hard, but it absolutely put it over the top.
Celeste OST is one of my favorites, Lena raine absolutely cooked
