I want to share my experience with @MateriaColl They are preventing us from releasing the Physical Bundle of Underhero, as well as having prohibited me from releasing my soundtracks on Steam for years now. . . 1/14

@40pcmcnuggets @HereComesNiko @clear_eclair When 2D images are used in the way they're generally called billboards. It's used most often for small and distant objects to save processing power, but some games, like ours, use it to create a specific art style. Paper Mario is the most well known example. 😊

I hope that this can be resolved painlessly. If Materia Collective really doesn't have time for me, I would love to get the rights to my music back. Or to have this be resolved in any way. 14/14

If we do get a response it'll be something along the lines of: "We'll look at it next week!" Followed by months of radio silence. That brings us to where we are now. . . 6/14

I'd like to also state that this isn't anything new. These problems have been going on for years. Back when I started composing professionally, I decided to sign the handful of soundtracks I had with Materia. It seemed like the smart choice at the time. . . 8/14

Since I signed the soundtrack with Materia Collective (more on that later), we will need their approval for it to be released. So naturally, we approached them about this. . . 4/14

So far, Materia has made it impossible to release any soundtracks to Steam. Which I'd like to mention is the most important place for game soundtracks. Especially during launch. . . 9/14
