I'm planning on creating a small visual novel game and I was wondering if it's okay if I use your music in it? I'll make sure to list the songs, your name and links in the credits! :D
The game is going to be free but I might setup a Patreon, and if I do I will become a Patreon of yours! :)
Absolutely welcome to use the music, thank you for asking! Feel free to send me a link when it goes online too. I love visual novel games and would be happy to give it a peek :)
You can pick the price. If you want to support the creator you can pay a bit of money. The 5$ is just a suggestion. If you don't want to pay just click the link "No thanks, just take me to the downloads".
You know, I re-read the OP and I totally misunderstood what they were saying the first time. Thank you for clarifying and sorry if I came off as a jerk haha 😅
Thank you! 🙏 Yes, the first five levels are to introduce the dynamics, the following two levels add complexity, and the two left are for the try-harders 🕹
I've used one of your tracks from Ludum Dare 28 in my submission for Trijam #154, thank you! I loved its retro style 🎶(https://adrkacz.itch.io/bouncen-roll)
Hi, just letting you know that I used one of your rocking ludum dare loops in my most recent game jam entry -> https://martymon.itch.io/dolphin-day-out Thanks for all the cool track loops.
I might be using one of your tracks in a video of a talk given at a small SFF convention last year (has to get approved first!).
I was wondering how you would prefer to be credited. Usually we would put the actual link to your Bandcamp into the YT description, but not in the video itself. The video end credits would have [Track] by Abstraction, but I can add a line for the weblink if you'd prefer it be included in the video as well. :)
Hi! I used some of your tracks (and credited you, of course) in my latest vidoegame. I especially like the wide variety of tracks you offer. Thank you for sharing your work! Here is my game: https://orangedaisy.itch.io/thesedays
Hey cool! Thanks for letting me know. The art style in the backgrounds is really nice, reminds me of that Doki Doki Literature Club game that came out a few years ago. Also, thanks for putting health warnings on the description. More people need to be aware of this stuff :)
Hello! Ludum Dare is a quarterly game jam (https://ldjam.com/). Instead of making a game, I spent that weekend making a bunch of music. I only participated in the event a few times, but it was fun when I did :)
Absolute bangers. I used this in a recent game jam. The variety in the tracks mean that I can rely on it during the last few hours of the jam without having to curate music from different sources. Ludum Dare Track 8 is my favorite.
Hello! I'm gonna be using your tracks in my Visual Novel. I had used these tracks before in my school project and now I'm going to try to make it into a full game. I don't know which specific tracks I'll use yet but I'll make sure to list them once I do.
I am currently making a game and plan to use your loops in it. I do have one question though. In the future, I want to try to monetize my game. But I can't use patreon. Can I just pay you some amount to use your loops in my game?
Yeah absolutely! Once you get to that point, get in touch and we can work something. We can find a fair number based on the size and scope of your game. :)
Used "Ludum Dare 32 - Track 2", "Ludum Dare 30 - Track 5", "VGMA Challenge - July 18th" and "VGMA Challenge - July 30th" in my latest short game, Dawn. Thanks again for the great music!
Heya! I'm glad you enjoyed the music :) I got stuck on the padlock code; maybe I'm missing something, but I could put in numbers, but not actually confirm/deny the code was correct.
Really? There should be a pretty obvious tick/cross each time you input a code. That's weird, I checked everything was working before I made the game page public. I'll be sure to check that out. Thanks!
Hmm... Tried playing the game on itch both logged in and logged out but I can't seem to replicate this error. Very strange. I'll try and look into fixing it but I'm not sure if you're allowed to update your game during the voting period of the jam I submitted this to :(.
(You know me from your Discord server though, so is it okay if I DM you to ask you some more questions about this? I don't want to clog up your comments section.)
I think itch is having problems at the moment because I can't download it or play it in the browser. Having said that, the description sounds great! Reminds me a bit of the game Switch 'N Shoot. Looking forward to giving it a try once itch gets their connection issues sorted. :)
Hello, I am aware that the previous comment here was also me, but I don't have any other method to contact you, so this also uses some of your music. Thanks again.
Hey! No worries. I'm glad you're enjoying the tracks in your projects. This is really cool. I like the mega man vibe where you get to use other bosses weapons. :D
Hi! Absolutely super music! I've been working on a little YouTube project about physics in a pixel art style and found that Ludum Dare 30 track 6 fitted in great for my first video about space weather! Thanks a ton!!
Thanks again for the music! I’m planning on using your music again for another jam game. I’ll edit this to include the link and attribution once the project is submitted.
Hiiiii! Been a Patron of yours for awhile now! Used some of this music as well as some of your Patreon tracks in this jam game we then expanded some and have credited you on the project page as well as within the game. (In-game credit is at the end and just says "Music by Abstraction - abstractionmusic.com") Please let me know if the accreditation needs any changes! Thanks for your excellent work!
Attribution looks great, thank you for doing that! :) Played a bit of the game, is a really cool idea to have a tower defense game where you place the barriers but not the towers themselves!
I love the visual style of the page! I'm gonna have to check out the game when I have the time. Thanks for using the music and letting me know about it :D
Hey ! really liked your tracks! Would use two of them in a short game made by a couple of friends. Ludum Dare 28 Track 3 VGMA Challenge July 13th Will send it when it is complete with proper attributions!
Hello! I used "Ludum Dare 32 - Track 5", "Ludum Dare 30 - Track 8", "Ludum Dare 28 - Track 7", "VGMA Challenge - July 1st" and "VGMA Challenge - July 11th" in my latest game jam game, ROSA. Hope the attribution's alright. Thank you for making such awesome music!
Thanks for making these available! I used Ludum Dare 38 Track Nine for my first Unity 2D game, Clicky Galaxy. I hope I've credited the assets appropriately and please do let me know otherwise :)
I used this pack for my game for Ludum Dare 48, it fits quite well imo. Only one song since it was a game jam xD, But it will stay once I expand it a bit more after the rating period.
You can check it here if you want
I used a bunch of the tracks, and set them to play in one big loop for my game, PERFECT! super great! will 100% be in the next update, I've been looking for good music for the game for soooo long! (happytoxicsludge.itch.io/blocks-keys) rn it's in a public beta sorta thing, not really finished
I used Ludum Dare 28 track 7 (I think) for a 3 day game jam where I did a rougelike and the song fit perfectly, I credited you in the description. Thanks for the music!
Used one of your tracks for a game jam, and credited properly- it's a NSFW game, though, so please let me know if you're uncomfortable with that, and I can replace the track!
Great music, not sure if it fits my game but I didn't have time to be picky. Will give you credits in the description! Game Jams are so pressured, bruh.
Thanks a lot, added your name and website link to the credit section of my android game for when it comes out! Love some of the tunes you've made, I used Ludum Dare 30 Track 4. It is a nice upbeat track!

You can use the music, thank you for asking. Gracias!
Gracias te paso el link del juego cuando lo termine 😃
Hi there! Thank you for your music! Here's the game I used some of your tracks in (with credit, of course): https://mentalbloxx.itch.io/the-final-exam
This is great! Had a fun time with it :D

I used some of your music in this little space game. Thanks for making it!
https://mrnr15.itch.io/orbital-space
Hey cool! I'll have to check it out :D
Awesome job! Keep it up :D
Thank you! Hope you get lots of good use out of 'em :D
why stand there free i have to pay 5$
Much appreciated! :D
You can pick the price. If you want to support the creator you can pay a bit of money. The 5$ is just a suggestion. If you don't want to pay just click the link "No thanks, just take me to the downloads".
But support is always appreciated I guess :D
You know, I re-read the OP and I totally misunderstood what they were saying the first time. Thank you for clarifying and sorry if I came off as a jerk haha 😅
Hahaha no problem
Loving these songs!
Thank you! Hope you find a good use for 'em some day :D
I used your loops once more! So delightful! Thank you 🙏 Here's the little puzzle game I made with your ambience: https://adrkacz.itch.io/space-birds
That's a cool concept! Gets tough really fast :D
Thank you! 🙏 Yes, the first five levels are to introduce the dynamics, the following two levels add complexity, and the two left are for the try-harders 🕹
Sounds like a good difficulty ramp then, gotta save something for the hardcore gamers :)
I've used one of your tracks from Ludum Dare 28 in my submission for Trijam #154, thank you! I loved its retro style 🎶 (https://adrkacz.itch.io/bouncen-roll)
Awesome! That sure is a chaotic game :) Congrats on getting something released and out there!
Hi, just letting you know that I used one of your rocking ludum dare loops in my most recent game jam entry -> https://martymon.itch.io/dolphin-day-out Thanks for all the cool track loops.
That's great! I love how chaotic the controls are for those extra crazy flips in the air :D

Heya! That's really cool :D You can do something like this wherever it feels most appropriate:
[Track] by Abstraction (abstractionMusic.com)
Feel free to send me a link when it gets out there, would love to check it out!

New to this. Are there a ludum dare 1 -27 somewhere? Also why are 29, 31, and 33-37 missing? What is ludum dare a monthly thing?

I'm glad you enjoy the music! Really love the pixel art style of that game you linked! Will try to find time to check it out :)

I got the red X one time, but after that I could input as many numbers as I wanted and nothing happened. Hope you get it sorted :)

(You know me from your Discord server though, so is it okay if I DM you to ask you some more questions about this? I don't want to clog up your comments section.)
I tried it again and it worked. I was right with the code all along! haha
Hey I just wanted to say I love these little loops you make! I have used some in some of my games! Here is the most recent one.
Hey I'm really happy to be a part of your process :)
Hi! Used one of these in my project! Thank you so much!
I think itch is having problems at the moment because I can't download it or play it in the browser. Having said that, the description sounds great! Reminds me a bit of the game Switch 'N Shoot. Looking forward to giving it a try once itch gets their connection issues sorted. :)
I bought and used some songs in my practice Idiot Sandwich. Thank your for your creation!
Love the art style :D I'm glad you're enjoying the songs, hope you get lots of good use out of 'em
Hello, I am aware that the previous comment here was also me, but I don't have any other method to contact you, so this also uses some of your music. Thanks again.
Hey! No worries. I'm glad you're enjoying the tracks in your projects. This is really cool. I like the mega man vibe where you get to use other bosses weapons. :D
Hi, I love your music! I used some of your tracks in some of my projects, here and here. Thank you for sharing them for free.
These are both really cool! The Lightning Grappling Hook one reminds me a bit of Ghost Grab 3000. https://crowbarska.itch.io/ghost-grab-3000
Thanks for sharing! :D
Ah, only if I could release a game on the Switch. Thanks again for the free songs!
You'll get there some day! :D
Hi! Absolutely super music! I've been working on a little YouTube project about physics in a pixel art style and found that Ludum Dare 30 track 6 fitted in great for my first video about space weather! Thanks a ton!!
I made sure to attribute you in the video description. If you're interested, here's the link to the video: Pixel Physics: What is Space Weather?
Thanks again!
This is great! Love the explanation and breakdown :D
Fantastic to hear, thanks for checking it out!! :)
Hi! I'm planning on adding some of your music to my former jam game once the submission unlocks. This is what the attribution will look like:
Thanks for the amazing music!
The attribution looks great, thanks for letting me know! Dig the art style of this, love pixel art :)
Thanks again for the music! I’m planning on using your music again for another jam game. I’ll edit this to include the link and attribution once the project is submitted.
Here’s a link to the game
Awesome, good luck with the jam :)

Hey there! I recently updated a short 2D game, that a friend and I created, with your music. We used these two pieces of music :D
Check it out here -> The Slime's Return
Thank you very much for the music! :D
I love the visual style of the page! I'm gonna have to check out the game when I have the time. Thanks for using the music and letting me know about it :D

Thanks for making these available! I used Ludum Dare 38 Track Nine for my first Unity 2D game, Clicky Galaxy. I hope I've credited the assets appropriately and please do let me know otherwise :)
The attribution is great. I love the idea of being able to move pieces anywhere as long as there's a clear path for them to move!
I used this pack for my game for Ludum Dare 48, it fits quite well imo. Only one song since it was a game jam xD, But it will stay once I expand it a bit more after the rating period. You can check it here if you want

Used one of your tracks for a game jam, and credited properly- it's a NSFW game, though, so please let me know if you're uncomfortable with that, and I can replace the track!
As long as it isn't hate speech or something, I don't mind NSFW stuff. Thanks for asking though! :)
Great music, not sure if it fits my game but I didn't have time to be picky. Will give you credits in the description! Game Jams are so pressured, bruh.
I hear ya! Just finished a game jam yesterday. I'm glad the music (mostly) works for your project. :)
Thanks a lot, added your name and website link to the credit section of my android game for when it comes out! Love some of the tunes you've made, I used Ludum Dare 30 Track 4. It is a nice upbeat track!
I'm so happy to hear it! Feel free to shoot me a link to your game when it comes out, would love to check it out :D
Using Track 1 on Ludum Dare 38 for a small "interactive learning media" school project and it fits nicely. Thanks!
I'm happy to hear that! Glad you found some music that works :)
This is incredible! Thank you.
You're welcome! Thanks for checking it out :D Hope you get some good use out of it
just joined your patreon!
Thanks so much! There is TONS of music there; hope you find more things you like!
Loved the music ,thank you for providing this music. I used track 8 in Ludum Dare 28 for the boss fight in my game https://jamielin.itch.io/the-merc
This game looks great! Interesting idea of having to buy ammo and stuff :D
