minimal_worlds #1 was a lot of fun to make for myself, and there was sense that there was more of an audience ready for Game Boy chiptune music. One day I decided I simply wanted to continue that project, and so minimal_worlds_ii is exactly that – a continuation.
By this stage, I had a lot more experience with using vibrato and pitch slides, which I now consider almost staples in the toolbox of effective chiptune. As explored before, the creative constraints, of being limited to 3 voices and 1 percussion channel, focuses your energy into making more interesting variations and articulations. It’s almost like a 4-piece band.
