A few notes/things I left out of the video:

The song in the beginning is "Hello World", a single I just released (not part of any game soundtrack):    • Hello World   Most of the other songs haven't been released yet.

The "iconic song" made in ScreamTracker is UNREAL ][/Second Reality by Purple Motion. You can listen to it on YouTube or Spotify, but the original module file is available on The Mod Archive.

As for the software comparisons at 2:23, I'm speaking from experience, having used each of these programs for at least one game. However, I haven't used any of them as long as I've used OpenMPT, so, while I do think OpenMPT is the best software to use, I'm sure you could still make great retrostyle music in all of these.

The "Undertale Rule" segment isn't legal advice. Also, the extensive debate on Reddit (and hopefully not in the comments of this video) is mostly made up of nonlawyers. If you're REALLY worried about using Nintendo samples, just don't use them.

I didn't use any AI images in this video. Did you notice? What did you think? I might use them occasionally in sillier videos, but I'll try to keep them out of tutorials.
