I'm working with indie developer Steven McCarthy on a shmup called Ghost Police. It's a non-shooting shooter that draws on the Game Boy and NES for visual inspirations, and while the game will be finished and released as planned in spring 2016 (you can read the development thread here: http://shmups.system11.org/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=54554), it's currently on Kickstarter to try to replace its licensed music with an original NES/Famicom-era score by Shovel Knight composer Jake "virt" Kaufman. You can hear the track Jake wrote for the trailer using the N163 sound chip here:

Jake's looking forward to writing a killer shmup soundtrack. He has experience writing for Otomedius and Dodonpachi, and I wanted to share details about the project outside of the development section of the forum!
Hope everyone who's interested can help spread the word as the campaign enters its final week. Thanks in advance!
