Hey Sergio.
Thank you - and yes, the Cocoon soundtrack on Steam includes lossless WAV files.

You welcome! They are coded from scratch in C++. I'm not using any third party code except JSON parsing and imgui/SDL for the standalone test app. I'm using Visual Studio as IDE.

Yes, and it actually got applause from the GDC audience! πŸ˜… I haven't published those videos anywhere yet though. Maybe I could put them on my YouTube channel
