Chiptunes = WIN: Volume 5 Compilation Album Now Released

July 21, 2016 | Brenna Wilkes | 1 Comment Share this

Rejoice lovers of all things chiptune! The good people over at Chiptunes = WIN have released their 5th album in the main series of chiptune releases!

After what seems like an eternity of consideration, the roster for ‘Chiptunes = WIN: Volume 5‘ is complete. All judges have locked in their votes and comments and I’ve used the subsequent collective data to form the final roster. Per the usual, this was not an easy process. To be frank, it never is. And with the extraordinarily high quality of the top submissions this time, it was even tougher. Honestly, I’m just as excited for the inevitable expansion release as I am for Volume 5!

All the same, one thing at a time. ಠ‿↼ – Brandon “President Hoodie” Hood

The album features a slew of returning artists from former WIN albums such as Auxcide, Chipzel, Petriform and more, and also introduces a whole new roster of fresh artists including PROTOFLIGHT and chip-favorite artist Shirobon.

That not enough? Alrighty then. How about we include a bundle of awesome bonuses?? The more folk give in total, the more delightful bonuses that’ll unlock for all donors! Not to mention three really cool prizes for the top three donors. Yup. All that’s in this beautiful bundle!

On top of that, how about the chance to donate a percentage of your monies to everyone’s favorite fest that’s not a con, MAGFest?? Okay then. We’ll do that too! –Brandon L Hood aka “President Hoodie”
