Hi! Haven't logged on to Newgrounds in a while haha. I'm moving forward with an alias change today, to Onefin. This is part of my effort to move my online persona in a new direction as I start doing professional work.

Thanks for all the support over the years - I will continue making new music under this alias which you'll be able to find primarily on my Bandcamp page.

Hi y'all, I haven't been on Newgrounds in a while now. Since I have a non-negligible following on this website, I figured it would be wise to compose an update for the public record. A quick TL;DR of this update:


  • For any music I write on or after 2021, you should always ask before using it for a project. You should no longer assume that you can by default.
  • I plan to distribute some of my music to platforms such as Spotify sometime in the future.
  • I will be leaving Newgrounds for an indefinite time.




**My music usage policy is getting an update.** For anything I have published before January 1st, 2021, my older usage policy applies. As a reminder, this is that you can use my music for your videos or projects, with credit given, provided that the songs you select are:


  • Completely original to me. No collaborations, and no remixes.
  • Not part of a soundtrack.


And credit for these songs still must contain the name of the song, the author (that's me), and a link to where you got it from.


For anything I publish on or after January 1st, 2021, this no longer applies, and you should always ask me before using anything. Currently, I haven't published anything during 2021 that would otherwise be useable under the old policy, so while this is not a concern to me now, it may come up later, unless I change my mind.


**I currently plan to attempt distribution of my music when I next publish music.** I receive a lot of requests to upload my songs to Spotify and other platforms, mainly through comments on my YouTube uploads. In the past I have rejected this idea on the grounds that it would be too much of a hassle for a couple of reasons. However, for some of my pieces, I've been reconsidering this idea.


I want to write some new music before I do this, though, so you may need to wait. I figured it would be good to at least let you all know that this might be coming.


**I will likely not be active on Newgrounds in the future.** I'm changing as a creator and I have found that the Newgrounds platform no longer meets my needs. This has been an in-progress move since the beginning of 2021 so I want to follow through with it by publicly stating my intent. I want to emphasize that this decision does not come from a distaste for the site - in fact, I hold a lot of gratitude for the community on NG for fostering my creative growth in the past - but rather from a personal perspective of what direction I wish to take the 1f1n1ty project.


Right now, I'm moving my main music publication platform to Bandcamp, so if I write anything new, you can expect to see uploads on there. Additionally, I will continue posting about my future projects on Twitter, so you will be in the know if anything else happens. If you need to message me in private, my Discord is open for you to reach out.

Gem Setter is a 2D block sliding puzzle game with a level editor. Think through over 50 built-in levels, then build your own creations and share them with the world!


Working on this has been a really cool experience and I'm really excited to be putting my little project into the world! Please try it out! If you make something cool I'd love to see it :O

Two weeks ago I and a couple of friends developed and published a game called Hellfiler for the GMTK Jam 2020. This jam had 5477 entries.

Today I was notified that we are in the TOP 20. As seen in this video.


This is amazing and stunning and mind-boggling and bananas and and and AAAAAAAAAA



If I find some time, I will see what I can do to safely put this game on Newgrounds. For now you'll have to jump over to itch.io to play it.

Hi! A lot of people have been asking me if they can use my music for their stuff. This FAQ contains the answers that I often give for these.


Can I use your music in a YouTube video?


Yes, with credit. The video can be monetized as long as it's not just a reupload of the song. Please read the details below about what good credit looks like.


Can I upload a YouTube video of a Geometry Dash level containing your song?


You can. If you include a shot at the beginning or the end of the video of the level screen with the song name displayed in-game, I will count that as credit. Otherwise, give credit in the description. Note that my policy here is relatively lenient; if you're going to upload a video of a Geometry Dash level containing someone else's song, you should ask that artist about how they want attribution to be given!


Can I use your music in a project outside of YouTube, such as a video game?


Without YouTube's copyright net, this gets a bit more strict. Most of my original songs are usable as long as you comply with the terms of the CC BY-SA license, but there are some exceptions:


  • Don't use my remixes, unless you have permission from the original author(s) to use it under the same CC BY-SA license. Chances are you're thinking of using one of my Mystery Dungeon remixes. Good luck contacting NoisyCroak about that :)
  • Don't use something I collaborated on, unless you have express permission from the collaborator(s) to use it under the same CC BY-SA license.
  • Don't use anything I've written that is part of a soundtrack.


How should I give you credit?


For most of my songs it suffices to include the name of the song, my screen name, and a link to where you got the song, like this:


Music is Aeolia by 1f1n1ty.

Acquired from https://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/772055


If you're using one of my remixes, however, you'll want to give some credit to the authors of the original song as well. Here are a couple of examples:


Music is Voice In The Dreams from Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Gates to Infinity.

Original by Keisuke Ito and Yasuhiro Kawagoe. Remix by 1f1n1ty.

Acquired from https://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/694359


Music is Dark Matter Suite by 1f1n1ty and LOrbSheddy.

Originally composed by Keisuke Ito, Yasuhiro Kawagoe, and Noriko Murakami for Pokemon Super Mystery Dungeon.

Acquired from https://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/693041


Will you upload your music to Spotify or Apple Music?


That's not a question about music usage, but no.




Hope this clears things up. If you have more questions about my music, feel free to ask! I'm here :)

Got a friend? I met up with Caleb Biddulph again this summer and we made a super wacky PVP game for the Game Maker's Toolkit Jam 2019:
