every day, I'm discovering a bigger and bigger fan base for the genre. It's only been a few months, but I'm already obsessed with it...I remember one of the first songs I heard that conquered me was Abandoned Streets by Jordan F. I was hooked!
I've been making some retarded, amateur chip tunes, for fun, experimenting, but I'm getting an itch to start making a more serious type of music like this. I'll take all tips I can have

Retro 80s music is awesome! Your song is awesome too, I love the bassline and drums. Plus the whole thing makes me feel nostalgic in all the right ways.
I could feel some Terminator 1 in there too, with that lead string sound at times (also a good thing since that's my favourite soundtrack/theme ever).
If you want some cool things to get started you might want to consider Komplete by Native Instruments. It has some cool toys like FM8 and Massive which I've found really useful for this style of song.
Get in touch if you want any info! :D

Awesome thanks for the info, I will definitely look into it! It's a fun style of music to make, I'm used to making metal music all the time haha.
