A musical deep dive into the world of writing music for indie games! This video was created for 2022's Save and Sound festival: https://www.saveandsound.io/
Writing music for video games can be a really long process, and as an indie dev with very little time on my hands, I've picked up a few tricks for speeding up the process. This video is a little behind the scenes look into how I've approach writing music for the soundtrack of my upcoming indie game Beyond the Long Night.
Beyond the Long Night is an twin-sick action roguelike where you outrun a mysterious cosmic force as you explore a charming underground world. Befriend loveable characters, fend off enemies with chaotic abilities, and uncover the secrets of this subterranean kingdom caught in a time loop.
