Hi, everyone! Today I’m here to share a small (but interesting) interview I did with Darren Korb, via e-mail, about his music in Bastion and his composition process. For those who doesn’t know, Darren is the audio director for Supergiant Games, the studio behind games like Bastion and Transistor. I haven’t played Transistor yet, but Bastion has one of…
Hey, everybody! How have you all been? Some days ago I was at the Full Indie Meetup, here in Vancouver, and I met a nice guy (that I can’t recall his name, sorry), young game developer, and we started talking about sound in games – after he asked me what was my role in the game…
Hey! So, last week Winifred Phillips wrote a great article on comedic sound design and game music. It’s a pretty interesting article, where she talks a lot about what makes a SFX fell comedic and funny. Reading the article you can understand a lot about it, and how it turns out to be all about…

So, we’re back! After some days offline, because of the holidays, of course, I’m here to share a coll article by Kotaku: The Best Video Game Music Of 2015. It’s a list (and although I hate lists, sometimes they are necessary) of the best video game music of 2015, made by Kotaku staff. I don’t know if…
