Video game scores add emotional depth to the player's journey and can often make or break the experience #SOTN2 #gamemusic #gameaudio #soundtrack #music #newmusic #wwise #indiedev #gamedev #gamedevelopment #videogame

A very important part of the #SpiritoftheNorth2 score is its interactivity. Whether it’s a change in time of day, emotional state, or biome, the soundtrack subtly shifts to reflect what’s happening. #SOTN2Music #gameaudio #gamedev #indiedev #music #gamemusic #gamescoring #soundtrack #videogames

Music is more important for a sense of completion than you might think. In Spirit of the North 2 puzzle-solving and progression moments are marked by music — short stingers or subtle thematic returns. #gameaudio #interactiveaudio #composer #gamemusic #indiedev #adaptiveaudio #gamedev
