Episode 13 – The Messenger with Composer Rainbowdragoneyes
Freshman development house Sabotage Studio released The Messenger to an excited audience in late August 2018, and the response from players was almost unanimously positive. The Ninja Gaiden-esque gameplay was tight and fun, and the soundtrack was HUGE and featured both NES and Genesis style renditions of nearly every amazing track. On today’s VGMbassy, Ed invites composer Rainbowdragoneyes, aka Eric Brown, to have a chat about the game’s music and development. Since he was brought on-board while the game was in it’s infancy, Eric has a lot of insight about the game’s production as well as commentary on his own soundtrack. Enjoy this in-depth look at what some people are calling indie game of the year!
Check out all of Eric’s bands and side projects at the following links:
Rainbowdragoneyes – Eric’s solo “Extreme Chiptune Dance Metal” project
