    Kieran Palmer is a multitalented artist with skills in environment design, concept art and 3D modelling to name just a few of his specialisms! It was great to chat with him and find out exactly how he works and to see the game creation process from an artists point of view!

    Jordan Hastings - Astrodreamer Studio

    Jordan is Studio Director at Astrodreamer Studio and is a man with a big bold ten year plan! We catch up with him here at an exciting point with a cool new open-world exploration sci-fi game in the latter part of development and with Astrodreamer Studio going from strength to strength. It was great to chat about how he has been working with Sam, the studio's composer and how their creative collaboration is developing as well as how the music is being integrated into the game engine. Amongst other things we also talked about creativity, the power of collaboration and how sometimes it's good to be a bit weird to stand out from the crowd (but not too weird!)

    Anton and Paul - Gazelle in a Winter Coat

    In this episode of the Audio/Dev Hangout I had the opportunity to chat to Anton, the lead programmer and Paul SFX, ambience and sound design who are working on Gazelle In a Winter Coat. Having the two disciplines together made for a really interesting discussion and I love the slightly surreal nature of their game as well! We talked about online and offline collaborative working, communication skills between disciplines as well as delving into how a programmer and a sound designer work together to create a cohesive whole. You can find out more about Paul and Anton and their studio A Box of Mushrooms using the links below: https://www.instagram.com/gazellegame/ https://gazelleinawintercoat.com/ https://twitter.com/BoxOfMushrooms

    Andy Mitchell - Corefun Studios

    Today my guest is Andy Mitchell from Corefun Studios. As well as being a game developer Andy is a composer and classical guitarist and he is currently creating Solar Echoes – a visual novel with RPG elements for which he is also composing all of the music. Andy has a really interesting angle on music in games as he is approaching it from both the game developer's side and also as the composer. Amongst other things we talked about how he has approached writing large quantities of music for his game, using or not using music theory, the importance of reference tracks and why playing the game you are working on is so important for a composer.

    Robin and Simon are creating a beautiful game and we started off by talking about their journey into game dev and how their complementary skill sets make them such a strong team. We moved on to chatting about how to get the most from the relationship with your composer....how feeling a real connection with their music, giving them freedom to create and trusting their vision makes for a great working in partnership.
