Special Guest - Dillan Schmitz (King Aurorus)

This week on The Razzle Dazzle Show, we’re joined by Dillan Schmitz (King Aurorus) — award-winning composer and sound designer behind the upcoming indie action title SHADE Protocol. A Berklee College of Music graduate and GDC speaker, Dillan has spent years crafting audio that doesn’t just support a story… it becomes part of it. In this episode, we dive into Dillan’s journey into composition, the soundtracks that shaped him growing up, and how music helps build the atmosphere, identity, and emotion of a game. We also talk about his work on SHADE Protocol, exploring how the soundtrack helps bring Zura’s world to life and how game music changes when it has to respond to the player. And this episode is just the beginning. All month long on The Razzle Dazzle Show, we’re celebrating one year since the world announcement of SHADE Protocol by featuring members of the development team and diving into the creative process behind the game. If you want to support the project: Make sure to follow the game on Kickstarter and wishlist SHADE Protocol on Steam to help the team continue bringing this world to life.

BREAKING Protocol: The Chakram

Welcome to another edition of BREAKING Protocol from The Razzle Dazzle Show — our ongoing mini-series where we break down key updates and design questions straight from the development of SHADE Protocol. These episodes are built around the game’s community engagement series, Devs Ask You, or DAUs — where Kendall and the team not only show what’s changing, but invite fans to shape the journey with them. Today’s episode focuses on one of the most experimental and unpredictable Instruments in the game: the Chakram. This weapon has gone through multiple iterations already, and it’s clear the team loves the fantasy behind it — but it’s also presenting some of the most complicated design challenges in the entire combat system. ⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/LittleLegendaryGames?utm_source=linktree_profile_share⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ Host: Jared Gonzalez.

BREAKING Protocol: The Lands of Tema Pt.2

Welcome to another episode of BREAKING Protocol, our ongoing mini-series where we break down key updates and design questions straight from the development of SHADE Protocol. Tema. A frozen graveyard of civilizations long extinguished. Snow-shrouded battlefields where silent colossi rust beneath layers of ice. A place where even hope cracks like glass under the weight of memory. In this episode, we’re breaking down what makes Tema more than just a “snow level” — but a biome built on history, decay, melancholy, and the consequences of technology. Let’s dig into the design, the mood, the mechanical intent, and what awaits players who dare tread across the ice. https://linktr.ee/LittleLegendaryGames?utm_source=linktree_profile_share⁠⁠⁠⁠ Host: Jared Gonzalez.
