Journey composer Austin Wintory lends a friendly hand to Beatbuddy
Beatbuddy is a platform action game in which all of the on-screen elements are musical – the arrangements of the enemies and other things that make up levels each sync to part of a song, Sound Shapes style. One of those levels will be set to new original music by Grammy-nominated Journey composer Austin Wintory.
“When Threaks first reached out to me, I couldn’t wrap my head around what the game would be like, but I couldn’t help but be incredibly intrigued,” said Wintory in the announcement of the collaboration. “Very quickly thereafter I came to realize what Beatbuddy could be and I had to be a part of it. It is a chance to explore a type of music I’d never touched before within a gameplay style I’d never worked with, and that combination is a dream.”
To understand how Beatbuddy works, check out the free demo on Steam. The game is set to be released on PC and Mac this year.Continue reading Journey composer Austin Wintory lends a friendly hand to BeatbuddyJourney composer Austin Wintory lends a friendly hand to Beatbuddy originally appeared on Joystiq on Fri, 08 Feb 2013 19:00:00 EST.
