Even if we did, we think it wouldn’t be the right fit for this title. However, we don’t have a AAA budget for a highly-decorated composer and full-sized orchestra to produce several hours of in-game music. Expectations for a top-notch sci-fi action RPG score are very high, especially when the visual fidelity is so good. From Star Wars, Star Trek, and Battlestar Galactica to Halo, Destiny, and Fallout-the list of fantastic sci-fi music is endless. Now, when making an open-world space action RPG, many epic soundtracks from iconic space movies and sci-fi shooters immediately come to mind as inspiration. Even if excellent game audio might elevate the game to higher levels for many players just subconsciously, playing your favorite games, from 8-bit classic to the latest AAA blockbuster, without music can make you realize how much of the total experience is missing. We probably all agree great music and fitting SFX has always been super important in video games. It’s been a ton of work and it’s far from being finished, but as long as coffee doesn’t run out, all is good, Gero assures us. Oh, he also does layout edits for the cinematics and in-game cutscenes. If that wasn’t enough, Gero is also a veteran audio programmer, making all that in-game audio magic happen at the right time and place. For over two years, he’s been composing and tweaking well over 60 tracks, mixing a plethora of iconic SFX for primary and secondary weapons, activated ship devices and consumables, distinctive audio clues about environmental events, UI actions, as well as directing and editing countless hours of voice acting. Meet our one-man-army sound designer & director Gero! He has been “lost in music, caught in a trap, no turning back” Sister Sledge-style in his sound-proved studio at our office without going nuts all by himself.

Now, before you frantically click on the link to the 100+ entry changelog to find out what else is new in our first major content update, let’s talk about what’s under the hood of Added/Improved various music tracks, plus some general thoughts about music in video games and EVERSPACE 2 in particular.ĭisclaimer: Having a great soundtrack alongside everything else we’re making for EVERSPACE 2 is hugely important to us. Would be dope if we even added special gear and certain ship class capabilities in the future that would come in handy for dubious tasks further down the line, wouldn’t it? Still too early to say how exactly it works, but illegal smuggling jobs might have an impact on your trading reputation later in the game. We’d love to hear your feedback about these kinds of missions-we plan to add more smuggling activities in the future for all those space truckers who enjoy making extra credits on the side. To stabilize hazardous goods between Supralight jumps, quick pit stops will cool things down.

Steer clear of the firefight while hauling an explosive payload! Volatile cargo is dangerous, but it pays top rates.
