My Contribution

Re:Active was such a fun project to work on. I picked this project in particular knowing I would be writing the music, and decided to take this as an opportunity to connect with the developers more, as well as write music that is not what I usually write- something more synth-based and less orchestral. I wanted to explore the deeper meaning of this game, being alone, exploration, and how that can change even a robot.

One major take away from this project is that I learned that many developers have their own special way of working through things, and that I need to be very clear on what I want from the developers- feedback, references, or anything similar- if I want an easier time writing cues for them. This arose when I sent my first draft in and I got mixed responses, that is until one developer mentioned Celeste, and the lightbulb switched on for me.
