8-bit Music Theory | How Austin Wintory's Interactive Musical Works @8bitMusicTheory | Uploaded August 2023 | Updated October 2024, 4 days ago.
I had the privilege of getting an inside look into Austin Wintory's work on the new interactive musical: Stray Gods: A Roleplaying Musical. The system to allow players to choose-their-adventure through a song is deceptively complex, with just an insane amount of work writing and planning required to make something that feels totally seamless on the players' end.
