FFO: Haiku, the Robot, Rayman Forever, Child of Light and Napple Tale: Arsia in Daydream Favourite Track: Quetzalcoatl   Filippo Beck Peccoz took the time to answer a few questions we had about his work. Here's what he had to say! Q1: Your latest game ITORAH released last month and seems to draw inspiration from several action / puzzle platformers of the past.

A1: Growing up, I always loved “narrative action platformers”, so to speak, where the game leaves so time for a special music moment to happen. If I go way,...

Paradise Killer B-Side. Here is what they had to say! Q1: You recently released "About That... Paradise Killer B-Sides". Can you tell us a bit about what went into making this album? A1: Based on the success of the original Paradise Killer soundtrack and the game itself, a B-Sides album was something I'd wanted to do for a while.
