FFO: The Unfinished Swan, GRIS, Cloud and AER Memories of OldFavourite Track: Threshold Austin was kind enough to answer a few questions we had about his latest release Traveler - A Journey Symphony, and the rest of his wildly impressive VGM resume. Here's what he had to say! Q1: 2019's Erica is an ambitious return to FMV games of the 5th generation console era consisting entirely of live-action cutscenes. Did scoring the project feel closer to working on a film score or a video game?A1: This was definitely fully the combo of both. All the micro-sensitivity to picture that comes with film scoring but in...

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.
