Don’t Rout
The grand vision for this project is a rich tactical fantasy RTS game that captures the unique challenges facing an on-the-ground field commander and the push and pull between beating the enemy and wrangling your own unruly troops. More about the project.
Musically "Total War" and "Mount and Blade" are the main references. The most important element for me as a composer was to capture the morale of the soldiers fighting. There have to be tracks that accompany good, neutral, and bad morale for all of the different gameplay states.
"Core to our game is the notion that troops are thinking feeling creatures, whose mood you have to manage to be successful. Peter has done an excellent job crafting a soundtrack that makes that mood something the player can actually feel in their bones."
