Roddy most fondly remembers a title that fired his creative imagination: 1996’s claymation point-and-click adventure, The Neverhood, one of those games that still stands out for its aesthetic and production values having been born when the creator of Earthworm Jim, Doug TenNapel, pitched Steven Spielberg. Ultimately, he was most interested in the artistic cohesion of a game, rather than specifically the music. Young Amos was a “Sega Genesis kid” before becoming a “PlayStation kid”, enjoying gameplay and soundtrack classics Streets of Rage 2, Sonic the Hedgehog 2 and Final Fantasy VII, among others. Here’s our chat about his influences, STRAFE, the vinyl revival and where he’d like to see game music going in the future. Based in Portland, Oregon, he’s a relative newcomer to video game music composition with a handful of notable indie projects under his belt.
Such is the power of the fastest, bloodiest, deadliest, most adjective-abusing, action-packed first-person shooter of 1996**, developed by Pixel Titans and published by Devolver Digital on Steam (PC/Mac) and PS4 (**actually 2017).Īn important part of STRAFE’s impact is thanks to a furious, pumping score ( Spotify, BandCamp) by Amos Roddy, AKA ToyTree.
