For those still curious .... :)

Wow thanks man! That's insanely kind, and seriously means a lot. Also wtf, I work on this game for 4 years and today is the first time I've seen / contemplated the term "swordboarding." IT WAS RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME THE WHOLE TIME!?!?

Hahahaha

That's very very appreciated and generous of you to say!

Oh yes, I make sure every project seems me as no less a full team member as anyone else. I always advocate composers all do this. Attend all the meetings you can; play the build; sit with the concept art and design docs, etc etc etc. Anything less and your best hope is to be superficially aligned

That's so kind and wow what a flattering review! My lord!!

Haha yeah well local news is understandably far more preoccupied with the boys than me. No complaints!

Local AZ news did a piece on the boy's choir I recorded for SWORD OF THE SEA & it's the most charming thing ever. Seeing them see their names in the credit of a game ...🥰🥹

This is one of the wonderful byproducts of being able to do this for a living

The Wraith (the player character) leaps from a mossy rooftop as ocean fauna glide by below.

A zoomed-out view of a vast chamber in which schools of tropical fish drift by and broad shafts of sun stream in through holes in the ceiling.

The Wraith looks into the camera, at rest in a patch of shade in a canyon. Two waterfalls appear behind her.

Crouched, the Wraith rides an orca with dozens of white fish on all sides.

Don't sleep on #SwordOfTheSea, the latest beautiful adventure from Giant Squid Games!

The undulating landscapes and smooth snowboard-y traversal go together like PB & J, and @awintory.bsky.social delivers as always with a rich, enthralling score. 🐬

:D
