Interview with Darren Korb

Two of the co-editors for this special issue, Chris Hill and Silvia Mantilla-Wright, sat down with Hades’s composer Darren Korb to explore questions around his compositional process. In this interview, they discuss the musical and sonic portrayal of characters and biomes in the game, what compositional choices sustain interest and engagement across multiple runs, the influence of previous Supergiant Games on the development of Hades, and the role vocal performance plays in signaling the setting of the game.
