[casual_games] Viking Quest (was introduction)

[Jeff Murray]

Hey Lennard,

With a name like Rusty Axe Games, it makes sense that Viking Quest would be your thing ;)

I wish we had got the opportunity to go hang out with the guys from the show, but sadly it was a case of them sending the assets. That little viral video was a huge boost to the number of visits and having such a major star talking about the game in such a humorous way was a complete blast for everyone involved.

Aside from the awesome Golden Axe style game play, my favorite part of that project was actually the audio. We are lucky to have who I consider to be one of the best musicians in the industry, Mike White, to put together original music in-house. He's one of those incredibly talented people who can just nail the vibe and somehow manage to produce music from any genre or style 'on demand'. I've always loved working with Mike as I can go off on surreal, crazy esoteric rants about underlying and ambient themes and he will know exactly how to translate them into real audio experiences. 

The Viking Quest soundtrack really was something quite special - very epic, very Nordic and very metal!

Anyways, it was a really cool project and one of my personal favorite Fuel pieces, so if there's anything else you'd like to know feel free to email me and I'll do my best.

Thanks,
Jeff.
