NEW INTERVIEW ON END OF NATIONS FORUMS:
End Of Nations.com recently conducted an interview with Frank regarding his game history and involvement with the audio and soundtrack to the highly anticipated game End Of Nations.
Here is a snippet:
Where do you take inspiration for each title you are asked to compose?
For this game, I didn't want to draw inspiration from anything in particular. I wanted to start fresh and really do this from the perspective of the game and its lore and emphasize the massive epic spin we are doing with the genre. I composed the very first RTS in Dune 2, the groundbreaking C&C series, and now the first triple-A MMORTS. This games soundtrack will be the ultimate culmination of everything I enjoy bringing to a soundtrack from all my subconscious and embedded influences, crafted through my skill-set of today.
How many hours of music can we expect to see in End of Nations?
I think we're clocking in at just over 2 hours!
Does each faction have unique music like some of your previous tracks?
Each faction has its own theme, but the soundtrack is cohesive throughout otherwise.
