David Gaider on Stray Gods' unique mechanics.
Stray Gods: The Roleplaying Musical is truly the first game of its kind, combining branching story elements with interactive songs. The title is the debut from Summerfall Studios, which was co-founded by former Dragon Age head writer David Gaider, and is published by Humble Games, which has been involved with critically-acclaimed releases like Slay the Spire and SIGNALIS.
You arrive, and Grace is with Freddie and sees the various gods, gets to meet a few of them like Hestia, Dionysus, and a few things like that. We had a plan for additional songs to take place in a quest line with Dionysus, so that would have been cool. But ultimately, when we were looking at the scope, we were like, "Oh, this is quite a bit bigger than we had planned.
And musically, if you went from charming to kick ass, that it would blend into the new tune, and you wouldn't get a sense like, "Oh, suddenly we switched over to this more aggressive track." It wouldn't sound natural. That was all on Austin's plate, and he had a pretty good handle on how to do that. If you listen to him explain it, it's super complicated. But from the creative side, we had to figure out how to approach writing the songs.
I already was a person who really liked mythologies, so seeing a sort of speculative "where are they now" type things was perfect. You touched on this in terms of talking about working with Austin Wintory, but I'm curious about the biggest sort of challenges in terms of making this that you overcame in the process. Are there any specific scenes that were particularly hard to get right or anything like that?
