In this episode of Savepoint Stories, I’m joined by award-winning video game composer and technical music designer Chase Bethea for a deep dive into what makes game music unforgettable — and how it can react to the way we play.Chase shares the origin of his love for game soundtracks (including a classic “wait… there’s a whole soundtrack on this disc?!” moment), how he forged his path without traditional mentorship, and why he approaches every project as a player first, composer second. We also get into the craft behind dynamic music systems — where instrumentation, intensity, and themes shift based on your actions, your progress, and even how well you’re doing in a fight.If you’ve ever felt a game’s music guiding your emotions without you realizing it, this conversation is for you.Use code SAVEPOINT20 at HereComesTheNerd Shop for 20% off your first purchase.
