In this interview, we sit down with Zak Knight, an audio expert and professional musician and we dig DEEP into the world of video game music and sound design!
With a musical background spanning over 25 years, Zak's expertise isn't just about notes and chords; it's about capturing the essence of creativity and emotion in every piece of music he works on.
As a professional musician, producer, and educator, Zak brings a wealth of knowledge to the table, drawing from 15 years of hands-on experience in recording studios, writing, producing, and engineering music.
But what really sets Zak apart is his recent move into indie game development, spearheading his upcoming indie game project, Bird Knight.
Join us as Zak shares his insights on how music can shape the very core of your game, whether you're a solo developer or part of a team.
From DIY composition tips to navigating the landscape of hiring composers, Zak answers all of our game dev music questions and gives a ton of practical advice and resources to help you get started with your own indie game audio journey.
