Composer Austin Wintory and Director/Actor Troy Baker unpack the incredibly elaborate five-year process of writing, producing, and directing the interactive musical roleplaying game Stray Gods. This talk details the process of discovering the mechanics for interactive songs, the long road to writing and testing the songs, and the equally long road in casting, directing, and producing the songs.
