The New Team Members
We’ve been working on NEO TITAN since 2022. Of course, phops and I are working together once again, but we thought now would be a great opportunity to introduce you all to the other core members of the team.
Meet Jake [Submerged Tapes]…
I met Jake through twitter during Archvale’s development, and he came aboard near the end to help polish up all of the sound. He had a fairly brief window to work on the game, but his contributions completely revamped Archvale’s soundscape.
For NEO TITAN, we brought Jake on board right from the start of the project. I always aim to make everything feel impactful and satisfying in the games I make, and I think sound plays an incredibly important part of that. Having Jake on from the start has meant we’ve had loads of time to dial in everything and get it feeling just right.
This time around, Jake has also covered the music. Jake hails from the south west of the UK (same as me) where there is a huge drum and bass scene, so the soundtrack is packed with D&B influence. The track from the trailer has been a particular point of excitement, so we’ve uploaded it (and a series of OST tracks) to various platforms for you to check out!
We’ve uploaded a few extra tracks from the soundtrack early for you all to take a listen to. You can listen to it on both Spotify and YouTube Music.
Meet Matthew Griffin…
In early 2023, we shared a post on Twitter showing off our new game and asking if any publishers would be interested in chatting with us about it. Matt sent me a DM, and asked to play a demo.
We talked with a bunch of publishers, but Matt’s passion for the game and reputation in the world of metroidvanias meant we had no doubts about bringing him on board.
Matt is always on the lookout of opportunities for NEO TITAN, and helps us strategize the game’s marketing. Watching him play through the game is always a great time, and he always has great insights and suggestions. He also plays the important role of a difficulty benchmark - I have a tendency to make things a little too hard.
We’ll be sharing more teasers over the coming weeks and months, so stay tuned!
