It was very much a hobbyist business back in the 80s. The people who were playing games were also trying to make games in their bedrooms.” “On the technology side, as far as development goes, the rule-based systems in graphic physics and lighting allowed developers flexibility to create open worlds and for worlds to be generated around the gamer rather than everything being on rails.” “The graphics got people's attention and then the technology allowed the game play to get to a depth that had never been there before.” “We talked to them about their music listening habits and gaming habits and one of the things that was very clear - and why I was excited about the rule-based engine - was gamers were getting tired of the looping music. Even though there's a lot of clever stuff done in games today, they were turning everything off and listening to Apple or Spotify in the background.” - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - About Jesper Nordin Jesper Nordin is a Swedish composer with international acclaim.
