Wish Interview

Stratics has conducted an interview with Michael Kimball, the sound designer for Mutable Realms' upcoming UMMORPG, Wish. A snippet:
Q: How did you draw your inspiration for the music in Wish? Did you view game footage of the towns and watch combat sequences?

A: My core source if inspiration has come from being an active part of the development process I was brought in at the beginning of development, and have really got to know Ganedan and all its inhabitants. I do watch in game footage, and combat sequences, but most of the time my inspiration arrives while I am actually playing the game.
I have worked side by side with the writers, world builders, artists, animators, and programmers, in doing so it has allowed me to get a real feel for each of the diverse cultures present in the world of (Wish). I often feel like an anthropologist trying to understand the music of some long lost culture.
