Coming off of some musical work for the last Penny Arcade RPG, I told Adam that I was dying to do an entire score for an RPG. I met Adam Rippon at PAX East - we were both panelists at the event. How did you come to be the composer for Dragon Fantasy Book II? This included drilling a hole into a miniature keyboard that he could in his carry-on luggage so that he could write during a flight.Ĭurious about how one manages to juggle a big-name gaming site with composing and remixing videogame music, I decided to reach out to the traveling composer/editor to find out a little more about his work. Since his busy schedule involves constantly traveling all around the world, he needed to get a little inventive with managing his time composing the soundtrack. The digital and physical versions of the official soundtrack were released via Scarlet Moon Records in early January. His biggest breakout to original game scoring came last year with the release of Dragon Fantasy Book II, a 2013 indie RPG developed by Muteki Corporation for PlayStation 3 and Vita that serves as a throwback to classic 90s JRPGs. North is no stranger to music, having done a fair assortment of arrangements for OverClocked ReMix over the years.
He is known as the self-titled Corgi King on the Internet and officially as the Editor-in-Chief of Destructoid, but you can now add another title to Dale North’s resume: videogame music composer.
