In this episode of the podcast, hosts Kiley Wilde and Pete Beckettare joined by Daniel Lindholm @dropkickmonk3y, a Swedish musical composer who has also done work on arrangements for various different games including Resident Evil 6, Yakuza Dead Souls, Lollipop Chainsaw and Street Fighter 5, starting on Season 2.

We discuss his body of work, including his early days, the big break into Triple A music composition, and how he managed to get the “gig” with the Street Fighter team. We delve deep into the various different character themes for Street Fighter 5 and influences for creating the music. We also asked how a composer comes up with ideas for characters, and what source material they had for each character.

We then speak about the recent articles that were doing the rounds, such as Connor Makar’s article from VG247 https://www.vg247.com/fei-long-street-fighter-not-coming-back as well as briefly touching on Nintendo Life’s article https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2022/05/bruce-lees-family-responds-to-suggestion-that-fei-long-wont-appear-in-future-street-fighters. We ask how it all started in his own words, and let him explain the timeline of events in his words.

For full disclosure, we did reach out to Connor Makar at VG247 for further comment but we heard nothing back before the publishing of this episode.

We hope you enjoy the episode.

Please follow Daniel on Twitter @dropkickmonk3y as well as his Youtube channel https://www.youtube.com/c/DanielLindholm2BStudio

In this episode of the podcast, hosts Kiley Wilde and Pete Beckett are joined by 2 previous guests, Jonathan Ober @jonathanober and friend of the show Miketendo @miketendo64 to help us discuss the all-digital future.

This comes off the back of the news story where it was stated that Assassin’s Creed Liberation HD was being removed from the Steam storefront on 1st September and, prior to the updated story, access was even being removed if you owned the game. The link to the story is here: https://www.videogameschronicle.com/news/assassins-creed-liberations-steam-page-says-it-will-soon-be-unplayable-even-for-owners/

We all discuss our standpoint on where we all are in terms of ownership of media, be it physical or digital, and discuss positives and pitfalls of both models.

We hope you enjoy the episode.
