On this episode, Larry & Clinton talk with Tom-Ivar Arntzen, the one-man virtuoso behind Tinimations, and creator of Klang & Klang 2. The Klang series is an innovative take on the rhythm game genre, combining the timed button combinations of traditional rhythm games with hack & slash combat. In this conversation, they talk about how Norway's culture led to Tom's obsession with video games, his award-winning game development during his upper secondary (high) school years, some of the struggles of working with a publisher, and how music helped him find his ideas. This discussion also includes: StepMania, God of War, Bayonetta, Devil May Cry, Dance Dance Revolution, & Guitar Hero. ----------------------------- Find Klang on Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/412660/Klang/ Find Klang 2 on Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1111600/Klang_2/ Visit Tom's website: https://tinimations.net/ Follow Tom on twitter: https://twitter.com/Tinimations Learn more about your ad choices.
