Hey Space Commanders!
September is coming to an end and we thought it would be a great time for us to let everyone get to know us a little better! We are proud of so many things in Space Tales, but today, we want to focus on the game’s music!
We're incredibly excited to introduce you to someone who's been absolutely crucial to bringing the universe of Space Tales to life, our talented music producer Alex!
A wild Alex appears in his elements
From the moment we first heard his demo tracks, we knew we'd found someone special. But what really struck us was learning about his journey and passion for video game music. Like many of us, he grew up as a gamer who didn't just play games – he felt them through their soundtracks. Legends like Yuzo Koshiro (Streets of Rage), Michael Z. Land (Monkey Island), Bobby Prince (Doom), and Russel Shaw (Theme Hospital, Dungeon Keeper) shaped his understanding of how music could elevate gameplay into something unforgettable.
What makes his approach perfect for Space Tales is his unique background. His career took him through the world of Punk Rock and Metal, and he's brought that energy into his game compositions in the most exciting way. He has this knack for blending atmospheric, spacey soundscapes with driving guitars, rock bass lines, and punchy drum patterns – but always in service of what's happening on screen. As he puts it, finding that "intense match between sound and imagery" is his obsession, and honestly? We're so grateful it is, because the results have been phenomenal.

His inspiration list reads like a masterclass in composition – from Glenn Stafford's epic Warcraft scores to film composers like Yoko Kanno, Joe Hisaishi, and Hans Zimmer, all the way to the raw energy of Green Day, Metallica, and System of a Down. This eclectic mix means Space Tales doesn't sound like just another space RTS – it has its own voice, its own soul.
We feel incredibly fortunate to be working with such dedicated talent. The game is coming together wonderfully, and while we're trying to stay humble about it, we can't help but get excited every time we fire up the current build and listen to this sick music as we work on the game.
