Teaching and composing VIDEO GAME MUSIC with Megan Carnes

Today I'm joined by Megan Carnes, a award-winning composer, Wwise and FMOD nerd, and music-centric game designer based in Chicago, USA. Her composing credits include _starweaver_, Helheim Hassle, and the video game documentary channel Noclip, plus a multitude of other films, games, podcasts, and other media. She worked as a music implementer on The Lamplighters League and was the game director for the music-based games inter-view and Which is Witch?
