Um português que trabalha no mundos dos videojogos

Encontrei esta entrevista de mais um português que tem desenvolvido o seu trabalho também na área dos videojogos, neste caso mais especificamente na construção de musicas.

“Fans of certain beloved Sega franchises should be very familiar with this composer’s name by now. Tee Lopes started out on the VGM scene releasing remixed and reimagined versions of some of gaming’s most beloved music, with a special focus on one blue hedgehog in particular, and his compositions and arrangements now sit alongside those of series legends such as Masato Nakamura, Jun Senoue and Yuzo Koshiro in the Sonic canon.
His talent and passion garnered the attention of the right people over the last decade, and in recent years he’s supplied the soundtrack for the brilliant Sonic Mania (a game that’s now four-years-old!) as well as the Mr. X Nightmare DLC for Streets of Rage 4, and his work will also be heard in the upcoming Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge and Metal Slug Tactics.

I can’t say my tastes have changed (and I’ve put that to the test), but they’ve certainly evolved and expanded. A lot of the stuff I find interesting nowadays probably would’ve sounded too odd to me some years ago.
