It's rare that a sequel offers the opportunity to pick and choose the elements of the predecessor to retain, while mostly completely blank-slating the approach. But such was my collaboration with Andy Schatz / Pocketwatch Games for MONACO 2: fragments of the Vaudevillian upright piano of the original snake throughout, but otherwise this is a totally different beast.
Andy's challenge for me: a series of 'busker' street band pieces which would read as in-world diegetic songs, and then get transformed into the stealthy / chaotic score music. The fusion of thoroughly-produced synths and beats in tandem with the rough, raw busker vibe was an absolute delight to explore!
