In celebration of becoming a finalist at the New Zealand Games Festival 2021 we are giving something special back to the community. 15BiT will be broadcasting an exclusive live stream on Steam with the lead developer "Dean Thomson" and musical composers "Aaron Mistermyr Silva" and "Tommy Embryonic Gilbert" as we discuss the process of composing the soundtrack for 15BiT's upcoming adventure "Road to Nowhere". 15BiT will be discussing how they create the interactive, dynamic music system that creates a unique soundtrack for the player depending on their actions and story beats on screen. The developers/musicians will go into detail about the technical elements of the backend of interactive systems in the game, alongside the music software and instruments that Mistermyr and Embryonic to create the aural atmosphere. In further discussions, we will talk about our musical influences and they have influenced the soundtrack, and how they have adapted traditionalist music composition to an interactive medium. This is also a perfect opportunity to ask us any questions regarding "Road to Nowhere", game development, or anything you like really regarding the project. Should be a fun evening/afternoon/morning. Regards, Dean Thomson 15BiT GAMES

Set over four years across the United States, Road To Nowhere tells the story of an introvert, and successful software developer, whose life is torn to shreds by scandal. Though aided by family, he walks away devastated and soon finds himself on the open road.
Confronted by his past and doubting his own sanity, Cohle spirals into depression as he moves from town to town – destination nowhere. Flooded with mismatched memories, he tries desperately to pull himself back from the brink.
Can he escape his troubled past?
Inspired by the tragic passing of Night In The Woods developer Alec Holowka, Road To Nowhere is an emotionally charged point-and-click tale produced by 15BiT games. Developed using Powerhoof's PowerQuest framework, this solemn adventure sports a unique aesthetic and original dialogue written and performed by David J. Ross.
