Ben Ridge is a game score composer and sound designer. His work has been featured in three games that we will be discussing today: Cavity Busters (2022), Thymesia (2022), and Marauders (currently in Early Access). I have played Cavity Busters and Thymesia and they are both great games with stellar music. The developer of Cavity Busters, Space My Friend, has been featured on IGI twice.

In this episode we will discuss learning middleware, scoring a "soulsborne" game, making music and sound effects for slot machines, working with and for publisher Team 17, imposter syndrome, sound design, creating exploration vs. combat music, and a whole lot more.
