For the month of December we've moved to working on getting full playthroughs of the game working, and have made a bunch of progress on big picture items. And now right before Christmas our musicians have gotten all inspired. Songsmith Andre Maguire (you heard his music over our trailer) turned in a bunch of new tracks that will plug into our in-game music system. Also, our voice actors John & Ellen have been working on classic arrangements of some spirituals that someday you can hear echoing through Freedom Town.
If you want to hear a different take on the game, you might want to check out my recent appearance on the DevJam podcast. I had a fabulous time with hosts (and fellow game developers with background at Ubisoft Montreal) Aleissia Laidacker & Tyler Windecker. We got into one of the most wide ranging talks about the games I’ve worked on, going all the way back Odyssey, up through The Suffering, covering some State of Decay and finally The Church in the Darkness.

If you want to jump right to the parts about Church, skip to the 60 minute mark. But stay around to the end if you want to hear my top three favorite Twilight Zone episodes (at least at that particular moment). You see, I *was* wearing the shirt for that particular speed-round question.
