LISTEN
Award-winning composer Winifred Phillips has more than 13 years of experience in the game industry and a long list of video game credits that include titles from five of the biggest franchises in gaming: Assassin’s Creed, LittleBigPlanet, Total War, God of War, and The Sims. In addition, she has written scores for Homefront: The Revolution, the virtual reality game Dragon Front, The Da Vinci Code, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Speed Racer, Shrek the Third, and Spore Hero. One of her recent game projects has been for the VR game SCRAPER: FIRST STRIKE.
Scraper: First Strike is the first episode of a planned five-part VR sci-tech shooter with RPG and exploration elements. It will take the player on a journey through a new IP with fully developed characters, story arcs, and a world filled with unique and exciting environments. In SCRAPER: First Strike, the player takes on the role of Casey Maxwell, a Modified Hover Pod pilot, and a member of the Human Resistance Force (HRF). Your mission is to help the HRF take back Reactor Building 3, restore power to the secret military base, and drive back the Humech robots that have seized New Austin.
In this episode of The Annotator, Winifred Phillips talks about her journey to and through her original score for SCRAPER: FIRST STRIKE. She explains how she represents both the human side and artificial side of the conflict through her choices in instrumentation and provides a detailed, musical exploration for each of the five tracks from the game's original soundtrack presented here.
