Episode 62: On the Farm with Ryan Steel

Ed is joined by farm owner and game composer (Catlandia RPG, Pandora; Chains of Chaos) Ryan Steel to check out the soundtracks to games in which farming plays a major role.

Games like Harvest Moon and Stardew Valley have captured the imagination of millions of gamers around the world, so it’s only natural that other game developers have attempted to capitalize on the farming concept that these titles are so well-known for. Today, Ed is joined by farm owner and game composer (Catlandia RPG, Pandora; Chains of Chaos) Ryan Steel to check out the soundtracks to games in which farming plays a major role. From popular titles like Monster Rancher 4 to interesting indies like Staxel, there’s acres of well-crafted music in this episode!
