You know what they say: it ain't over 'til the fat Draenei sing. Or dance. Or, well, whatever it is they're good at doing these days. And despite World of Warcraft musical composer Jason Hayes not currently working for Blizzard, he still recounts his experiences with the developers in a positive light.
Hayes had a recent interview with GameSpot AU, talking about the obstacles and nuances of the creative process behind music for award-winning MMO franchise. What caught our attention in the interview, however, was talk of his other projects and possible future prospects. Looks like his future is promising - and from the point of view of us gamers, Hayes' dropping of hints in the interview makes us hopeful. Especially with the mention of StarCraft 2...
GameSpot AU: You weren't credited in the Burning Crusade soundtrack or trailers. Did you have any involvement with the projects?
Jason Hayes: I've since gotten involved with NCsoft. It's a different developer, and we're doing a brand-new title for them; a really huge game that isn't announced yet, but it should be very soon, and it's really exciting.
GS AU: Will you be working on the StarCraft 2 soundtrack?
JH: You never know. NCsoft precludes a certain amount of cross-involvement, but you know, Blizzard and their game worlds are so much in my bloodstream now, and I have such an affinity for that, that I certainly am not admitting to myself I won't be involved with things in the future. I hope to get involved with other Blizzard enterprises, because I still have so many friends there, and they just make incredible games.
Interpret that as you will. We're just giving the guy some props for being such a sport with the people he works with. And if his ties to the gaming developers are strong enough, we can expect a lot of good things in the near and far future.
