Wandersong dev reveals how he came up with the game's main character

Wandersong isn't exactly your typical game. You play as a singing bard that only has his voice to aid him through his journey. How does one come up with such a unique idea? Wandersong creator Greg Lobanov reveals the details in a new interview.

I had the idea for the main character when I was singing in the car while careening down a highway. The larger story was loosely inspired by my experience living on my bicycle and riding across the USA in 2014 and 2015. What made it all click was when I came up with the music wheel interface though... I wanted to try turning a controller into an expressive musical instrument.
