Role: Music & Sound Design
Takeover Trail’s visual design was done in a comic book pop-art style. With this in mind, I looked towards classic TV superhero intros and secret agent movie/television themes to get inspiration for the music. Sound Design plays a huge role in supporting the interface and providing player feedback as they keep track of the numerous variables that impede their ability to take over the world.
Times are hard, and every day is a struggle. With society slowly falling apart it seems like we’re bound for utter chaos. But things don’t have to be this way… You can unite the world! You have the power as a leader to weed out the unruly behavior of your followers and to unify all countries in the world into one giant utopia!
Of course, no leader had an easy ride bringing those in their nations under rule. Quell the revolutionaries that rise up against you in the form of rebellions! Rule with an iron fist and sway the people of the world to your side with force, but also use propaganda, social media, and religion to reign over the minds of the masses!
It’s up to you to push your way to the top, so don’t stop until the whole world is yours!
