Interview With Mobile Designer Jason Surguine. Part 1

 

Today we will be interviewing a seasoned-artist in game developing and musical composition, Jason Surguine, who we caught up with while he was on-location in Tokyo, Japan.   If you’ve ever played any of PDAMILL’s games, then you are already familiar with Jason’s work, since he is the man behind the music and many other elements of their games.

 

Jason has long been one of my favorite mobile game developers, so I was extremely excited to have the opportunity to catch up with him for a quick chat.  Today, we’ll be talking about his background and influences.  In part 2, we’ll look at some of his games and what the future may hold for both Jason and PDAMILL.
