Music and video games have had a long history and The Sausage Factory has not been shy in talking to developers of games that make music more integral to the gameplay experience. Spectra by British developer Gateway Interactive is a game that uses procedural based content creation that is linked directly the music that is being played. Inspired by F Zero, Spectra has players controlling a ship that flies along a narrow pathway that the player must try to keep on while avoiding obstacles. Show host Chris O'Regan chats Jenny Eckloff, the Communications Manager for Gateway Interactive about Spectra and hamsters.
