Given that The Artful Escape is Beethoven & Dinosaur's first game, what can you tell us about the studio? The creative director shares his inspiration behind the game, speaks to how he transitioned from rock musician to indie dev, elaborates on what it means to receive an Unreal Dev Grant and more. To see how Beethoven & Dinosaur pulled off these impressive feats, we caught up with Galvatron. Despite coming from a relatively small studio, the game managed to garner nominations for Best Art Direction, Best Music, and Best Debut Indie from The Game Awards.

It features a psychedelic 2.5D art style, and Forbes called it “ the most beautiful indie game Of 2021.” This is all the more impressive when you consider the core development team consisted of fewer than 10 developers.

The Artful Escape represents a coming-of-age journey that takes players on a multidimensional adventure. As a result, the game features a musical motif that elegantly intertwines a stellar soundtrack with its gameplay. Being the first game from relatively new Australia-based studio Beethoven & Dinosaur, the title was conceived by Johnny 'Galvatron,' one of the founding members and lead guitarist for the band The Galvatrons. Traverse landscapes made of sound - composed by your movement - as if the world itself were an instrument.The Artful Escape doesn’t have your typical game development origin story. * Shred, soar and dance across the multiverse. * Converse, consult and chill with all manner of beings: disenchanted publicans, nostalgic villagers, lumbering alien wildlife, and reality-defying behemoths. * Craft your own stage persona from the sci-fi beginnings of your backstory to the trim on your moonboots.

* A story about great expectations, towering legacies, aliens, folk music, guitar solos, making stuff up, and living your dreams like memories. Starring voice performances by Michael Johnston, Caroline Kinley, Lena Headey, Jason Schwartzman, Mark Strong, and Carl Weathers. In an attempt to escape the musical legacy of his uncle, a teenage guitar prodigy embarks on a psychedelic journey to inspire his new stage persona, searching for who he isn’t in an adventure spanning stolen opera houses, melodic alien landscapes, and the impossible depths of the Cosmic Extraordinary. On the eve of his first performance, Francis Vendetti struggles with the legacy of a dead folk legend and the cosmic wanderings of his own imagination.
