A fan of Diablo? Well, you should be. We’re huge fans of Matt Uelmen’s music here, which is why we’re a little more than ecstatic that he’s working on Torchlight from Runic Games which is out tomorrow. If you didn’t catch our lengthy interview with Matt Uelmen, I highly suggest you do, as he had a lot to say about the music for the game, his many instruments, and even about his time at Blizzard Entertainment.
The task at hand now, however, is the soundtrack for Torchlight. Is it any good? Does Uelmen live up to his work on Diablo and World of Warcraft? I think he most certainly does, and he miraculously does so without a big budget and a live orchestra. I guess if anything, as we all know was the case in the early days of game music, limitations drive people to do great things, and Matt Uelmen has certainly created something great with the Torchlight soundtrack.
