Richard Huenink,
creator of 7 Days to Die

"We used Native Darkness Productions to compose all the music for 7 Days to Die and not only did they do fantastic job of creating compelling content they went to great lengths to play the game and understand the product and our goals. The system we designed creates dynamic music sections from loops so this project would challenge the most technical of audio designers."

Christopher Walka,
Owner of Brutiful Games

"My company used Native Darkness for the composition and sound design on our upcoming game "Hexzle". They were extremely easy to work with and thorough with their process. I couldn't be happier with the results and I find myself constantly recommending them to all of my fellow developers."

Andrew Allen, Writer/Producer In Film, Television, and Video Games

Sam is a total pro, a great listener and collaborator, and someone you can count on to hit deadlines and take notes in stride. It was a total pleasure working with him, and the music he and his team created either matched or exceeded my vision for the project every time! It never felt like Sam was working a gig or just trying to get a paycheck, his commitment to the total vision of the project was absolute. He's not a hired hand, he's a true creative partner. Thanks Sam!
