For the roguelite shooter NIMRODS: GunCraft Survivor, Damian composed a dynamic, adaptive score designed to match the game's escalating intensity. Utilizing a vertical layering system, the music evolves in real-time—expanding from minimal tension to dense, high-energy arrangements as enemy hordes overwhelm the screen. This responsive audio architecture ensures that the soundtrack acts as a direct extension of the gameplay loop, heightening the player's adrenaline during peak combat moments.
