The Technomancer will only be released next week, alongside our review on June 28, but Focus Interactive authorized us to stream the prolog of this new adventure by Spiders this evening. The icing on the cake is that we will be joined by famous French composer Olivier Derivière and that you will be able to ask him questions about his work on the game. It should be very interesting so we hope you'll be there at 9:30 p.m. CEST.
Reminder: The replay is up.

So I'm very happy to hear you guys are doing a livestream of The Technomancer, and more importantly with one of the developers, which is very great.
I really hope you guys do more of these livestream with developers. Or at least more developer interview segments, even if it's only with French companies, where you guys can travel to.
I really liked those interviews you guys did with Jonathan Morin, Creative Director on Watch Dogs 1, 2 years ago: http://www.gamersyde.com/news_gamersyde_preview_wa...
And also the Project CARS livestream with its Creative Director, Andy Tudor:

And for those who don't know, or whose memory is a little bit foggy, Olivier Derivière - nicknamed "Game Music's Eclectic Daredevil" - has worked on the soundtrack of the following video games titles:
The Technomancer – Spiders Games, Focus Home Ent. – 2016
Harold – MoonSpider – 2015
Supernova – Primal Games, Bandai Namco US – 2015
Subject 13 – Microids – 2015
Bound by Flame – Spiders, Focus Ent. – 2014
Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag - Freedom Cry – Ubisoft 2014
Remember Me – Dontnod, Capcom – 2013
Of Orcs & Men – Cyanide, Spiders, Focus Home Ent 2011
Tangled – PlanetMoon, Disney Interactive 2010
Heroes of might & Magic Kingdoms – Ubisoft 2009
Party Games – Hydravision, Ubisoft 2009
Alone in the Dark – Eden Games, Atari Inc 2008
Obscure 2 – Hydravision, Dreamcatcher 2008
Obscure – Hydravision, Microids 2005
Rallychampionsheep – Blacksheep Studio, Koch Media 2004
And many more works, like movies, TV shows, trailers, etc. I specially liked his work in both Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag - Freedom Cry, and Remember Me, which had excellent sountracks. I still remember vividly some of their music. As for the other titles, I have yet to play The Technomancer, Bound by Flame and Harold, but they are on my list.
This is Olivier Derivière's official site: http://olivierderiviere.com/ And anyone interested can learn more about him and his career in the "About" section in his site.
PS. DontNod is a French company and is definitely working on Life is Strange's Season 2... just saying. In that note, Watch Dogs 2, For Honor, Steep, Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Wildlands, South Park: The Fractured But Whole, etc are being developed by Ubisoft, which is also a French company... so, you know.
Ganbatte! (Do your best! / Good luck!)

Here is the link to the livestream:

For some reason, I never watched it. I remember downloading it, but ended up deleting it because of a lack of space in my HDD. You better ready GamerSyde's servers, because I'm re-downloading it again. (And this time I'm watching it!)
Also, the main character's name is Zachariah and it seems you can't change it as well, at least I didn't see any option to be able to do so.
You can see the Character Creation/Customization screen in the video below, it starts at 1:20.

I hope this doesn't discourage you from playing The Technomancer, if you're interested in the game.
Guess will give it a Try anyway :)
