The Impact model of GameSynth also allows for the design of contact sounds. Define a material, a surface profile, and draw✏ on the Sketch Pad. It is possible to use a picture🖼 as an extra source of modulation. https://lnkd.in/gdu685aa #sounddesign #gameaudio #postproduction

Recently had a great talk with my friend about importance of the ambience and player experience as it is. So my friend hated Death Stranding, right? Was watching playthroughs, streams and actually wholeheartedly hated it. 'Courier simulator, where's fun in that?' he said. Some time passes and he don't have much to do, so he gave a chance to DS, just for the sake of it. And oh man was he suprised. The ambience, the atmosphere and sudden random music hit him right in the sweet spot. The way he described it - 'This is the first game where I actually felt like I'm resting. The most basic mechanic, which is walking, was done so entertaining that I just could let go of the game for the next three days.' He was enjoying just being a courier out there. Building paths for other players. Brigning materials to stations, just so that he could take another run to deliver those materials to other places. To me it's quite impressive, you know? KOJIMA PRODUCTIONS took the most boring part (as I thought) of the any game out there and made it full of experience and actually fun. And I believe there a great skill behind it. They did just an amazing job to create an atmosphere where you actually enjoying yourself by doing simple things and actually feeling rested. So I belive that mechanics and gameplay are great and important stuff yes. But the ability to make player actually dive deep into experience just because of the environment, ambience and overall feel of the game - this is where the true mastery lies.

I implemented a captivating feature in my game where statues rotate when the player approaches them. To enhance the player experience, I utilized procedural sound design by incorporating 4 sliding rock samples and 2 rock debris sounds. This technique simulated the effect of rocks sliding on a dusty surface, creating a more immersive and engaging gameplay with a grinding feel on the surface. #GameDevelopment #SoundDesign #ProceduralAudio

The secret sauce behind a well thought out game, is thinking about how the story, the tone and the gameplay affect each other, and making informed design decisions based on those relationships.

This is illustration that I created for my Course: Creature Illustration with Lunar Academy as a demo with explanations of the process, color theory, how to put storytelling in portrayal of creatures and there is so much more about biology of animals, how to render, mistakes and how to fix them...

So... we released our spooky alien game! https://lnkd.in/dwN9GV9u The total play time is about 30min and the game is 4.00 EUR. If you're a fan of fancy visual effects, cinematic experiences and aliens, check it out! Some technical background: around 6 people worked on the project during after work hours for two months. We extensively used "Volumetric Fog & Mist 2" Unity asset which I would highly recommend to anyone looking to quickly add some mood to their game! FMOD was another tool that greatly simplified audio implementation and I can't imagine making a game without it. If you're a gamedev, make sure to check these assets out!

🎧 The 3 Games With Audio Design That Blew My Mind 🤯 As an aspiring game audio craftsman, I'm constantly analyzing titles that push sonic boundaries. Here are my top 3 picks for groundbreaking soundscapes: The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild 🗡️ This open world masterpiece transports players through richly ambient organic textures and dynamically reactive music. Every footstep, weapon clash and environmental cue feels intricately woven into gameplay and exploration. From lush forests 🍃 to forlorn mechanical beasts, it’s a breathtaking spin on the Zelda universe.👌 (Truly a less is more approach. I love it) Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice 🧠 The haunting binaural audio perfectly centers the player within the protagonist Senua’s perspective. Hallucinatory voices surround in lifelike intimacy while Norse runes and rituals envelop with chilling intricacy. This spare no expense approach to situational sound engineering remains unmatched. 😱🎧(Also , this game is visually just gorgeous. no other way to put it) Control 🕹️ As a metaphysical science fiction thriller, Control requires trippy sound effects no conventional studio could generate. Remedy truly made a mad masterpiece with this one , bespoken instruments and combinatory systems produced wonderfully unfamiliar, yet insidiously harmonic artifacts mirroring the game’s reality distortion. 🤯 (FYI i adore Jesse Faden as a character) What games blow you away sonically?

Music redesign from Dead Space 1 using Reaper and Wwise! I Tried to capture the eeriness and constant fear of being devoured by Lovecraftian monsters in a isolated spaceship using extended techniques of instruments mixed with some synthetizers. The music is following two gameplay states: Exploration -> Combat Combat -> Transition (suspense) -> Exploration Additionally, there are two triggers: - Resolving a locked door - Animation of a monster passing above you Also, all gamesyncs in #Wwise are being controlled by #Reaper! This is almost the most accurate way to represent the music in the game by using all the effects, transitions and variations of Wwise like: - Volumes, Fades in/out, EQ - Time Envelopes - RTPCs (Monster distance, Player Health, etc) - Reverbs, Lfos, chorus, distortion, Flanger, etc - Panning - Etc The redesign is played twice so you can hear the difference. The DAW only sends MIDI notes and Wwise takes care of the rest. #GameAudio #GameMusic #GameComposer #MusicDesign #Horror #Orchestra
