“What I want to see is for the tools to continue to evolve. So many teams are still making games with old or obsolete tools. I want to see tools that work the way audio people think. We shouldn’t have to be programmers to create and implement game audio.”

I second that emotion!

One of the biggest barriers between classic sound design and interactive is the creativity enabled by the tool’s or processes used in implementation. That’s not to say that every feature has to have a shiny button, but there has to be enough flexibility to allow sound designers to fully realize their sounds within the game space without handing over that responsibility to someone outside of the audio team.

Looking forward to the articles, bring em on!
