“Burnout” – a sound design retrospective with Ben Minto

“Burnout” – a sound design retrospective with Ben Minto

To end this month of "Burnout", I thought it might be fun to reinterpret the theme title and take a look at the sound design for a classic series of racing games that bear the same name. So allow me if you will, to take you... back in time!   The year was 2001. It was the year the gaming world debuted the gruff yet dulcet tones of Max Payne. It was the … [Read more...]

How I Failed My Way to Progress

September 16, 2016 by Ashley Coull

How I Failed My Way to Progress

Last year, I managed to build the worst ever Voice Over dialog pipeline. What started from good intentions and the drive to be organized, slowly deteriorated into an epic mess of versioning issues and inconsistencies between English text, localization and in-game text. It was, by every sense of the word, a failure. … [Read more...]

News: Behind the Scenes with Plants vs. Zombies 2 Neon Mixtape Tour

October 21, 2015 by admin

Considering the newest Plants vs. Zombies 2 release has the word "mixtape" in the name, there was never any doubt that music would play a big role in the game's experience. And as anyone who closely follows PopCap Games and their audio obsession, they're not a company that does something halfway when it comes to sound or music. That's why its a real treat that PvZ2 Neon Mixtape … [Read more...]

News: SOMA – Behind the Sound

September 22, 2015 by admin

There's a common joke among game audio artists and designers: if you ask any number of sound designers what genre they'd most like to work on, the odds are good they'll all say "horror", twice.
