Game Developers Conference’s Post

George Mack’s tweet about 10 Thoughts On The Video Game Industry is a reminder that structuring large projects as a series of “regular, small, and easy wins” keeps folks motivated to continue grinding levels. This aspect of game design isn’t the only reason that “the video game industry is worth more than TV, movie, and music industries combined”, but the regular dopamine hit of small rewards is key to the kind of engagement that keeps folks gaming 24 hours straight, locked into the infinite scroll of social media, or going above and beyond on that big project your team is working on. 🧐 https://lnkd.in/gEhxRPZ4

Here is a demonstration of how I use Soothe2 to clean noise out of very aggressive monster vocalizations for games. With large games that have a lot going on, it's important to keep each sound as clean and free of noise as possible to prevent excessive noise build-up that can lead to a muddy mix. This is not a silver bullet by any means, and the outcomes vary widely depending on the source material. However, I've found that it holds potential to do some magic when trying to get rid of noise introduced by distortion on my monster vocalizations. Let me know what you think, and reach out with any questions. #sounddesign #gameaudio #gamedev
