This week our guest was a specialist in sound design by the name of Jessica Saunders, she is a BAFTA Breakthrough Brit and Director of her very own games studio Salix Games. She also worked on Batman: Arkham Knight, creating sounds for the game’s UI and designing many other in the game. Her lecture will teach us about many different types of sounds specific to game design<\/strong>, and more specifically how to tackle them as a Sound Designer<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before going into much detail, Jessica taught us about seven different categories of sound<\/strong> that we hear in every game that we play:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She then began to go into detail about each category of sound design, answering several questions about each:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Task 11 – Sound Design brainstorm<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n

Jessica then gave us a prompt to brainstorm about in groups, she gave us a situation and tasked us with creating a “Things to consider” as she had been providing us with for the other types of sound design so far.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The following is what I had thought about when considering “Sound Designing” this specific scenario.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Where?\u00a0<\/strong>– Where is this confrontation taking place?\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Scale? – <\/strong>How close are you to the creature? How big is the creature?\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • How? – <\/strong>How does it breathe? How does it work?<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • What?<\/strong> – What is its biology? What type of animal is it\/based off of?<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Context?<\/strong> – Are you hunting the creature? Is it hostile to you?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
    \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
    \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
    \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    This lecture taught me so many things about sound design in video games that I had no idea even existed, it gave me a new perspective on what I hear when playing games and will help me when coming up with the sound portion of my GDD.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
