audio & slides(31 MB)
Typically, audio is added after a game is designed. What if we were to consider ways to use audio as part of gameplay? This discussion will focus on ways to use audio in a game from the design level rather than after the design is complete. Greg will provide producers with an enhanced knowledge of working with audio providers efficiently, ways to communicate musical ideas, pitfalls to avoid, and also open a brainstorming session for ways to improve.
