“Tracklaying” (triggering) individual sounds is accomplished using game dev and middleware tools in similar ways across many different types of games. But how are sounds choreographed to form a soundtrack in inherently chaotic, open world, sandbox games?
At Avalanche Studios, we've spent a number of years learning some right (and wrong) ways to take information from the game and use it to define meaningful moments.
We’ll show examples from past projects where using a sound designer’s idea of narrative context and the right game data helped us orchestrate better soundtracks.
