Understanding the Audio Needs of a Game and Its Audience

Overview:

A study of the sound across two games; Supermassive Games' The Quarry and Interior Night's As Dusk Falls.

This session will explore how and why. Adele Cutting, Audio Director at Soundcuts Ltd, will describe the individual approach for each production and compare the two: delving into dialogue, the importance of emotes, Foley, ambience, sound effects, and music. For both productions, the entirety of the audio was outsourced, so outsourcing production and best practices will also be touched upon.
