ok #gameaudio people of the PNW, I have an ask of you.
Our Sonic Landscape is coming up and I'm looking to spread the word. I would greatly appreciate if you would share this news with another audio person to let them know about it. especially if they aren't on this site.

I'm very proud to have lead this project and what this team was able to pull off in only a few months.

I'm excited to announcing the release of Legend of Shadowtail
Legend of Shadowtail is a short one-dungeon zelda-like where you play as a ninja squirrel searching the sewers for a magical golden acorn.

realizing learning a musical instrument is a fairly attainable intensive flow state that is normally reserved for competitive sports, or... hm rhythm games. except they keep getting deeper. if you enjoy Lumines or Crypt of the Necrodancer, for example, may I recommend... piano or guitar
I've been calling them deduction games
"findings revealed a significant negative correlation between frequent AI tool usage and critical thinking abilities"
14. Sound effects ON for game trailers!
Unless you're making something artsy like the Gears of War "Mad World" trailer include the sound effects. It's a critical part of the game's feel so it should go into the trailer.
Turn music off while you record so you don't have to sync it manually!
2. If you're mixing dialogue and music make sure the music's volume is dipped so the dialogue is audible! Inaudible dialogue over music is a red flag for an inexperienced editor.
If you want to get really advanced, use EQ to carve out space for the dialogue (or just hire a sound mixer!)
This is today!
Just over a week away!
Seattle audio programmers! Announcing our next Audio Programmers' Meetup.

Anyone have a favorite music track from Hades?
I want to arrange something for the orchestra, but I haven't played it (yet), so I'm not sure which songs resonate with people
A pride flag with every color band represented by a NASA image. White is Earth clouds, pink is aurora, blue is the Sun in a specific wavelength, brown is Jupiter clouds, black is the Hubble deep field, red is the top of sprites, orange is a Mars crater, yellow is the surface of Io, green is a lake with algae, blue is Neptune, and purple is the Crab Nebula in a specific wavelength.
I made this Pride flag using only NASA images and our team thought it would be cool to share on social (I work on the NASA heliophysics communications team), but it's getting all sorts of hate on the bird app and Fbook. Thought y'all might be more appreciative of it here. ☺️🏳️🌈💖
I'd like to thank Stephen Baker for his leadership, and Aileen Paron for her collaboration.
I am looking for my next opportunity! As I have nearly a decade of experience in interactive audio, I am looking for my next role as a game audio programmer. If you know of any leads, would love to hear about them. Thanks!
Hey everyone! Last week I was one of the people affected by the layoffs at Studio Wildcard. Wildcard was my first full-time gig in this industry, and we had a great team there.
Happening this Thursday!
I wouldn't mind a 5 hour talk on musical systems more suited for algorithmic music 👀
