I usually hear the term, "limits breed creativity" in a design sense - but right now I'm understanding it in a logistical/life sense too.

Yet these designers worked around and with those limitations to create magic, and maybe they wouldn't have come up with these ideas if they had every modern tool at their disposal.

In times like this where the game industry is trickier to navigate, I think of some of the early developers and how they made the most of their limitations. Graphics were just vectors or pixels on a screen, sounds were basic digital waveforms, and game engines weren't even a thought.

Whatโ€™s something youโ€™ve heard in #GameAudio thatโ€™s jumped out to you recently? ๐Ÿค”๐ŸŽฎ๐ŸŽง

Iโ€™ve been playing Skate 4 and LOVE how they implement music as a collectible! The transition from 3D to 2D audio, removing filters, and UI sounds perfectly convey whatโ€™s happening and feel so satisfying. ๐Ÿ˜™๐ŸคŒ๐Ÿป๐Ÿ›น
