The video game industry has become a major player in the entertainment industry. Audio is an integral part of the gaming experience. Creating quality audio for video games requires complex sound design and the capacity to respond to the growing expectations of players. From recording sounds effects, ambiances, dialogues, designing soundscapes up to giving life to monsters and impossible vehicles, audio has an enormous part to play in bringing emotion to the gaming experience. It is not just about sound design but also about telling stories. The magic happens at the audio integration stage. Using an audio engine (like WWISE from Audio kinetic), the sound artist and audio integrator set all the parameters of interactivity for all the sounds and gives life to the game to create the best possible gameplay experience.
