  • What makes a good sound? In games, strong sound design effectively communicates what’s happening to and around you, provides feedback on the decisions you make, and helps immerse you in the game experience. In this video, a few sound designers discuss how to think about sound in games, cover some basics in sound terminology, and the sound designer’s toolbox.

    13:55 "It's ok to break rules. Whatever sounds good is gonna sound good". No joke, I was at game music event, and one guy was telling us how he made some sounds for AAA game using vibrator on the fridge, and a dildo on a guitar or something. I jokingly asked if he has behind scenes materials, and he actually showed us the video! He used it to make machine sounds, and it got accepted. That game my friends is Metal Gear Solid 5. Think of that next time you play it

    Sound design is one of the most underrated/ignored aspects of video games.
    It contributes the most to the game's atmosphere and immersiveness, and yet when it comes to immersion, most people speak about the visuals and graphic design of the game; or they limit the scope of sound design to music only, and fail to notice literally everything else sound design is impacting.

      Do what makes you feel something. Don't base what you could be doing in 10 years by your present location. You don't know what life has to offer yet. But in order to get the opportinities you wish for, you have to put some sweat first, think of it as a fuel.
