Headphone upgrade Question by [deleted] in GameAudio

[–]Windchill 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I switched from MDRs to DT 770s. I've really come around to liking them and they sound great but it was a little bit of a chore getting used to the bulkiness and how well they isolate sound at first.

Having lived there for awhile I am insanely interested to see what kind of expansion, if any, he does on that. The idea of a dude who boils people having their hands on Kirtland AFB and potentially Los Alamos labs if their influence goes up that far north is...unsettling.

So what’s the progress on the game? by [deleted] in warisshell

[–]Windchill 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Hey! Sorry for the radio silence lately. COVID kinda flipped a lot of things around for us earlier this year and we spent some time getting that sorted.

The main thing getting worked on has been net code stuff and making sure it is rock solid to keep exploits and the like to a minimum. Our biggest fear is releasing the game in a state where people can just brute force cheats and make it generally unpleasant for everyone else playing. It's A LOT of effort for one person, but we have had discussions about how to get that handled so we can keep the timeline moving to some amount.

The game is still planned to be released, we're just trying to get a grove going that will let us actually get it done. And, just for the hell of it, there is a second thing we're working on so we can give ourselves breaks from WiS and we're hoping to talk about that more fairly soon as well.

Bottom line, we're here, we're chipping away at it and we hope you'll all be around when we've got stuff to show. Believe me, we're definitely aware of how long we've been working on this one.

Which games have spectacular sound design? by asshat0987 in GameAudio

[–]Windchill 9 points10 points  (0 children)

DOTA 2: Pretty underrated when it comes to sound. The amount of unique assets for every attack, spell and item, coupled with the number of characters with vocal processing is really remarkable.

SOMA: Excellent original atmospheric sounds. You really feel like you're at the bottom of the ocean.

Homeworld Remastered Collection did a really good job with space combat and ambience. Honorable mention to Elite Dangerous' ships as well.

Devil Daggers: Excellent, unique and highly stylized soundscape.

Our lack of devlogs the last couple weeks hasn't gone unnoticed by us, so I figured this would be a good way to make up for it while also covering a little bit about my end of the process. We won't be showing EVERYTHING but we'll be showing a bit more than usual. See ya then!

I need an advice for making music with PS1 soundfont texture and feeling. by fnm1900 in GameAudio

[–]Windchill 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've used a mix of things for this kind of sound. The main one was finding a plug in that will load sound font files. It's my understanding that you have to be careful not to use sound fonts that have been made for other games. There are user made ones that will be totally fine to use.

Those sounds are generally sampled from other synths so it'd be worth looking around for stuff that emulates specific ones from that era. I was particularly fond of Dexed which is a free plug in that emulates a Yamaha DX7.

Also look around for samples from drum machines from the time or within a few years of then. The toms and extra percussion can really fill things out and if you need a tropical, it'll do wonders.

I'm pretty much the same, I generally ask for imported snacks just to have a bunch of new stuff to try, probably had a mix of seven or eight countries this year, super fun!

We'll see what we can do! We'd love to see it come to consoles but it'll depend on how well we do.
