Sound Design tip: In order to make your sound design reel stand out in a crowded market, forgo redesigning overdone clips and games. Do a re-design of Louis Malle's 1981 masterpiece "My Dinner with Andre"

I've just realised, I've had at least 1 Arcane redesign for every sound design reel I've worked on. maybe my good luck charm?

Little timer saver, if you set up your sound library as one big database in the Reaper Media Explorer, you can skip waiting for it to scan all the files every time you want to look through it. (esp useful the larger the library gets)

Lots of interesting interactions in spelunky 1/2, using them to trip taps, hurt each other, sacrifice on altars, exploding to clear paths, setting things on fire, goes on

I didnt finish it but i did love the first half that I saw, really interesting to have such a long, in detail document of development recorded while it was happening, rather than post release.

If I was a big pair of hands with huge eyes in each palm, I wouldn't throw objects at the player that they can then throw back into my eye killing me in 3 hits. But thats just me.

Should games hold the player hand? Should there be difficulty settings? Do these mechanics lead to problematic ludo narratives? Should sacrifices be made for accessibility? It... Get this... depends.

Havent seen it but last night I had a dream about nosferatu where it was a buddy comedy and there was a flashback where young nosfeeatu was played by james franco. Is that what happens in the film?

I'm going to play with it some more over the next week, but if you're looking for an upgrade from Reaper's stock EQ, I'd recommend the js effect ReEQ - Parametric Equaliser by Nitsuj. It's just got a nice resizable interface, and it's free on the forums.

Personal favourite trope is when british media has to replace what should be a baseball bat with a cricket bat. They serve the same purpose but its just inherently so much sillyer

It's been interesting to see lots of game audio folk feeling like they have to share everything and be as visible (audible?) as possible to ya know, maybe get a possible sniff at an interview But also worth noting is who's actually able to afford to do that extra unpaid work?

I used to really struggle with this in my music, the break through for me was just make lots of bad art on purpose as quickly as possible. I started enjoying what I did more and found it easier to figure out what I did/didn't like. Also it's just freeing to make for the process not for the outcome

Got laid off in september, and I had a friend who worked the stage version of Boys from the Blackstuff. The week after I got laid off we got some cheapo tickets to go see it to take my mind off it. They failed to mention to me that the show was about how soul crushing being unemployed is 🙃

Open Question for #Gameaudio / #SoundDesign people: In your opinion, what's the difference between a plugin that's good for game audio sound design VS a plugin that's good for music production?
