My fiance was playing After Inc: Revival and I was kinda bored, so I started playing My drums along to the game music. Then I started changing up the beat to reflect what was going on in the game. Then I started associating game events with audio cues, and used the audio cues to guide My partner in the game and help it play better. My partner didn’t notice a celebration bubble, so I used music to tell it the bubble was there.

A well designed game soundtrack helps the player understand what’s going on and guides them to make good choices. Today I was a game soundtrack.

      We’ve decided we simply must do it again, because it’s great for both of us. I get more motivation to practice drums, and My partner has an easier time focusing on the game.

      Looking forward to playing scary drums when the zombies attack

        Reminds me Of the old silent movies that would have an orchestra in the theater to play background music.
