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.
This sounds so so fun.
Would have tried to become a piano accompanist if music didn’t pay poorly, still do this in my free time whenever possible and was lucky enough to get to do it in school a lot.
