Ludic Sound Lab: Introduction to FMOD in 2D Game Environments
WORKSHOP
The Ludic Sound Lab is a beginner level workshop exploring Unity 2D and FMOD Studio, a third party software that has become an industry standard for sound designers and musicians working in video game development.
Join us for a short talk titled Early Video Game Sound Design and the Politics of Nostalgia (11am-11:45am), followed by a brief introduction to FMOD, a valuable tool for iterative sound design (11:45am - 1:30pm). Participants will receive access to templates for 2D game concepts including a platformer and a top-down roguelike that will enable them to experiment using their own sound libraries. One-on-one project support is available for getting the templates up and working.
