@jordanfehr.bsky.socialReposted by @emaudible.bsky.socialMore of this energy. This is the type of thing that a middle school/high school kid sees and goes "wow that's a cool job" and starts learning about sound.
@ashellinthepit.comReposted by @emaudible.bsky.socialHow did we implement the ambiences for Big Walk? @nicholaszhangaudio.bsky.social manually drew poly lines for all the different biomes and rivers, and built tools to detect shorelines and scatter positions. Most of it is done before the game even runs, and then we just blend between stored values!
@ashellinthepit.comReposted by @emaudible.bsky.socialThis is why @emaudible.bsky.social recorded the ambiences using a quad setup! (We went with the standard and then got rid of one of the channels in the edit). She built this contraption using antennas so that it would be portable and easy to hike around with!

@mothership.blogReposted by @emaudible.bsky.socialBig Walk was something of a dream project for Vancouver-based @emaudible.bsky.social. It required camping in the wilderness, hiking to the top of many hills, and one of her favorite things: listening. By @zoehhannah.com:

@emaudible.bsky.socialWhat did you get
@ninapenner.bsky.socialReposted by @emaudible.bsky.socialOur @somanygames.co.uk group called Big Walk's main collectables kongs, based on their resemblance to dog toys. It turns out this is what @ashellinthepit.com used for the avatar sounds. A great conversation w/ @emaudible.bsky.social at @playwatchlisten.bsky.social this week: youtu.be/Tp1Dt04c34E?...
@alanahpearce.bsky.socialReposted by @emaudible.bsky.socialAfter we stopped recording this episode Mike and I both basically went 'well that's the most useful episode of this show we've ever recorded' hahaha.
@garfie.zoneReposted by @emaudible.bsky.socialWow I can't believe I found a good website. It's the site of the group that did sound for Big Walk. It's lovely to look at, it's lovely to listen to, pretty much everything is hand drawn and it all feels alive. Absolutely delightful.

@ashellinthepit.comReposted by @emaudible.bsky.socialSometimes it's the little things that really go a long way 🐦 @nicholaszhangaudio.bsky.social talks about how ambient scatters (like birds, frogs, and other critters) are meticulously placed and synchronized across networks for Big Walk
