We're coming to Full Indie Summit this Sunday with an awesome batch of games we've worked on for you to play at our table ๐ŸŽฎ๐ŸŽง @asitp-rachel.bsky.social and @snarkism.bsky.social will be around to chat!

Hi! The block is a Leofoto CF-8 Tripod Multi-Adapter Post. The knurled knobs did not come with it, they were Tripod Screw Adapters that Em manually glued to the antennas

@ashellinthepit.comSep 18, 2026, 6:11 PM

This 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!

The bird sounds in Big Walk are also "synchronized" across the network so all players are hearing the same birds coming from the same spots! We achieved this by determining in advance when and where they're playing throughout the day night cycle based on the biome and vegetation.

#BigWalk #gamedev

@ashellinthepit.comSep 17, 2026, 9:22 PM

Each biome is represented by 3 mono emitters that surround you as move into the area and merge into one as you move away. Doing it this way rather than just using stereo sounds allowed us to keep the directionality of the ambience, and we can also partially occlude some of them as needed.

@ashellinthepit.comSep 17, 2026, 9:20 PM

How 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!

After 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.

Wow 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.

Sometimes it's the little things that really go a long way ๐Ÿฆ @nicholaszhangaudio.bsky.social talks about how ambient scatters (like birds, frogs, and other critters) are meticulously placed and synchronized across networks for Big Walk
