  • Sound and Music in Games April 2010, VU Amsterdam
    Sound and Music in Games April 2010, VU Amsterdam Sound and Music in Games by Peter Peerdeman http://www.few.vu.nl/˜ppeerde Abstract Sound and music play an ever growing role in the development of video games. Be- cause of technological advancements and the broadening target audience game experi- ences with hollywood movie quality scripts and audio are uprising. This trend also opens up a whole new genre of musical games that let gamers experience music in a whole new interactive manner. By discussing the different aspects, technologies and trends of video game audio I give an introduction to the increasing importance of audio in the video game industry. Introduction In the past decade, sound and music in games have evolved rapidly. While sounds from the first arcade machines were merely designed to attract attention from gamers walking around the arcade hall, modern day games feature complex orchestrated dynamic soundtracks to accompany the movie-like experience along with context supporting sound effects that con- tribute to the immersion, or “emotional involvement” of the player. For as long as video games have existed, audio has always offered challenges for game developers. Some of the challenges have been solved by technology, but other fundamental challenges still exist, for example: “how does a game with a dynamic soundtrack tell a con- sistent and interesting story?” On the other hand, audio also offers even more opportunities, for instance the ability to evoke emotional responses, immerse players, and create a sense of location within a game. Unlike hollywood movies, that are carefully directed and inherently linear, games have the exciting feature of being non-linear and interactive.
