Respawn - Gathering of Game Developers 2016

How can music and sound design greatly enhance an indie project while not blowing up the budget or schedule? If that sounds like an interesting question this talk is for you!

Max and Johan are going to share their journey of making great audio assets for their current gaming project (at least they hope that is what they did). They share their approach on creating an adaptive Soundtrack and the Sound Design for the game and why they think audio is a great opportunity for Indie Games out there. They also are going to outline their key lessons learned and are looking forward to a lively discussion with the audience!

For a sneak peek on their audio assets watch the trailers on www.squadloft.com.

Capricia Productions is doing something unique and a bit crazy: Producing music albums as video games. 'The Birdcage' is a music game album and a collaboration between artists from Guns N' Roses, former Evanescence members, Within Temptation, Epica and others currently in production. We will present 'The Birdcage', discuss the logic behind such games, the challenges we face, how we solve them and how you can (and should) make such games with us.

Video games music has found it's way to the live stage in many different ways: from orchestras and rock bands to street-shows and live musicals. From performing the original scores to cover versions, live game-plays with adaptive music, interaction with crowds and more.
Has this combination reached it's limit? Where else can it go?This talk will define and explore this field.
