Hey BSky #gameaudio #sounddesign ! I am looking for a list of universities /colleges that offer sound design and game audio specific courses. I know of a number of them but I am looking for any I might not know of, AND if you personally went there and your experience with it! Please and thanks ^^

A new challenger approaches

Forgot to post these here! Last year, a cosplayer named Mille Nuages out of Quebec posted that she was selling her Fl4k cosplay. Being a massive fan of all of the Borderlands games, and Fl4k being my favorite character, I couldn't help but buy it. Photo credit goes to MrAwesomeTaco out of Edmonton!

I got 192 responses on my game audio career / education survey! So happy with this amount of responses. I'll be figuring out how to properly show off the data within the next little bit here and will post once finished.

Always <3

Day 1 Pokemon TCG and grabbed this lovely thing. Having a great time with it.

The last time I worked on Veilguard was in 2021, but I still have extremely fond memories of my time on it. Seeing those reviews come in today is making my heart very very happy. Proud of all of you Bioware folk today <3 <3

Sure why not

#gameaudio I just realized I can upload videos now, so here's my own version of the sound design discord's October SDC (Part 1)

Up to 158 responses on my #gameaudio survey! Very exciting. I'll leave it open for another probably two weeks or so then start managing the data. New territory for me so I'm excited to learn how to present it all.

Biggest piece of advice for working on Creature vocalizations: Stop using reverb. Relying on reverb to glue layers together usually ends up muffling the highs and muddying up the mids / lows. Learn how to get your layers to stick better without it first, then add verb to worldize.

#gameaudio Less than a day into it and we have over 100 responses on the survey!! Thank you so much for sharing and responding. Let's keep it going!
