Making the Lives of Audio Designers Easier in Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2
Game development is an incredibly collaborative industry, where professionals from widely varied backgrounds come together to create something fantastic. Audio designers have a very important role in creating an immersive experience for the player with sounds, music and VO. The role of an audio programmer is to smooth out and optimize the pipeline from sound creation to implementation in-engine, so audio designers can focus on the creative part of the process. In this behind-the-scenes look at the production of Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2’s award-winning audio, Siddhant Ravi will talk about some of the systems he implemented, the thought process behind them, the results and benefits, as well as things that could be improved upon. He’ll reflect on the value of cross-discipline understanding and collaboration, and how it led to innovations which exceeded both designers’ and programmers’ initial expectations.
