This is an exercise that shows the relevance that different layers of sound can influence our perception in a “simple” video game.
The original set of videos included (some) sound, yet this sound was totally replaced.
(These videos were only used for the purpose of experimentation and are not João’s copyright property.)
Different sounds were created using synthesizers and audio-processing techniques to represent various movements, characters, and game actions.
Music was then written and added on top of the sound effects to help increase the excitement of this particular game scene. Some adjustments to the sound effects were also required to better accommodate the music and create a more enthusiastic environment.
In this second scene, a lot of sounds from the first scene were kept since the environment is the same. Yet, the player character is this time more equipped (with flying equipment, etc.). In order to accommodate this new reality, sounds that reflect this were created and added.
As in the first example, music was added to the sound effects to create a more exciting game environment. The same musical identity was kept and for that reason, a lot of the same instruments timbers were used. This time with different musical ideas to demonstrate a different moment from the game.
