| 224s | you |
| 239s | so far and audios definitely yeah one of |
| 242s | the biggest things calm comments and a |
| 246s | lot I was it complicated okay but that's |
| 250s | why we're gonna talk about it and we |
| 251s | have three gentlemen in the couch if you |
| 253s | guys could introduce yourself real quick |
| 254s | let's start the ends hi guys and I'm Flo |
| 261s | facin I'm audio director on hunt and I'm |
| 264s | Lucas and I'm jr. audio designer okay |
| 268s | and what are in short a little bit what |
| 270s | we're gonna talk about today we've got |
| 273s | to start like talking a little bit about |
| 275s | the concept of what we thought in the |
| 276s | beginning of hunt about the audio scheme |
| 280s | then Jonah's gonna show a little bit |
| 282s | about the actual design how we how we |
| 285s | actually do a sound and then I think we |
| 287s | pretty much take it from there for |
| 289s | questions exactly and maybe we serve a |
| 291s | really excited announcement at the end |
| 293s | but uh we'll keep that till the end yes |
| 296s | if to watch all of it so yeah let's get |
| 299s | started with a presentation together for |
| 302s | us where we'll just go through so let's |
| 304s | just go to the first slide yes please |
| 306s | so so for hunt in the beginning we we of |
| 310s | course had a so called high level |
| 312s | concept you you can read a little bit |
| 313s | the text there it's it's of course a bit |
| 315s | market English so of course we we trying |
| 318s | to you know make people understand what |
| 320s | we're doing without playing a sound yet |
| 321s | but the overall goal was to really have |
| 325s | audio as a center part of the whole hunt |
| 328s | experience and that it's really likely |
| 331s | that you need it there you have a |
| 332s | tactical advantage and that everything |
| 334s | in the world emits audio so everything |
| 336s | we hear is actually coming from |
| 338s | something or someone has created that |
| 341s | sound in the world it's not like fake |
| 343s | audio that you hear some arbitrary |
| 345s | things and it's actually not really |
| 347s | there so you can go to the next and |
| 352s | that's basically how we are we think |
| 353s | about that every sound has kind of three |
| 356s | components which altogether creates the |
| 358s | audio experience because in an ideal |
| 360s | world you just sit there |
| 362s | you just consume the audio and you don't |
| 364s | even you don't even notice that it's |
| 366s | there and just perfectly fitting because |
| 368s | then we did a very good job so we have |
| 370s | three things which is feedback immersion |
| 372s | motion feedback just means you know all |
| 375s | the time |
| 376s | what is talking to you what is that |
| 377s | sound you know is it that door opening |
| 379s | is it a - aggro is it gunshot we have |
| 384s | immersion which is like of course it has |
| 385s | to be in the Victorian era at a late |
| 387s | 1880s so it's the 18th century it has to |
| 390s | fit to the world of fund and of course |
| 392s | if you want to have it emotionally |
| 394s | touching so everything is a little bit |
| 396s | larger than life a little bit over |
| 398s | designed so the gun is extra powerful |
| 400s | and the hive is extra aggros everything |
| 403s | is like a little bit on you know push to |
| 405s | 11 so we create emotional reactions with |
| 409s | you guys and which hopefully arranges |
| 411s | through all the emotions people can have |
| 414s | exactly and then next slide same goes |
| 420s | for the style we thought in the |
| 422s | beginning a little bit like okay where |
| 424s | do we where's our sound sources like |
| 426s | where do we want to go in our library or |
| 428s | what what is what is important for us |
| 431s | and obviously this is where the larger |
| 433s | the life idea came so we want to do more |
| 435s | Hollywood blockbuster sounding game it |
| 439s | has to be this nice ass that's a nice |
| 442s | sound we make the whole audio for the |
| 445s | next game will be based on that one |
| 446s | don't really do whatever I would be we |
| 449s | should just put this sound somewhere in |
| 451s | the game just like for a nuance or |
| 454s | something that just comes looming at |
| 461s | yeah we should we should pitch that to |
| 463s | design this is the sound make a monster |
| 465s | out of that yeah I will be okay yeah we |
| 470s | wanted to describe the world and so if |
| 472s | you go to the next slide I think it gets |
| 474s | more clear so we draw basically from |
| 477s | three sources we have the decay moment |
| 479s | which is all the rotten all the stinky |
| 481s | all the swamp elements where it's like |
| 484s | okay things things got clearly wrong |
| 486s | here you know then we have the realism |
| 489s | part which is obviously you know every |
| 491s | garden everything is like really it's a |
| 493s | Winchester it's you know draws from the |
| 495s | real world also the day I cast in the |
| 498s | end as well has some real elements to |
| 500s | that but it's then twisted and then we |
| 502s | have the supernatural which stands for |
| 504s | let's say dark sides |
| 506s | everything which is you know the |
| 507s | banishing and around yeah it rounded |
| 510s | let's say mystical part of the game |
| 511s | there now I'm curious because I mean I'm |
| 513s | just gonna ask some questions in between |
| 515s | for example with sounds of like the guns |
| 518s | do we record the sounds of guns like off |
| 520s | the actual guns are like how did you |
| 522s | guys get all the sounds of those well if |
| 525s | we if we would record all of the sounds |
| 526s | then obviously we would spend a lot of |
| 528s | time outside and also cost a lot of |
| 530s | money yeah but actually if you record a |
| 533s | real gun and just put that one asset |
| 535s | into a game then it's not going to sound |
| 537s | like it's not going to give you that |
| 539s | real punch like if you hit something |
| 541s | it's not going to feel great so what we |
| 544s | do is we use assets from libraries that |
| 547s | are just yeah I'd say industry standard |
| 550s | and we take those assets see what works |
| 553s | we lay at them a lot so we use not just |
| 556s | one conscient income shot or what we |
| 558s | don't use the whole part of a gunshot |
| 560s | not only a transient so the first impact |
| 563s | of a gunshot and then we use something |
| 564s | from a different gunshot and lay at that |
| 567s | hole and pitch it i've known so it |
| 569s | sounds good in the end also you know we |
| 573s | make the guns sound larger than life for |
| 577s | example in some guns they might be not |
| 580s | only gun recordings in a much explosion |
| 582s | or like i think to get some texture |
| 587s | nitro or something have some explosions |
| 590s | because they're so loud at this part I'm |
| 592s | pretty sure the nice shot by itself is |
| 599s | already a lot of layers and depending on |
| 604s | the gunman there might be gunshots |
| 605s | explosions animal crowds to make it |
| 608s | sound really beacon dangerous and then |
| 610s | we export this into ice and there are |
| 613s | many different assets as well so |
| 615s | depending if you should indoor or |
| 616s | outdoor over distance or we play |
| 618s | different some files |
| 620s | okay so if we later wise maybe it sounds |
| 624s | good I guess that was it |
| 627s | I guess yeah that's that's pretty minute |
| 628s | from that side yeah so we can go to the |
| 629s | next slide so the first one we begged on |
| 632s | was the feedback so as I've already |
| 633s | mentioned like the you know the what is |
| 635s | it where is it what state is it was like |
| 637s | something we |
| 639s | we were challenged to get answered |
| 641s | pretty much all the time in the game so |
| 643s | regardless you know where you walk |
| 644s | around you want to always know what's |
| 646s | happening yeah there's an armored okay |
| 648s | on the right it's not a crow or like oh |
| 650s | the birds flew off or someone must have |
| 653s | to strip them and then work pretty well |
| 655s | so if you go to the next there's a good |
| 657s | example so that is that's the |
| 660s | first-person version I hope you can hear |
| 662s | the sound yeah that's the first-person |
| 664s | version of someone running through the |
| 667s | level and I just let you listen to them |
| 676s | it's me playing so it's a bit noobish |
| 698s | so and on the next slide we're gonna see |
| 701s | the very same scene from someone |
| 703s | standing on top of the church just |
| 705s | listening how did he get up well that's |
| 718s | the advantage of a developer you can you |
| 721s | have the f3 button makes you fly so yeah |
| 746s | I think well you all know the game so |
| 747s | that is pretty much you know the same |
| 749s | perspective like everything you hear is |
| 751s | actually has actually happened or |
| 753s | someone emitted that sound so yeah I |
| 757s | cast as something we wanna I mean to |
| 760s | jump on the new set first when we decide |
| 764s | the first part of the odd-even hunt and |
| 766s | the first ambience it the sound you hear |
| 769s | all the time we had a lot of random |
| 771s | elements happening but they were |
| 774s | actually not coming from the game world |
| 776s | itself but they were like random sounds |
| 778s | and rice and over time we started to |
| 781s | remove all of them and have every sound |
| 783s | you hear in the game actually come from |
| 786s | something in the game so what that means |
| 789s | is every AI can be actually heard quite |
| 792s | far so if you have a high standing 100 |
| 795s | meters away you will still hear her |
| 797s | scream and yeah uh brings me to the AI |
| 802s | cast so basically every AI and hunt has |
| 806s | three stages for audio idle away I'm |
| 811s | combat when it's idling it hasn't seen |
| 813s | the player for example the crumbs are |
| 817s | just breathing and I'm really quiet the |
| 820s | hive might be |
| 821s | walking around make her gagging noises |
| 823s | and sometimes she makes the loud scream |
| 826s | you hear over the distance and what that |
| 828s | helps you is you can actually navigate |
| 830s | through the map by just listening |
| 832s | because you ran through the world and |
| 834s | here all left to survive I might win |
| 836s | right |
| 837s | I go left and actually challenge her and |
| 841s | if the AI it shams too if they I cease |
| 846s | to play a chance to aware and then you |
| 849s | know or it noticed that a player is |
| 852s | around somewhere but it isn't running |
| 854s | towards you yet and as soon as it's on |
| 856s | combat it's basically attacking you and |
| 858s | you're in the fight and it was actually |
| 860s | quite challenging and we spend a lot of |
| 862s | time to get these three states really |
| 866s | separated so that you can really hear |
| 869s | okay that's Ahmad who is aware that Zama |
| 872s | was idle and now he's in combat so that |
| 875s | was quite a big task but I think it |
| 877s | turned out actually really nicely and |
| 879s | it's cool to hear people say yeah if we |
| 882s | watch streams and we hear people |
| 884s | actually walking through the game well |
| 886s | just because they hear something I |
| 889s | always get scared when I hear like the |
| 892s | meathead somewhere did a butchers world |
| 895s | like something like that butcher is here |
| 897s | oh wait no yeah butcher steps is faster |
| 901s | because it's running yeah but they'd |
| 903s | work really well also with the with the |
| 905s | transition there's also a fairness thing |
| 906s | to the player so of course and every a i |
| 909s | will first like admit a sound and then |
| 911s | attack right so you have this like oh so |
| 914s | even if you run backwards you you would |
| 916s | have this one second to react then a |
| 918s | grunt omits first like hey I've seen you |
| 920s | and then he comes towards you that's |
| 921s | also fair I guess mm-hmm right and of |
| 925s | course pain and death there's something |
| 926s | just a game meet so everything you know |
| 928s | if you take a few deal damage etc that |
| 930s | of course is to be covered I am one more |
| 932s | thing that that's also actually quite |
| 934s | important as every AI and hunt is |
| 937s | designed to sound quite different from |
| 940s | each other because you know it's quite |
| 943s | easy to make ten monsters and have them |
| 944s | sound all the same yeah but to have like |
| 947s | a really iconic sound for each creature |
| 949s | that you hear and then you know oh |
| 951s | that's too high that's the |
| 952s | that was actually also quite a task |
| 955s | until we had like sounds without a lot |
| 958s | of muted and the leader sounds a lot of |
| 961s | you say which one did the longest maybe |
| 967s | a Christian was not here today he did |
| 969s | the crumbs and I think the crumbs took a |
| 971s | long time yeah because they were one of |
| 974s | the first a iesson I made and I think |
| 979s | first we had to grunts made mostly with |
| 981s | human voices and later we decided to |
| 987s | teach up animal sounds and fight animal |
| 990s | sounds that sound like human voices wind |
| 992s | up pitched up so you might show what |
| 995s | Adam will sound like humans but pitched |
| 996s | up maybe you'll find the tiger and if |
| 1001s | you play Douglas fast it will sound like |
| 1003s | you like and that makes them sound |
| 1007s | interesting because they sound like |
| 1009s | humans but they actually are animals I |
| 1012s | mean I'm sure there's some humans that |
| 1014s | act like animals too then also we had a |
| 1018s | grand army planned because we knew there |
| 1020s | were variations in the beginning we had |
| 1021s | a lot more different grunts in the same |
| 1024s | leek and then in the end they just got |
| 1025s | more chopped together so we use the best |
| 1027s | of all the different variations we had |
| 1030s | to create the the one grunt set we have |
| 1032s | right now and obviously the female ones |
| 1034s | are more similar but they just you know |
| 1037s | overall pitched up into the to represent |
| 1040s | the more female boys region I guess it |
| 1043s | shows very well at the same thing we did |
| 1045s | to the hunter voices that we have a |
| 1048s | different sounding set for the female |
| 1050s | ones in the male ones but they still are |
| 1052s | supposed to well communicate exactly the |
| 1054s | same thing yeah sorta same like that |
| 1059s | balls in search like that oh yeah okay I |
| 1063s | think we can go dudes next I think I |
| 1066s | think it's just another example of life |
| 1067s | escalation so we can just listen to in |
| 1069s | there you can clearly tell how she egg |
| 1071s | rose and the egg rolls as well |
| 1073s | I don't think all good she's just |
| 1082s | hanging in there no yeah no you bet it |
| 1090s | takes it run for all right well same |
| 1125s | same applies to the sound traps I think |
| 1127s | you're all aware of well the what was it |
| 1129s | the loudest stick in the world in |
| 1134s | fairness we tuned it down and not doing |
| 1136s | the final mix now so we know it just |
| 1137s | says like okay is it maybe a little bit |
| 1139s | over the top if you'd like you know I |
| 1140s | have a whole tree lock being broken just |
| 1143s | yes stepping on it well it is a crunchy |
| 1145s | boy but they pretty much work the same |
| 1149s | way so the alarm cages that if you go |
| 1151s | for that's an example of the docks I |
| 1153s | think you're all experienced it just |
| 1155s | play that one and it's pretty clear that |
| 1158s | you have different stages there as well |
| 1159s | and they escalate clearly that you |
| 1161s | understand okay I'm you know now the |
| 1162s | idling is to get close sake starting to |
| 1165s | get aggro and then you still have the |
| 1167s | chance to back off but if you can |
| 1168s | consistently go forward or disturb them |
| 1170s | further they go aggro |
| 1200s | right I remember the docks taking quite |
| 1202s | some time as well - oh yeah I can |
| 1205s | imagine else we compared to that how |
| 1207s | haunts is very different because they're |
| 1208s | both there was a problem because we had |
| 1210s | hellhounds and dogs and it was like you |
| 1213s | have to make a difference between those |
| 1214s | two clearly then you don't get mistaken |
| 1217s | or you know control the wrong conclusion |
| 1219s | and also they always sounded still too |
| 1223s | happy in alive |
| 1233s | that's your example but the guns here |
| 1236s | the gun stuff we already talked about it |
| 1240s | well I talked about it too good but |
| 1242s | layer design is basically what I |
| 1244s | mentioned that each sound it's not only |
| 1246s | one shot it's many different sounds |
| 1248s | layered on top of each other that then |
| 1250s | get went down to 1 SOT again and then we |
| 1253s | have variations as they come close is |
| 1255s | the campus and it's become indoors thick |
| 1257s | and Ottawa I mean you guys will notice |
| 1260s | when you shoot out over you will have |
| 1261s | this nice long tail and that's actually |
| 1264s | been a category of a different tale set |
| 1268s | with a sign and when you go indoor |
| 1270s | you'll have another reverb and exterior |
| 1272s | tail fades so it's a lot of switching |
| 1276s | and modulating of sounds that a gun |
| 1280s | always sounds like the right environment |
| 1282s | and of course the importance was ready |
| 1285s | to to group things together so of course |
| 1288s | people with more hours in to hunt |
| 1290s | probably notice every gun and the 3d |
| 1292s | preview thing we added to the menu now |
| 1294s | of course let you experience that by |
| 1296s | scrolling away and listening to the guns |
| 1297s | and various distances but the goal was |
| 1300s | always to say okay at least the |
| 1302s | categories like rifle shotgun pistol |
| 1304s | equipment tools we want to at least even |
| 1307s | over distance make clear that was a |
| 1308s | rifle that was a shotgun because |
| 1310s | is all information you want to draw from |
| 1312s | your opponent's right you want to know |
| 1313s | like oh I heard a nitro I think that's a |
| 1315s | Winchester so you want to have an idea |
| 1317s | about the equipment they're using and of |
| 1318s | course that I think that worked pretty |
| 1321s | well so you can you can distinct that |
| 1323s | quite well I think the next two videos |
| 1325s | one is about you approaching a compound |
| 1328s | of two people fighting and then the |
| 1330s | second example is about the indoor and |
| 1332s | outdoor stuff mm-hmm |
| 1333s | anything to add here yeah one thing |
| 1335s | we're coming to large tales I mean if |
| 1338s | you shoot some guns the tails actually |
| 1340s | quiet long and they last for quite some |
| 1342s | time but we did it on purpose because |
| 1345s | every gun you shoot somewhere on the map |
| 1347s | you hear about a whole map and we wanted |
| 1350s | to communicate to the players that if |
| 1352s | they shoot they make a lot of noise and |
| 1354s | everybody you will so there's a |
| 1358s | consequence well unless crossbows and |
| 1361s | silencers of those are made especially |
| 1366s | it just hit the next one I think it |
| 1368s | shows a good example of approaching as |
| 1374s | you can see these recordings who had |
| 1376s | done a little bit some time last year as |
| 1379s | we did some presentations no don't give |
| 1382s | me way just make this especially partner |
| 1388s | [Applause] |
| 1404s | yeah and the next one is about this is |
| 1406s | indoor and outdoor differences i-i'm |
| 1439s | urgent so there was the second part of |
| 1441s | our little triangle there and it was |
| 1444s | just as I said transporting you in the |
| 1446s | world it has to be well the late 18th |
| 1448s | century Victorian era so yeah we want to |
| 1453s | be correct and that goes to the region |
| 1455s | region because the swamp of Louisiana |
| 1456s | has some interesting |
| 1458s | well special elements and the ambience |
| 1460s | etc I wanted to - of course yeah make |
| 1464s | real as well and of course we wanted to |
| 1467s | a little bit have you know support the |
| 1469s | narrative because of course something |
| 1471s | terrible happened so what you know |
| 1472s | what's going on why all these zombies |
| 1474s | come from where are those but what is |
| 1476s | the armor it so what does the butcher |
| 1478s | being original so we wanted to support |
| 1481s | that pillar a bit without well without |
| 1483s | actually telling a story and let's say |
| 1485s | the narration saying like Oh once upon a |
| 1487s | time so we we were trying to do that a |
| 1490s | bit so if you hit the video maybe maybe |
| 1492s | that is explains it better so if you |
| 1496s | just sit still then you you hear the |
| 1498s | surroundings and all fields natural but |
| 1500s | of course it's broken up by those weird |
| 1503s | animals and yeah so it almost sounds |
| 1509s | like you want to you know take your |
| 1510s | vacation there but like a very cheap |
| 1516s | hotel you booked it's like one just an |
| 1520s | episode just like our TV programs like |
| 1523s | AHA vacation of Hell or so and so what |
| 1527s | do you see here is like debug mode on so |
| 1529s | it's just showing again the sounds and |
| 1533s | where they all come from in a you know |
| 1534s | around you so it's all again proof set |
| 1537s | it's all built from individual sources |
| 1539s | what you hear all right and the emotion |
| 1544s | part is as I said it's like really we |
| 1547s | wanna you know well keep keep you on the |
| 1550s | toes you know be be excited when you say |
| 1554s | soon as we hit the mission you kind of |
| 1555s | you kind of you know totally hyped and |
| 1557s | focused and well we basically trying to |
| 1562s | do have like this high contrast so it's |
| 1563s | like you know the beautiful environment |
| 1565s | and the and the weird Apple open it |
| 1568s | abominations and and creatures and of |
| 1571s | course we also playing with some psycho |
| 1572s | acoustic elements as well like for |
| 1574s | example the rumble which now has caused |
| 1576s | some trouble because some people never |
| 1578s | heard it before it's massively lowered |
| 1581s | now so it's really in the subconscious |
| 1583s | level I don't think you will notice it |
| 1586s | and until you have a very good headphone |
| 1588s | and very carefully listened to nothing |
| 1591s | else is happening but yeah we're playing |
| 1593s | with those elements as well to just give |
| 1595s | you a little bit that shiver down your |
| 1597s | spine and and yeah you can keep you on |
| 1599s | your toes it's like it has to be an |
| 1601s | exciting match and and you yeah you |
| 1605s | don't want to feel safe right it's |
| 1606s | always like maybe there's something |
| 1608s | around the corner but I mean even those |
| 1610s | sounds are coming from the world itself |
| 1612s | so yes the the rumble the compound |
| 1614s | Rumble you only have four especially |
| 1616s | four points of interest I think if the |
| 1618s | clue and the compound is taking the |
| 1620s | rumble also is there a rule to it the |
| 1624s | rumble is fading it's getting quite any |
| 1627s | way over time so the idea for the rumble |
| 1629s | was you enter the compound and you will |
| 1631s | have to slow rambling |
| 1632s | to create some tension and if you are in |
| 1634s | it for a while it will get finalized but |
| 1637s | yes from feedback from the server we |
| 1640s | adjusted it accordingly yeah and also |
| 1642s | the play style you know like we we had |
| 1644s | we didn't anticipate that players are |
| 1646s | like so so much pushing so you go in and |
| 1648s | out of a compound much faster than we |
| 1651s | originally thought of and therefore we |
| 1653s | we accepted that okay but we thought it |
| 1655s | would bring to the game might be really |
| 1657s | in the way and that's why we lowered it |
| 1659s | now to to I think to a level where it's |
| 1661s | it's yet super unconscious like it will |
| 1666s | give you bad dreams but nothing else but |
| 1669s | it's actually good to mention because |
| 1670s | you guys say you take feedback obviously |
| 1672s | because for a lot of things changes that |
| 1675s | we have in the game which seems maybe |
| 1677s | more obvious like weapon changers itself |
| 1680s | we do change a lot based on community |
| 1682s | feedback for the audio sure I mean in |
| 1684s | the past we have changed things to are |
| 1687s | the sound for like when we would throw |
| 1690s | like explosives or footsteps there are |
| 1695s | definitely things that you usually like |
| 1696s | addressed I've done spaced on the |
| 1701s | community feedback maybe you can tell a |
| 1703s | little bit about that I know free hat |
| 1704s | that didn't precision it is it is coming |
| 1707s | later anyway so but I can already I |
| 1710s | wanna say like I said I have a reminder |
| 1711s | which is a weekly one where just go |
| 1713s | through steam discord read it so I just |
| 1717s | you know we all browse constantly like |
| 1719s | the forums and check for feedback and |
| 1722s | sometimes there's you know pellets |
| 1724s | things on it or things where we say |
| 1725s | actually to consider sometimes there's |
| 1728s | really good ideas out there where it's |
| 1730s | like I would love to do that but was the |
| 1732s | best one yeah it was I think was like so |
| 1735s | based on time of day and the temperature |
| 1737s | shouldn't then sound travel differently |
| 1740s | anywhere like mmm now would be really |
| 1743s | really cool but it just means you we |
| 1745s | have a mix per time of day you have |
| 1747s | different behavior of the sound maybe |
| 1749s | for a future project it is it is getting |
| 1751s | super complicated very quickly and I |
| 1754s | don't think you gonna most people don't |
| 1756s | gonna realize it anyway so nice idea |
| 1759s | maybe |
| 1761s | right so if you just say go to the next |
| 1763s | one and I think this one gets more clear |
| 1765s | so that the emotion part we really |
| 1766s | achieve to the very high dynamic mix |
| 1768s | that's also one thing we really started |
| 1771s | in from the beginning we said we want to |
| 1773s | really have a high dynamic mix so like |
| 1775s | if the gun goes off BAM it's real loud |
| 1777s | so once you hear that you you know that |
| 1781s | so the importance is that you have to |
| 1783s | understand how loud you are and how far |
| 1785s | your sounds travel so dynamic mix was |
| 1787s | one idea to do that so those things I |
| 1789s | actually loud and quiet stuff stays |
| 1791s | quiet |
| 1792s | the motivational menu music so yeah some |
| 1795s | people I know that streamers for example |
| 1798s | always have music muted too bad I'm |
| 1806s | setting furnace away cuz I think this is |
| 1808s | just gonna get worse and worse than that |
| 1810s | one point it's gonna explode and a half |
| 1811s | three meter but it will be good sound if |
| 1816s | it explodes on the menu music is |
| 1820s | something we really love to do kinda you |
| 1822s | know why the game has no music right so |
| 1824s | while you in the mission there's nothing |
| 1826s | and once you come back to the to the |
| 1828s | menu we thought okay we have to add more |
| 1829s | songs and different stuff so you feel a |
| 1831s | little bit like yeah now get a little |
| 1832s | you know it's like a take a break we |
| 1835s | fill and then kind of relax and then go |
| 1839s | into the next mission and those musical |
| 1841s | elements that's the rumbles over that's |
| 1843s | the subconscious ideas that we use |
| 1845s | psycho acoustic elements - we have to - |
| 1848s | you know trigger an emotion and then the |
| 1851s | whole dark world is pretty much only |
| 1853s | that so as you noticed like in the dark |
| 1855s | side the mix changes everything is like |
| 1857s | in a yeah it's like in a horror movie in |
| 1859s | it's like in a dream yeah everything's a |
| 1862s | creeper and you you know this other |
| 1864s | world yes that's what we try in with |
| 1866s | that I'm you're technically in a sense |
| 1868s | also in another world in beingness you |
| 1871s | see in the ethereal plane yeah yes just |
| 1875s | an icon please oh yeah that's that's |
| 1879s | just an example of again like the mix I |
| 1880s | think you all know the game but I think |
| 1882s | you're here pretty well like how quiet |
| 1884s | the game actually is and then once it |
| 1886s | escalates and you know things happening |
| 1888s | then it can get quite loud and exciting |
| 1893s | I think |
| 1895s | overwhelming maybe not because that's |
| 1897s | what but that's what most of my game at |
| 1899s | least is like sneaking around and |
| 1900s | listening if I hear two hunters I turn |
| 1903s | around and run because it's usually |
| 1906s | Dennis with a nitro |
| 1940s | right and Lassen at least yeah community |
| 1943s | feedback what is that like yeah that |
| 1944s | that's the three key I don't know what |
| 1947s | the believability is a word actually but |
| 1949s | I don't know the idea was step so there |
| 1952s | are three things we are really mostly |
| 1954s | interested in it's like the credibility |
| 1956s | that goes on the feedback level like |
| 1958s | that's what we anticipated like okay can |
| 1961s | you really tell that the grunt is an |
| 1962s | aggro mode in in the house of the right |
| 1965s | that is readability if you say yeah we |
| 1967s | we can hear that and we've done a good |
| 1969s | job then consistency means like oh that |
| 1974s | gun over distance sounds way louder than |
| 1976s | the other gun over distance then it's |
| 1978s | maybe something we've missed or |
| 1980s | overheard and like Oh true yeah that is |
| 1982s | you know same rifle class over distance |
| 1984s | should kind of be in the same league |
| 1986s | that's that's all this mixing |
| 1988s | consistency that things obviously |
| 1990s | behave as they supposed to right it's |
| 1992s | like for example we had I think we spies |
| 1995s | like the bullets flying around was like |
| 1998s | very very far audible was that laser |
| 2000s | bullets or something yeah almost yeah |
| 2003s | and then like for example if you smashed |
| 2007s | the window that felt like not being |
| 2009s | audible for too long right so it's like |
| 2012s | after 30 meters it was like I can't hear |
| 2014s | it anymore so we we really went in and |
| 2015s | adjusted those metrics to to match |
| 2019s | expectation and to fit and believability |
| 2022s | is everything with the with the |
| 2024s | immersion part as well and it's like |
| 2026s | okay this is this world it is hun |
| 2027s | showdown it is this this world we wanna |
| 2030s | yeah we want to get get to you and of |
| 2033s | course making sound as hunt showed up I |
| 2035s | think a good example for the |
| 2037s | believability would be if you drop an |
| 2039s | excellent hammer before the last update |
| 2041s | oh yeah and it sounded like it like a |
| 2044s | car dropping to the floor from 20 meters |
| 2046s | and now we actually changed assets yes |
| 2050s | is something that just fits the whole |
| 2052s | item right and the good thing is that |
| 2054s | that will go on so of course we |
| 2056s | we listen to you to what you're saying |
| 2058s | and and also play the game ourselves so |
| 2060s | we might come across things were like oh |
| 2062s | that has to be adjusted but yeah and |
| 2065s | it's I think we've got about 20,000 |
| 2067s | sounds in the game I guess and that is |
| 2069s | grouped into various you know containers |
| 2072s | and it's super technical but very |
| 2074s | interesting |
| 2074s | so obviously it's just a lot of stuff we |
| 2076s | have to take care of or yeah and have to |
| 2078s | maintain so stay with us and be patient |
| 2084s | and yes deaths |
| 2086s | male death sounds gonna stay but we |
| 2088s | already adjusted them for the next |
| 2090s | update so they less call me : yeah |
| 2094s | alright I think that's pretty much it I |
| 2097s | think the next three slides are |
| 2098s | advertisement oh yeah |
| 2100s | so forum please voice your opinion or |
| 2103s | you know chime in to one of the threats |
| 2104s | if you if you have a comment and I mean |
| 2107s | obviously it could be read it can be |
| 2109s | steam it can be discord it can be any of |
| 2111s | our feedback |
| 2113s | channels or even social media it's all |
| 2116s | it's all wherever you prefer mmm got |
| 2119s | everything so yes you can follow us here |
| 2122s | well we can go to to be right back |
| 2125s | screen for a little bit yes because we |
| 2127s | have to jump over Jonas has to prepare |
| 2130s | yes - perfect okay see you guys with a |
| 2133s | little bit |
| 2136s | a'right |
| 2144s | [Music] |
| 2163s | [Music] |
| 2170s | [Music] |
| 2178s | [Music] |
| 2190s | thanks what is the other one that all |
| 2193s | the other ones long no you guys can hear |
| 2195s | it |
| 2198s | [Music] |
| 2205s | [Music] |
| 2212s | we chopped off okay all right we're back |
| 2216s | and what we have here is actually our |
| 2221s | audio middleware it's called wires and |
| 2223s | that's the place where after we have to |
| 2226s | sign to sounds |
| 2227s | everything is implemented so everything |
| 2229s | in the game lives around here so if you |
| 2233s | look here we have all the characters |
| 2235s | then if I just open one character you |
| 2238s | see it is quiet it actually take some |
| 2242s | time to open because of all the data so |
| 2248s | that that's just sound you see now for |
| 2251s | the grunt so all the stuff it's it's |
| 2256s | everything here it's a single sound that |
| 2259s | was designed for the grant that gets put |
| 2261s | in the game and that you hear afterwards |
| 2264s | so you can see it's a lot of audio |
| 2267s | designed just for one single AI because |
| 2273s | why |
| 2274s | for example in the grunt way I'm general |
| 2276s | for every material making yeah it's one |
| 2286s | we have how many materials do we have in |
| 2289s | the game it's a quote audio 30 2013 |
| 2292s | materials in every every material then |
| 2297s | has variations for the steps you see and |
| 2299s | that's like for every character so you |
| 2301s | have special steps for the hunters for |
| 2304s | ya for first player first person to a |
| 2307s | person you have them for the crumbs for |
| 2309s | the hellhounds for the meat and omelets |
| 2311s | and and they all have to sound different |
| 2312s | because I mean obviously meat it is a |
| 2315s | lot heavier than a grunt |
| 2317s | so you just yeah you have to make them |
| 2320s | sound as if they're that have you and |
| 2323s | maybe another interesting thing to show |
| 2325s | you because we talked about it before |
| 2328s | the rival so dead stuff you see here is |
| 2332s | actually the setup for the player |
| 2335s | shooting sound let's see if you can hear |
| 2337s | the fire |
| 2338s | yeah yeah it should play nice view so |
| 2344s | let's quickly see if your exterior now |
| 2348s | we should and quality is a different |
| 2357s | asset so for example back here we are |
| 2360s | having the tail and you hear it's |
| 2364s | basically the environmental tail of the |
| 2367s | sound we have to treat the transience of |
| 2370s | the gun and if everything plays combined |
| 2375s | all these different assets you will have |
| 2377s | to actual shot can we show the distance |
| 2380s | to the enemy player yeah so if we are in |
| 2389s | third person and we shoot the gun so |
| 2393s | that's if the player shoots directly |
| 2395s | next to you basically 9 meters and |
| 2401s | that's how it sounds when it's far away |
| 2404s | and you see here here we actually have |
| 2409s | the distance right now it's 150 meters |
| 2411s | and basically what we do we go through |
| 2414s | each distance and make sure that will |
| 2416s | sound sound sounds good |
| 2418s | in that case and yes super yeah I think |
| 2422s | I saw a question earlier on somebody |
| 2424s | asking if the audio is actually delayed |
| 2426s | on distance like I mean you have gunshot |
| 2430s | on 300 meters it should be delayed like |
| 2433s | one second and we actually do that with |
| 2436s | the same attenuations um not by a |
| 2440s | realistic time I think but we actually |
| 2442s | delay them by a few milliseconds so that |
| 2446s | you have to sound the actual sound of |
| 2448s | the gunshot and you have the slap X |
| 2450s | coming from the side so it really sounds |
| 2452s | like the gunshot that's coming from the |
| 2453s | front or from the side and then you |
| 2455s | Echo's around you know see one question |
| 2460s | how does the audio positioning stuff |
| 2462s | work basically the audio in the game |
| 2465s | emits from a point and we have the |
| 2468s | distance from this point to you the |
| 2470s | listener or the player and basically |
| 2472s | that's the distance that we can simulate |
| 2474s | here and so if you shoot 500 meters away |
| 2478s | you will have this if you get closer you |
| 2482s | get this so we set up everything and |
| 2485s | wise and decide the weapon so it sounds |
| 2488s | good in every distance and then the game |
| 2490s | basically communicates us where the |
| 2492s | sound is happening and I mean that's the |
| 2495s | distance part and for the positional |
| 2497s | part we have a special plugin that's |
| 2499s | called cry spatial which actually takes |
| 2502s | the in-game position and maps that to a |
| 2506s | circle around you and we use the as mood |
| 2508s | for that so it's just a 360 degrees |
| 2511s | around you um and if we go into one of |
| 2515s | the audio assets you might see that they |
| 2518s | are actually if we if we see the asset |
| 2520s | yeah so you see there are 1 channel |
| 2522s | files but if you play them you have |
| 2524s | actually two channels that are playing |
| 2525s | so the files themself or the the whole |
| 2530s | sound if you play it is just a mono |
| 2533s | sound that wouldn't even sound like it's |
| 2535s | coming for somewhere and after it goes |
| 2537s | through that plugin um there's a stereo |
| 2539s | sound coming out and plugin just does |
| 2541s | all the stuff with how should it sound |
| 2543s | on the left ear I'll turn off the right |
| 2545s | ear it's a behind you in front of you |
| 2547s | like all that stuff and one other thing |
| 2551s | we can show you you know in wires we |
| 2554s | have to design sound so we have these |
| 2558s | assets but what is also interesting is |
| 2561s | how do we actually make these assets and |
| 2564s | I have like a video capture here from |
| 2567s | the spider |
| 2570s | so this is for example to scream and |
| 2574s | that's in the Nuendo session with all |
| 2576s | the sounds I think yes will expand at |
| 2578s | you and this is the screen power using |
| 2582s | lots of different layers from from |
| 2586s | creatures from enemies to create the |
| 2590s | final audio game yes |
| 2594s | so I think what has despite its its |
| 2597s | Peaks |
| 2597s | it's the stamina which was like an older |
| 2600s | version of the spider which are you |
| 2603s | pitched just appears a donkey I think |
| 2605s | there's some metal squeaking undershirts |
| 2611s | everything everything together gives |
| 2615s | gives the spider sound you know what's |
| 2620s | also interesting so that that's also |
| 2631s | Tiger to me but here we have a really |
| 2634s | good for the clicking it makes so I mean |
| 2643s | you all know despite our faint clicking |
| 2644s | sounds when it's when it's just this |
| 2646s | weird clicking noises and and sounds we |
| 2651s | use to make these I actually quite |
| 2653s | interesting and you can see yeah one one |
| 2656s | sound is actually a lawn sprinkler it's |
| 2659s | like to think that's yeah what's more |
| 2663s | putting water on the grass I know you |
| 2665s | have in your car it makes there we have |
| 2671s | a thumb screw which actually sounds |
| 2673s | quite quite famous yeah and we have some |
| 2679s | strong man that's actually the main |
| 2681s | sound and it's like do this clicking and |
| 2685s | that's actually crickets |
| 2687s | it's like insect insect recordings of |
| 2691s | crickets and I think I pitched them up |
| 2693s | and what you later time a bit and then |
| 2696s | you get this |
| 2698s | yeah you get this the sound and if if if |
| 2703s | give it place in the actual compound if |
| 2705s | we were you know - spiders hiding around |
| 2707s | behind the corner and you hear to click |
| 2710s | with with the reverb of the actual |
| 2713s | environmentalism it's pretty spooky and |
| 2716s | the funny thing to you is it sounds like |
| 2718s | it sounds like the spider but it's |
| 2720s | actually crickets in a low on screen |
| 2722s | closer yeah it's basically the same but |
| 2729s | I think that's the most it's the most |
| 2732s | iconic sleeping sound and it's basically |
| 2735s | the same as its Mont Winkler and here we |
| 2738s | have the crickets we have chopped up and |
| 2744s | I mean like this we basically assign |
| 2746s | every sound so all the things you hear |
| 2749s | in the game may be sources you wouldn't |
| 2753s | think of but in the end they they sound |
| 2755s | like a spider or a high F or M word it's |
| 2762s | insane if you think about how do you |
| 2764s | even come up to use a sprinkler it's a |
| 2769s | lot of experimenting so we have we have |
| 2772s | a big sound library we have a lot of |
| 2773s | recordings we make ourselves and then |
| 2777s | you just go through and then you listen |
| 2779s | to stuff and here oh maybe this could be |
| 2782s | a clicking sound |
| 2783s | another example is the high of call the |
| 2787s | distant one she makes this actually |
| 2788s | firework yeah Christian Schuster like |
| 2792s | them it's like you know yes it's when a |
| 2798s | rocket launches but it's it's pitched up |
| 2801s | and down so it actually sounds like like |
| 2804s | a voice modulating around mm-hmm yes |
| 2807s | would put a lot of lot of funny sounds |
| 2809s | there are times where you for example |
| 2814s | walk outside and you hear sound a you |
| 2816s | think hey something like that could be |
| 2819s | helpful for or is it just mainly from |
| 2821s | the library just stick free |
| 2824s | you always lie if you do this for a |
| 2827s | while you will always hear stuff so you |
| 2829s | hear this thing and then you think oh |
| 2832s | maybe just could be used for something |
| 2834s | else for example in the office upstairs |
| 2837s | we had was really wiki's over the couch |
| 2840s | and it's it kind of made some really |
| 2843s | interesting interesting clicking noises |
| 2845s | so we did a recording session with wood |
| 2847s | we haven't put it in the game yet but it |
| 2850s | might end up the clues for example in |
| 2863s | quick play they have the whispery |
| 2866s | background and that's just there |
| 2868s | especially me whispering in a microphone |
| 2870s | for like 20 minutes |
| 2881s | I think we could go to the questions |
| 2882s | okay then we'll be right back again |
| 2898s | [Music] |
| 2917s | [Music] |
| 2924s | [Music] |
| 2932s | [Music] |
| 2952s | [Music] |
| 2960s | [Music] |
| 2966s | you |
| 2966s | [Music] |
| 2976s | No |
| 2978s | Oh |
| 2985s | there you go yep did you do it for the |
| 2987s | couch one yeah number four only because |
| 2990s | yeah oh okay we are back and we have |
| 2994s | some questions so I already saw two |
| 2996s | questions that I popped up where you |
| 2999s | guys for showing some stuff up so I |
| 3000s | thought uh we can perhaps you know |
| 3003s | Anthony's do you recommend the stereo |
| 3006s | setup or surround oh I put it on the |
| 3008s | right because it's easy to reach kiss |
| 3009s | close if I put it back afterwards bi do |
| 3014s | you recommend the series setup first |
| 3015s | around set ups so let's let's start |
| 3018s | there so basically the game has been |
| 3020s | mixed in 7.1 so what someone was saying |
| 3023s | seven one is poop really and something |
| 3025s | wrong with your setup because we mix it |
| 3028s | in seven one it is working fine even |
| 3030s | with this H dot EF Christ facial plugin |
| 3032s | that adapts to whatever setting you have |
| 3034s | what we do recommend though is like |
| 3037s | don't touch your additional |
| 3039s | spatialization stuff like windows has a |
| 3042s | spatial sounds thing now some headphones |
| 3045s | come with this you know make seven one |
| 3047s | out of stereo this is all |
| 3049s | post-processing you can compare that |
| 3051s | with I don't know like a gamma tool |
| 3053s | which suddenly brightens your screen |
| 3055s | alright turning a video from like low |
| 3058s | quality right exactly that's just an |
| 3060s | overlay being processed on top because |
| 3062s | what our plugin does it takes the |
| 3063s | position from the game so between you |
| 3066s | and the position of the sound and uses |
| 3068s | that information from the game already |
| 3070s | to mimic how we how we hear instead |
| 3073s | right now how the human ear functions so |
| 3076s | if you're on top process like something |
| 3078s | in the post-processing on it it might |
| 3080s | sound a bit weird and I think that won't |
| 3083s | work anymore well go Graham I how it |
| 3084s | falls flat so so we that's why we say in |
| 3087s | the beginning and this is disclaimer |
| 3088s | best plate in stereo with a headphone |
| 3092s | because this is where it works best in |
| 3094s | our opinion because then cry spatial |
| 3097s | also uses all the filtering to make the |
| 3100s | sound different base with its front back |
| 3103s | left right and it's for the photo 7.1 |
| 3106s | headset so yes you might um because if |
| 3109s | you if you use that virtual surround |
| 3110s | sound and but what your headset does or |
| 3114s | what Windows sound or Toby's surround |
| 3117s | what all these virtualizes do is |
| 3119s | basically they try to to tell the game |
| 3123s | or tell the application that you use |
| 3124s | that you actually have a 7.1 set up and |
| 3127s | if the game then sends like seven |
| 3131s | separate channels then your |
| 3133s | virtualization software can again |
| 3135s | simulate this binaural audio and it will |
| 3139s | do the same that cry specialist doing at |
| 3141s | the moment but if you try to do that on |
| 3143s | top of cry special then it basically |
| 3145s | destroys all the filtering this cry |
| 3147s | special did and you can't really tell |
| 3149s | where anything is coming from so if you |
| 3150s | have headphones which we highly |
| 3152s | recommend then just set them to stereo |
| 3155s | just use them just just use normal |
| 3157s | stereo headphones and you will probably |
| 3159s | have the best outcome and if you have a |
| 3161s | 5.1 or 7.1 set up then sure cry special |
| 3164s | can do that too actually you won't have |
| 3167s | be no realization because you don't have |
| 3169s | two channels anymore but the audio will |
| 3172s | just be mapped to the channels around |
| 3173s | you so yeah well you can you can use |
| 3177s | that with other programs all this |
| 3178s | visualization virtualization but hunt |
| 3182s | already has its own speaking of can tell |
| 3185s | where things are coming from my server |
| 3186s | up at one time I was playing and I |
| 3188s | usually have earbuds and had them |
| 3190s | reversed |
| 3196s | nothing there I'm hear them the other |
| 3198s | side I swear yeah did you record any |
| 3206s | sound or audio and by narrowness it made |
| 3208s | proneural through the plugin oh it's all |
| 3210s | it's all the all the least so all the |
| 3212s | plugins doing all that so the sounds are |
| 3215s | mostly mono so just one channel and then |
| 3217s | they gain getting mapped in the world |
| 3219s | and then spread accordingly yeah yeah I |
| 3221s | guess it wouldn't wouldn't really make |
| 3222s | sense to record anything in binaural I |
| 3224s | mean for movies for example it makes it |
| 3227s | a lot of sense because you can exactly |
| 3229s | control how the viewer or how the |
| 3231s | listener is actually or what he is |
| 3233s | listening to because in a movie you see |
| 3235s | a car coming from the right side going |
| 3236s | to the left side if you record that and |
| 3237s | binaural then it's perfect and you have |
| 3240s | exactly the sound for the picture you |
| 3242s | see but in the game we can't record |
| 3244s | binaural sound |
| 3246s | for each position that for example a |
| 3248s | grunt or footstep can have in the space |
| 3250s | that would be like 360 assets basically |
| 3255s | means how to sound is filtered based on |
| 3258s | the position of your head right and you |
| 3261s | as the player you move the head of your |
| 3262s | character all the time so we can't |
| 3264s | predict the sign sounds for that so this |
| 3267s | has to happen in real time in real time |
| 3269s | so that that's why it's actually plugin |
| 3272s | I saw one more person asking about 71 so |
| 3277s | if it works on same ones because and yes |
| 3280s | with 1.0 to update we mixed it on a 7.1 |
| 3284s | setup so it definitely works on 7.1 you |
| 3287s | just have to make sure that if you have |
| 3289s | a 7.1 system your windows output is set |
| 3293s | to 7.1 and if you have just checked and |
| 3296s | you can check in the windows |
| 3297s | configuration mr. White's out and then |
| 3301s | you start hunt it will play awesome |
| 3307s | I also saw someone asked will there be |
| 3309s | new sounds or changes coming womp I know |
| 3311s | I mean if you play them des you probably |
| 3313s | would have heard already quite some new |
| 3315s | sounds and quite some changes I mean |
| 3318s | obviously we have some hunters which is |
| 3320s | already a lot of new sounds |
| 3322s | but yeah the whole mix like so when we |
| 3327s | were mixing me basically touching while |
| 3329s | we saw it in the in the wise project we |
| 3331s | basically went really through all the |
| 3332s | sounds and touching everything again |
| 3334s | making sure the metrics are fine that |
| 3336s | the your things are audible long enough |
| 3338s | then that yeah that caused some changes |
| 3341s | like for example the footsteps where all |
| 3342s | what worked a bit too you know to find a |
| 3345s | better middle ground between audibility |
| 3347s | if you sprint and then sneaking is even |
| 3350s | further quiet so it's more of a |
| 3352s | trade-off either I'm fast but then I'm |
| 3354s | loud versus I'm very well yeah very |
| 3357s | quiet but of course very slow I think |
| 3360s | that worked well we did a ton of |
| 3362s | adjustments on a super minor level like |
| 3365s | a DB up here and 2d beats down and it's |
| 3367s | yeah I don't even know how many changes |
| 3370s | they are looks a lot lots of bug fixes |
| 3372s | as well and bug fixes always there's |
| 3374s | always new stuff coming in also from |
| 3376s | life and |
| 3377s | we basically get on when we fix as much |
| 3379s | as possible yes I also see someone |
| 3382s | asking do you guys also work on the |
| 3384s | music well that's we can already say |
| 3391s | like yeah on the test you can already |
| 3393s | hear let's say the instrumental versions |
| 3395s | already in the menu we wanted to spice |
| 3397s | up the motivational part in the menu to |
| 3400s | have more variation in there so there is |
| 3402s | more instrumental music in there and |
| 3405s | then as someone writes music OST please |
| 3408s | yes it's on the way |
| 3409s | yeah we'll be available with Willie with |
| 3412s | the release so we are putting some |
| 3414s | response on a variety platforms I think |
| 3418s | and I can already say it's like I think |
| 3420s | Spotify the usual one biggest 150 |
| 3430s | placards yeah so the music is finally |
| 3433s | coming I notice has been asked probably |
| 3435s | for the longest time I think I see audio |
| 3438s | like but where can I find some surprises |
| 3456s | who might have watched all deaf streams |
| 3458s | and all the little details about the |
| 3460s | teasers and everything you might have |
| 3462s | heard some parts of it but obviously not |
| 3465s | not in full song length so then they |
| 3468s | have to ask how was the humming theme |
| 3470s | who was involved in like how did that |
| 3473s | came to mind everybody was involved so |
| 3476s | that the originally the idea came came |
| 3478s | back from a weekend like okay we need to |
| 3481s | do the was the steam early access |
| 3483s | trailer I think and it was like okay we |
| 3486s | got three days or so - yeah for some |
| 3488s | things I was like and then it was it was |
| 3492s | just an idea to say you know iconic |
| 3494s | videogame music always grounded in in |
| 3499s | things you can easily hum so all the |
| 3501s | 8-bit tunes is something you can you |
| 3503s | know that's why it sticks in your head |
| 3504s | because it's like a very simple melody |
| 3506s | you can actually have them so we brought |
| 3508s | it to the next level thing like hey why |
| 3510s | not humming in the first place |
| 3511s | and then the idea it created a picture |
| 3514s | because we are thinking like yeah that's |
| 3515s | just the hunters you know in the evening |
| 3517s | they been hunting the all day now they |
| 3520s | just sit at the campfire neighbors are |
| 3522s | and then and then you've got it got out |
| 3525s | of control because it went super fast |
| 3526s | that we all you know we've kept our |
| 3528s | video guys and said okay we need to stop |
| 3530s | the clap so we all stomped clapped and |
| 3532s | then everybody was in front of the mic |
| 3534s | doing home mmm in various versions and |
| 3537s | tones and then Jonas did a great job on |
| 3539s | mixing that all together in this like |
| 3541s | epic humming nests it is right now and |
| 3544s | we had a lot of fun it's out of tune |
| 3563s | yeah we were actually quite surprised |
| 3567s | and happy to see that people liked it so |
| 3569s | much and in some way based on coming |
| 3585s | because it's it's set a mood for |
| 3588s | everything and I think some sounds |
| 3591s | needed you to storm or humming in some |
| 3594s | other form that was fun |
| 3601s | I'm curious that reoccurs is it harder |
| 3604s | to make songs or is it hard to make the |
| 3606s | audio for the for example for monsters |
| 3608s | or hunters and well I guess it depends |
| 3618s | well I would say both has has the |
| 3621s | channel it's both us challenging in a |
| 3623s | different way in a different way because |
| 3624s | making a sound will Creek you know that |
| 3627s | some sort of grunt sound you just go on |
| 3628s | a mic and like this and it's like okay |
| 3631s | there you go you have your you have your |
| 3632s | grunt sound but maybe that's not very |
| 3634s | interesting or not very iconic and then |
| 3636s | you start playing around with and the |
| 3638s | same thing with music of course we can |
| 3639s | sit down and just - Tim Tim Tim Tim Tim |
| 3641s | - look |
| 3643s | Wow but I don't know whether it's music |
| 3644s | you get excited about so and then it's |
| 3647s | really this this this well working with |
| 3649s | it and then playing it for tobacco yes I |
| 3652s | think one thing that actually sometimes |
| 3655s | if if you are not that way of it |
| 3657s | what makes monster sounds and games |
| 3661s | really difficult to not only have to |
| 3664s | decide upon stuff so it sounds unique |
| 3665s | and dangerous but you then also have to |
| 3668s | make it work in the game yeah you know |
| 3671s | for example the assassin is like this |
| 3673s | Nikki pile of box but you have to hear |
| 3675s | him a hundred meters pirate for game |
| 3677s | play music oh yeah oh I just have a |
| 3682s | grunt sound good in 50 meters but also |
| 3684s | good when he's screaming right at your |
| 3686s | face actually what what I think players |
| 3689s | or what what you take for granted when |
| 3691s | you play it because you just don't think |
| 3692s | about it actually takes a lot of time to |
| 3696s | get right after you have all the design |
| 3698s | done it's a lot of iteration and coming |
| 3701s | for some bang saying okay well and or |
| 3703s | for example and similar with a few |
| 3705s | sounds for example it's it's also a |
| 3707s | tricky one because that sound react like |
| 3710s | that's very quiet sound it's like you |
| 3713s | don't hear that very far but of course |
| 3715s | from a game of a nice home game the |
| 3718s | reason everybody says like I want to |
| 3719s | hear 200 meters if someone Prime's it's |
| 3721s | like rightly so but it's very tough to |
| 3723s | find the sweet spot there between well |
| 3726s | yeah between feedback and and the |
| 3728s | emergent right okay so one thing that's |
| 3729s | really real on the other hand you want |
| 3731s | to of course hear that sound and because |
| 3734s | it's so important for gameplay reasons |
| 3735s | that you hear that someone Prime's |
| 3736s | something so yeah it's a sometimes I'd |
| 3740s | rather have I don't know not a few sound |
| 3741s | but something like a big mechanical |
| 3742s | machine like that would that would help |
| 3746s | a lot on that but yeah but that's okay |
| 3749s | that's fine and sour challenges on our |
| 3751s | daily basis it's and what was for you |
| 3753s | guys individually the most fun thing you |
| 3755s | worked on for the game so far could be |
| 3758s | anything convinced song could be a sound |
| 3760s | to be I mean if I start i iive honestiy |
| 3765s | have two things first was the spider |
| 3766s | because I just had so much fun |
| 3768s | it was the first boss I made and then I |
| 3771s | still remember when we released in the |
| 3775s | early access on Steam we had a launch |
| 3777s | party where we watch people playing on |
| 3779s | the monitor and was so funny to see |
| 3781s | people freaked out |
| 3785s | I think the spire cells is still the |
| 3786s | scariest boss for most people because |
| 3788s | it's so fast and scare isn't like a lot |
| 3790s | of people have arachnophobia sills so |
| 3792s | yeah and the other part for me really is |
| 3796s | the whole dark side stuff because I have |
| 3798s | a lot of fun - silently small magical or |
| 3801s | mysterious sounds and yeah all the clues |
| 3804s | and sound here when you go into oxide |
| 3807s | and try to find one was a lot of fun I |
| 3812s | think for me really the most fun was was |
| 3816s | indeed like you know the humming semen |
| 3817s | or the whole musical part because it was |
| 3819s | really born out of this like necessity |
| 3821s | in this very short amount of time and |
| 3823s | then suddenly it was like yeah Nicolette |
| 3826s | sing like oh yeah I can write some more |
| 3828s | lyrics and then suddenly we had a second |
| 3830s | song and a third song and it just |
| 3832s | started to fall then was like oh yeah |
| 3835s | sure yeah and then like Jonah's like AI |
| 3837s | can add some piano here that Dominic |
| 3839s | came in like oh yeah I bring my drum so |
| 3841s | it just it just was just record |
| 3843s | everything |
| 3848s | well that Kings are there yeah and of |
| 3854s | course then having and then senior |
| 3855s | colleagues sitting there like I don't |
| 3858s | know a particle artist and then once in |
| 3862s | a while he's just like no kind of oh I |
| 3865s | think we did something cool there |
| 3867s | because he doesn't even realize that yes |
| 3868s | yeah humming whistling the Lissie I |
| 3871s | think a humming theme turned out really |
| 3872s | well like I mean consider how fast you |
| 3874s | guys did it but I still see that so many |
| 3877s | times gone by like people are just |
| 3879s | talking about it or like humming it like |
| 3881s | unknowingly just never leaves yeah |
| 3884s | really fun and for you well actually I |
| 3890s | think the concertina pump when you throw |
| 3893s | that in primate that's one of my |
| 3894s | favorite sounds because not before it |
| 3897s | explodes you have that |
| 3898s | when I'm you have the explosion and |
| 3900s | those really really mechanical sounds |
| 3903s | very similar sound is the sticky bump |
| 3906s | when you take it out and your whole set |
| 3908s | again you have all these little spikes |
| 3909s | that just fold out and that sounds very |
| 3912s | satisfying but also what actually |
| 3915s | chattiest working on the whole HRT our |
| 3917s | staff developing the whole technology |
| 3921s | behind that that was financial yeah |
| 3925s | translational like a like a youth okay |
| 3928s | let's see what other questions do you |
| 3931s | guys have on audio let me see sound I |
| 3938s | mean I see the concertina sounds great |
| 3943s | let me see please get the questions out |
| 3947s | here later so we can read it can we get |
| 3948s | the audio indicator for full running |
| 3950s | stamina back like was there nice breath |
| 3953s | you know you're back to full running |
| 3956s | stomach isolate did you remove the sound |
| 3959s | there too I think we might have turned |
| 3966s | it quiet on a string as well who is the |
| 3974s | file is and a new song I mean in all |
| 3977s | songs me to a combination of stuff so |
| 3980s | some things we play ourselves some |
| 3982s | things we play MIDI instruments fakie |
| 3992s | boy playing the pilot it was a fake |
| 3995s | keyboard guys that was a let me see if |
| 4002s | we have more audio questions what these |
| 4004s | two plugins to use I mean all of them |
| 4009s | pretty specific questions but we can |
| 4012s | answer it I mean for tech guys who don't |
| 4015s | know that you see plugins are plugins |
| 4017s | you used in your audio software to |
| 4019s | mangle all sounds and I mean we are all |
| 4022s | using the memo from sniper sniper |
| 4025s | it's a post-production software you can |
| 4028s | use out in the video with the spider |
| 4030s | where you lay out the sounds |
| 4031s | and then I think each of us has some |
| 4034s | favorite plugins like reverb or just |
| 4036s | washing or mm-hmm stuff we had on top of |
| 4039s | it to basically mangle the Salander in a |
| 4041s | different direction yeah that's a good |
| 4045s | boy yeah if you guys ever thought about |
| 4047s | creating refers your audio traps |
| 4049s | crackers that go quiet when people are |
| 4050s | near but about when no one is there was |
| 4052s | also a suggestion that in the steam |
| 4054s | forums back then I I kind of liked the |
| 4056s | idea that if you know across a field and |
| 4058s | everything it was quiet and it just got |
| 4060s | too complicated that because it would |
| 4062s | mean we have to have all these different |
| 4063s | environmental sounds then related to |
| 4067s | player distance and as soon as there's a |
| 4069s | player and the way we have to turn it |
| 4071s | down it's just means we have to change a |
| 4072s | lot of things and also design was very |
| 4075s | skeptical about that because they were |
| 4077s | saying hey wait a minute then suddenly |
| 4079s | everybody's just like listening our it's |
| 4081s | you know as soon as things get quiet you |
| 4083s | know someone is near so it's a little |
| 4086s | trade-off and I think just too |
| 4087s | complicated to do at the moment okay I |
| 4090s | saw also that some people asked which |
| 4093s | which I had said you guys use |
| 4097s | specifically so you guys can hear or |
| 4099s | they could hear it exactly the same you |
| 4101s | guys well we saw the thing is like we of |
| 4104s | course testing on various headsets and |
| 4105s | recently at some 2.95 your butt's to |
| 4109s | just test we were usually using audio |
| 4113s | specific ones it's called the the by a |
| 4114s | dynamic DT 770 it's just very big if |
| 4119s | like confident on yeah but it's not a |
| 4121s | headset and then but these are also well |
| 4124s | they they also exist as a headset but |
| 4125s | it's just an example of like it's a 150 |
| 4127s | euro type that's a headphone which i |
| 4133s | think is fair enough |
| 4133s | right you might you guys spend a lot of |
| 4135s | money on your hardware regarding graphic |
| 4138s | card monitors etc etc it's like a |
| 4140s | thousand bucks easily and then like oh |
| 4143s | yeah but i listened to it with $10 |
| 4146s | headphones you know that's a bit unfair |
| 4149s | I mean what a fancy your ears yeah why |
| 4152s | not you know it's it's it's it's at |
| 4154s | least you can consider it yeah I mean we |
| 4156s | we try to make the sound good as many |
| 4160s | different things as possible so we mix |
| 4162s | on big speakers we mix on small speakers |
| 4165s | when |
| 4165s | on more expensive and more crappy |
| 4168s | headphones but yeah if if you want to |
| 4171s | have a good sound you have to invest a |
| 4173s | bit of money like that you can hear all |
| 4175s | the frequencies as low in guess each of |
| 4179s | each or every fairly decent stereo |
| 4183s | headset or stereo headphones or what I |
| 4186s | like to use at home is just um in your |
| 4188s | monitors like you would you stand on |
| 4189s | stage um that works very well let me see |
| 4212s | already still I will would there ever be |
| 4213s | whistle in the games of sample okay I |
| 4216s | don't want to I don't want to over |
| 4217s | promise but I haven't have a task in my |
| 4220s | huge backlog of things we want to try |
| 4222s | out which is like can we experiment with |
| 4225s | let's say communicating between hunters |
| 4227s | which is maybe the non-verbal one so |
| 4230s | that goes like you know or like of |
| 4234s | course you know we have female hunters |
| 4239s | and male hunters you know and maybe two |
| 4242s | male hunters so no it's not seriously |
| 4245s | it's like we we have been thinking about |
| 4247s | whether that's an option and obviously |
| 4248s | it would be super cool to lure enemies |
| 4250s | right did you say made me dead without |
| 4252s | saying that okay and then you just draw |
| 4256s | attention you know can control the eye |
| 4258s | but it's again it's more difficult than |
| 4261s | just have the sound because you didn't |
| 4262s | need the emitter it has to be you know |
| 4264s | passed on to all the eye they have to |
| 4266s | react to you what happens if you have |
| 4267s | multiple hunter teams again it's like |
| 4270s | something to investigate but nothing I |
| 4272s | would like to promise I mean in general |
| 4275s | wheel so I'm working on potentially |
| 4277s | having multiple different voices for you |
| 4279s | yeah so so why but I heard that you know |
| 4282s | the new male ones are being like not |
| 4285s | perceived perfect by everyone and and I |
| 4289s | can understand well like well it's a I |
| 4290s | totally underestimated when making that |
| 4293s | call to change it that everybody was so |
| 4295s | married to the to the old male one |
| 4298s | the reason we changed it originally and |
| 4301s | hasn't changed it's like we knew females |
| 4303s | were coming they come with a much wider |
| 4305s | variety we had to match mail to it |
| 4308s | that's where it all came from then we |
| 4311s | notice that the death sound was |
| 4313s | something everybody was really with |
| 4315s | missing so they'd know back in the old |
| 4317s | style and but again the reason why we |
| 4320s | changed is primarily to offer more sets |
| 4322s | moving forward so that means you know we |
| 4325s | can play trios now right so you can have |
| 4327s | three males per team and at the moment |
| 4329s | everybody has the same set so it's like |
| 4331s | twin brother like everybody's like sound |
| 4333s | exactly the same even though there are |
| 4335s | variations so moving forward we won't |
| 4338s | have more sets in general and then yes |
| 4342s | and then we don't exactly know whether |
| 4343s | we go by tier right based on the tier |
| 4346s | you get a different set whether it's |
| 4347s | just randomly assigned based on |
| 4349s | recruiting that's something we have to |
| 4351s | figure out but moving forward at least |
| 4353s | having three male and three female would |
| 4355s | be would be something to aim for first |
| 4358s | and then let's see we can take it from |
| 4360s | there maybe do even a little contest |
| 4363s | where we say best impression can do a |
| 4366s | set |
| 4367s | [Laughter] |
| 4371s | I mean we did we did it early early |
| 4373s | early on back today we did a grunt |
| 4375s | contest yeah and it was a good that was |
| 4378s | a good thing because it it was a lot of |
| 4380s | fun too it was really fun I some of the |
| 4384s | weirdest weirdest noises I was pretty |
| 4396s | surprised okay let's do one or two more |
| 4398s | questions and please audio questions |
| 4400s | only |
| 4402s | are you currently happy with the current |
| 4404s | sound levels of footsteps going back |
| 4406s | after a break and I found the footsteps |
| 4408s | to be rather loud they don't size |
| 4409s | naturally where someone actually is |
| 4411s | walking or running so in fairness so we |
| 4413s | did the mix and we're all sitting there |
| 4415s | and then so Dennis came down to the auto |
| 4419s | mixing stage and we spend a fair hour I |
| 4421s | think to just you know walk forth and |
| 4423s | back and and he was pretty happy with we |
| 4426s | were pretty happy with and then so far I |
| 4429s | think I heard one or two threats I read |
| 4432s | where people say hmm it has changed true |
| 4434s | it is running is now a little bit |
| 4437s | further audible than it was before the |
| 4439s | whole steps have been you know |
| 4440s | completely re-exported so they new |
| 4442s | assets sometimes and also you know a |
| 4444s | little different sounding wood etc so |
| 4447s | there's maybe some learning curve |
| 4449s | in comparison to the existing and but |
| 4452s | it's not totally new right and then of |
| 4455s | course we do some adjustments like metal |
| 4456s | was super loud and other things but too |
| 4458s | quiet so there has been a little |
| 4459s | adjustments but overall I saw our |
| 4462s | quality guys so everybody was playing a |
| 4464s | lot in our company as well as on beyond |
| 4466s | the test server and I had it yeah so |
| 4471s | never say never we might change it if |
| 4472s | people complain and say that's not |
| 4474s | working out but so far it was pretty |
| 4476s | happy and I received rather positive |
| 4478s | feedback like people saying like it's |
| 4480s | yeah much better now you can you can |
| 4482s | clearly pinpoint I was it was it Archy |
| 4485s | or some some streamers like he was |
| 4487s | shooting two guys should I just |
| 4489s | listening to the footsteps through a |
| 4491s | wall I was like whoa our binaural really |
| 4494s | works in combination with the distance |
| 4495s | so I mean the footsteps are really |
| 4498s | tricky because any change |
| 4500s | players noticed instantly yeah and we |
| 4504s | get a lot of we get community reports we |
| 4507s | check ourselves and when we change the |
| 4509s | footsteps for some it's too quiet |
| 4511s | yeah depends if you get killed and you |
| 4515s | didn't hear the guy then you might want |
| 4517s | them louder you get killed because he |
| 4519s | heard you you might want to quite so |
| 4521s | it's kind of tricky but we definitely |
| 4522s | listen to all feedback and if the |
| 4525s | community says it's too loud we will I |
| 4529s | mean it's actually hard to just hit that |
| 4532s | spot between you don't you don't want |
| 4534s | them perfectly realistic don't want them |
| 4536s | only to be there for for game design but |
| 4540s | you actually want to give people a good |
| 4542s | feeling that are listening for that |
| 4544s | stuff and you want to also give people a |
| 4547s | small disadvantage if they are just loud |
| 4549s | and running everywhere so they don't |
| 4551s | hear everything and so you have to hit |
| 4553s | that spot between the realism and the |
| 4554s | readability that's for the game yes it's |
| 4557s | supporting the game design and the |
| 4559s | choices you know that like yeah faster |
| 4562s | loud quiet and sneaky I mean in general |
| 4564s | it's always like the difficult thing |
| 4566s | finding a balance between the two |
| 4567s | because obviously it is still a game and |
| 4569s | well obviously they might not sound as |
| 4572s | loud in real life |
| 4575s | would there be a possibility for a trade |
| 4577s | that would reduce but not remove the |
| 4579s | sound of walking crouching footsteps on |
| 4581s | glass or it's metal roofs roofs and |
| 4584s | wooden heartful well I would imagine |
| 4587s | this is like something where you wear |
| 4588s | your shoes getting I don't know you have |
| 4590s | some cloth around your shoes which men |
| 4593s | dampen it ooh yes what possible problem |
| 4598s | with it is though is it's so all games |
| 4602s | do that the silent footstep perk and |
| 4605s | it's so powerful that once you have it |
| 4608s | you need it it's like because such a big |
| 4611s | advantage and I think that's by Dennis |
| 4614s | and the designers have said like we |
| 4616s | maybe want don't want to go as far |
| 4618s | because footsteps and the information |
| 4620s | about player position is so important |
| 4622s | that once you have that perk everybody |
| 4623s | needs it right otherwise you have really |
| 4627s | really big disadvantage so I would |
| 4629s | probably say no to that |
| 4631s | exactly already audio in east accent |
| 4634s | hunt maybe hmm |
| 4638s | possibly but I'm sure perhaps okay uh |
| 4645s | yeah thank you guys so much for |
| 4646s | answering all the questions they're |
| 4648s | asking questions and explaining a little |
| 4651s | bit more about audios if you missed it |
| 4653s | the songs are gonna come with full lunch |
| 4656s | on the biggest harder than five |
| 4659s | streaming platforms in the world only |
| 4661s | 105 I know it's a look a little low but |
| 4665s | I guess go find one I'm sure you'll be |
| 4668s | able to find one yeah exactly and then |
| 4670s | you guys can enjoy the music wherever |
| 4673s | you are and don't forget with the rumble |
| 4676s | now being very quiet you can also crank |
| 4678s | up the music slider again otherwise you |
| 4680s | won't hear the music which music is glad |
| 4682s | listen to the gramophone and play the |
| 4686s | gramophone yeah are we gonna get how |
| 4688s | often you guys changing music on the |
| 4690s | gramophones oh we have we have special |
| 4693s | pieces for example for Christmas stuff |
| 4696s | like that um |
| 4697s | and with the new songs out there we |
| 4699s | might you know sneak them into the game |
