How to boost the liveness of the game with effective sound design


There was a negative perception of video games in the past, but video games are now considered a comprehensive art. Game stories, game design, and game sound combine with modern technology to provide the players with joy. Today, let us talk about what kind of role the game sound, one of the video game components, play.

Symbol of Video Game: Game Sound

When we talk about a particular movie, the OST comes to our mind with the famous scene of the movie. The same goes for video games. The Russian folk song Karinka and Bradinsky remind people of Tetris first. From classic games such as Bubble Bubble and Ghosts’n Goblins to modern video games such as Kart Rider and Fortress, the players have vividly imprinted game music in each of their minds when they think of the game.

In hit game series such as Pocket Monster, Dragon Quest, and Final Fantasy, their BGM maintain their own melody and style. Game music can identify the game itself and makes the players feel immersion and familiarity toward the game.

Not only game BGM, but also sound effects can be a symbol of the game. Super Mario’s jump and coin sound effects are famous sound effects that anyone would know if they have enjoyed just a little bit of it, and Nintendo has applied for the coin sound effect as a patent.

Sound Design that breathes life into games

As time goes by, the areas that you could direct in games are wider than the past and the role of sound design in games is expanding.

For instance, in previous 2D RPG games the field was a space where you move from one place to another and a BGM there was just enough. Nowadays, however, game sound is as essential as the field in open world games like Red Dead Redemption 2, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim where you give players realistic experiences and make interaction with in-game characters.

Through the in-game sounds, users can feel realistic experiences such as wild animals running, insects buzzing, rainfall and thunder.

Game sound breathes life into every part of games, and it increases user’s game immersion, making game characters more realistic. When a polygon’s movement meets sound, its crash against the hard floor and sharp steel becomes much more real. Game sound requires elaborate works, and it is a key aspect you should pay close attention to, to maximize immersive game play.
