My latest guest on the Sound Business podcast is the wonderful Presley Hynes (@phrequencies.bsky.social)! We talk about how Presley started as a classical piano player before studying game audio, what she recommends up and coming sound designers do to stand out, and more! Link in bio to listen!

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 ^^

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'm very grateful for the range of responses I had from this. There's a super interesting drop-off looking at 2023-2024 grad years. I'm wondering if that's because of a) cost of living b) influx of information being available online, therefore formal education being less desirable, or c) covid

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.

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

9 - Spider-Man PS4. Came out on my birthday and I cried a lot 10 - Unpacking. The wholesome <3 and the FOLEY 11 - Deadlock. Really interesting balance between shooter and MOBA 12 - Animal Crossing because of course

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!

#gameaudio I'm conducting a survey! Looking to gather as many responses as possible. Not collecting emails, asking questions about education, when you got into the industry, if education is worthwhile and if that sentiment is changing, barriers of entry, etc. Please share! forms.gle/9UBVStxSvsk3...

Hello, BSky! Been a while since I updated here. I'm going to be likely making a more permanent switch because of ... you know. Updates: Doggos are great. Life still wonderful. Been at Gearbox working on Borderlands since earlier this year and loving it! Hope you're all great too!

I've only been climbing three times now but honestly I'm really enjoying it. I could never commit to gyms because I never really felt like I was accomplishing a goal. But with climbing you're hitting goals constantly and it's both mental and physical. Really satisfying overall.
