Today, Sandbox Interactive releases another behind the scenes video for their sandbox MMORPG Albion Online. Where the last video showed the recording process of the orchestral soundtrack, the new video is all about the sound design for the game. What does that entail? Every sound – be it the clang of weapon on weapon during battle or the chirping of crickets in the swamp – is created and arranged by sound designer Florian Bodenschatz. In the video he explains which factors are vital for a solid sound design in computer games and why the sounds have a very real effect on the game’s atmosphere. Florian also gives an insight into his work processes, explains the new sound engine of Albion Online and describes the special challenges a sound designer needs to master for this game.
