I had the pleasure of getting invited as a keynote speaker at the inaugural Georgia Game Developers Expo (GGX) in Atlanta. This is my talk, How to Keep Loving Games While Making Their Audio, to which I've added subtitles. The staff at GGX were so accommodating, the audience was really receptive, and considering it's my first in-person event and my first time doing anything related to What I Love in front of a camera, I feel the whole event went great! I hope you enjoy it, and please consider subscribing to their YouTube channel to check out more of the talks and help gather momentum for the staff to make this an annual event!

Thankfully we have two brilliant examples of horror comedy games, Lethal Company and Content Warning, to help us find out! Thanks to PhilipIONO, who created the Blender model of the Coil-head that I used in this video! https://philipiono.gumroad.com/ Heres my previous video on proximity voice chat in horror games, which looks at Phasmophobia and In Silence: https://youtu.be/TOa5esB_HIA { ?

In this video, I share a spoiler-free look at several sequels in the Five Nights at Freddys franchise, and explain different ways that they use sound effects to intensify gameplay! There are many ways a sound can become intense, and each game has something unique to highlight! Hopefully I can deliver all this info concisely, before all the animatronics in this video make their way into my studio... { ? I ♥ }$
