How do you make the act of recording sounds...into a game mechanic? 🎤 In partnership with Scavengers Studio, our SIDE Global team were up to the task of designing this most intriguing of game mechanics -- and the result is a one-of-a-kind immersive audio experience and technical marvel, entitled SEASON: A Letter to the Future. In SEASON, you play as Estelle, a young woman leaving her home village for the first time. She embarks on a bicycle road trip to explore the world, documenting and recording memories in a special journal, before a mysterious cataclysm washes everything away. Our team put forth the most ambitious of possible approaches for the game, which led to SEASON: A Letter to the Future winning Scavengers Studio and SIDE the 2024 G.A.N.G. Award for Best Sound Design for an Indie Game! 🎉 Read on to discover the background story of the game, how the audio feature was designed and implemented, and how it required certain bespoke audio tech to be developed by our team ➡️➡️ https://bit.ly/4bQcYZ7 #SIDEMontreal #GameAudio #GameSoundDesign #GameDevelopment #AudioIntegration
