Hello! Welcome back to episode thirty-five of our monthly podcast about games and game audio. Just a very short one from us this month, as we're both very busy. Barney is currently travelling in Israel after having just started a new job with SweetJustice, and Derek in settling into a new job at Naughty Dog and a new home in LA. It's been a hectic month for us so we decided to pre-record a quick update on where our lives are at. We'll be back very soon with more of that infectious banter and game audio knowledge share. Have a lovely October!

Hello! Welcome back to episode thirty-one of our monthly podcast about games and game audio. This month, we have a chat about showreels, and how to best approach showreels as a sound designer in the games industry. We go over some basic info and talk a bit about our experience making reels over the years. We also talk about Avengers: Endgame, Shazam!, Death Stranding, Raising Kratos, Divinity: Original Sin II, Austin Wintory's GDC 2019 talk The 'Banner Saga' Franchise: Making Indie Sound AAA and many more fun things.
This month, we're really excited to be sponsored by our friends at Pro Sound Effects! They have sent us over a copy of 'Bass Machine', a new library from their Sonomar Collection. We have a chat about the library in the episode, and we've also made a couple of videos for you to hear more of the library, here and here. You can also get a fantastic $50 off the library, when using the code 'SOUNDBYTES' at the checkout! Thanks PSE!

Hello! Welcome back to episode twenty-eight of our monthly podcast about games and game audio. This month, Barney sat down with his two friends and colleagues, Josh Bell and Francesco Del Pia, to discuss life at Cloud Imperium Games, making sounds for spaceships and spacesuits, and generally working with a big team on a big project. We also talked about finding work in the games industry as a sound designer, how to deal with moving to a new city and a new country to join a company, and how to get past the impostor syndrome that comes with starting a career in sound. A huge thanks to Josh and Fran for taking the time to chat, we had a great discussion and we hope it is helpful information, especially for newcomers to the industry.

Hello! Welcome back to episode twenty-seven of our monthly podcast about games and game audio. We're already a month deep into 2019, and so far the year has brought us snow, and the much awaited first demo for Anthem. We discuss said demo in this episode, as well as the Haunting of Hill House, Altered Carbon, and Derek's latest build project, based on the Nob Control. We also decided to tackle the topic of - things we wish we knew when we were getting into the industry - 5 things that we each felt is useful information for the up-and-coming game sound designer.
