Torrent description

nopsis:
A distinguishing feature of video games is their interactivity, and sound
plays an important role in this: a player's actions can trigger dialogue,
sound effects, ambient sound, and music. And yet game sound has been
neglected in the growing literature on game studies. This book fills that
gap, introducing readers to the many complex aspects of game audio, from its
development in early games to theoretical discussions of immersion and
realism. In Game Sound, Karen Collins draws on a range of sources--including
composers, sound designers, voice-over actors and other industry professionals,
Internet articles, fan sites, industry conferences, magazines, patent documents,
and, of course, the games themselves--to offer a broad overview of the history,
theory, and production practice of video game audio.
