Stargate Worlds: Stargate Worlds Sound Designer Interview

Digital Content Producer site published an interview with Stargate Worlds Sound Designer Nick LaMartina who talked about the workflow and its benefits in creating and improving the final product:

"With movies, you have a locked picture and a linear experience - the viewer experiences that world in exactly the way the director intended it to be viewed," says Nick LaMartina, sound designer at Cheyenne Mountain Entertainment in Mesa, Ariz.

"In games, I compare it to preparing to do a massive live show, and you have to write instructions for an intern about how to react to every possible thing that could happen under any possible circumstance, then flipping a switch and hoping it all goes OK. Game audio has to be ready to deal with any number of possibilities in even the simplest games. That's why a good, logical workflow is important in creating the sound for the game."
