Audio check in time!

After the electro frenzy that was Episode 00 (Laz0r Frogs), Episode 01 was a joy in that it had less actual ‘scenes’ to work with, though it still had its own challenges and obstacles to explore.

One of the tricky bits we encountered was how to treat the first half as a prequel, and a sequel at the same time. In audio land that meant figuring out ‘what can we nab’ from Episode 00 to give enough of a ‘last time’ feel, and then to explore what would best symbolize flashbacks to one of our characters glory days…and in quick short segments.

Fanfares and dramatic stings were a big part of sound design this time around, plus exploring what would be the musical equivalent of “strangely attractive” gnome love stares. Kazoo was also experimented with briefly, though the main usable results are present in the game portion. Don’t worry, I’m sure the kazoo will be better implemented in future episodes.

PS: We hope you enjoy the soothing voice of Purrcival.
