Time Loop Chicken Polka - audio update

Happy post-turkey day, everyone!  As we are nearing the wrap-up period of production on Episode 4, it’s time for another audio update.

It feels rather appropriate for me to do a post after a poultry enhanced holiday, as a similar feathered creature was a main part of this episode… of course, I refer to the time travelling chicken. The winning community submission for the ‘sound of time travel’ was very enjoyable, and we did our best to blend the rest of the audio sound scape to match that feel.  In addition to time travel empowered poultry, we got to play with clunky gears, electrical storm portals, dropped “swiss army marbles”, falls, breaks, and dramatic music. 

One day I came across a ticking stopwatch sound sample. It felt like something that might work for the base of a game music track so I started mixing in some bass, tuba, accordion, and our chicken friend.  We ended up going a different route with game music, more techno and faster paced, though the “Time Loop Chicken Polka” still lives on in the Episode 4 credits sequence.
