The Next-Gen Dynamic Sound System of Killzone Shadow FallGuerrilla
We'll describe our new audio run-time and toolset that was built specifically for Killzone Shadow Fall on PlayStation 4. However, the ideas used are widely applicable and the focus is on integration with the game engine and fast iteration, with special attention to shortcuts to get your creative spark translated into in-game sounds as quickly as possible. We will demonstrate our implementation of these demands, which is a next-gen sound system that was designed to combine artistic freedom with high run-time performance. It should be interesting to both creative as well as technical minds who are looking for inspiration on what to expect from a modern sound design environment. To emphasize the performance advantage, we will show the point of view of both the sound designer and the programmer simultaneously. We will use examples starting with simple sounds and build up to increasingly more complex dynamic ones to illustrate the benefits of this unique approach.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

4. So the Question is……
How important is sound?*
Surely we can get this from the Internet?
What is a Soundtrack, SFX, Ambient?
Why aren’t they for free?
5. Well lets use the Free content?
Getting it free from the web…..
• You become responsible for the sound quality in your team.
• You can not make any changes that your project needs
Copy and Paste
• A Sound Designer can recognise copy/pasted content… Legal implications
8. Technical Review….lesson one…
4 Sound categories
Sound Effects (SFX)
• short sounds - knobs, swords slices, door closing
Ambient
• setting location in Game, like a forest, sea shore
Music
• Sound tracks made by music composer for the game
Voice Over
• voices of characters
9. Reverberation….
Reverberation is the persistence of a sound after a sound is produced and adds
quality to your audio….. Things like Wet, Time, Decay….
10. So lets run through the following……
● What do you need to start?
● Sound Track creating process
● SFX creating process
● Ambient Sound design
● Getting a Sound designer
12. So what is the Scope of Work?
About 2-6 months before launch date
Game design has to be finished
All animation is ready to show
All characters are ready to show
A clear understanding of what is needed and what you want ….
13. Before you create final Audio….
Game design has to be finished……. and not all games are the same*
14. And your characters need to be seen….
Make all the characters first, if you don’t your sound designer will not understand
your objectives
=/
15. Animations need to have a set length
Changes in animation will effect Sound Design more changes will add cost
19. Phases of Soundtrack creative process:
Listening examples, learning game, finding groove
Demo
• it’s not a sound track, it’s only a short piece of a melody with a few instruments
to understand what composer "hears" for your game
Live
• Once approved the whole soundtrack can be recordedw with live instruments.
Changes Cost….
21. Soundtrack is not a Jingle!
Length Based on Cycled Purpose
OST 1-3 minutes the spirit of
the game
most of the
times “yes”
To illustrate
a group of
events in
game
Jingle 2-30 sec. the OST’s most of the
times “no”
To illustrate
a separated
event in
game
22. Well this is good should I employ a
Sound Designer?
To have a full-time SD you have to:
build a studio or make a working place for your SD, that has to
contain at least one room for audio…
buy a lot of stuff: microphones, sound cards, computers, remote
recorders and more, and more, and more…
Often they work in the middle of the night or early morning and
search of effects
23. The final polish
Final Mixing - Corrects all the volume balance, makes your game sound better,
and the final product for your title
