Thank you for taking the time to attend my talk at the India Game Developer Conference 2023. I hope the discussion gave you some insights into exploring audio as a key element to engaging and immersive experiences, for games and any interactive project you have in mind.
I understand that some parts of the presentation might have seemed like TMI in the limited time we had. It'd be great if you considered exploring the topics further, and to help you with that, here is the presentation:
My aim with this talk has been to initiate a conversation, instead of merely concluding a topic. I'm eager to know what you'll create next with this knowledge in mind and I'm always available for a quick chat about the same. Use the Contact Me form anytime to continue the conversation or to give me feedback about what I can improve in the talk so it connects better with the developers and non-audio folks of gaming.
As promised, here are some goodies (available for a limited time) for all the attendees of the event.
