A Linear Score in an Interactive Medium: The Music of Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora
Wednesday November 20, 2024 11:30 - 12:30 CET
3.39 - Audiokinetic
Doing justice to an epic story, told in the cinematic universe of Avatar, presented the music team at Massive Entertainment with a huge challenge. How can an interactive game fulfill the expectations set by the popular films?
In the presentation Lasse will demonstrate how the team implemented the Pinar Toprak’s beautiful score for the highly realized narrative campaign of Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, which not only supports the moment-to-moment action on screen, but also enhances the mood and the narrative by highlighting both the player’s and main character’s emotions and expectations.
Outside of the narrative campaign, Lasse will show the extensive music system used to make the open world music feel scripted, deliberate, and cinematic, despite the complete lack of linearity in gameplay.

Game Developer First
Wednesday November 20, 2024 16:30 - 17:30 CET
3.39 - Audiokinetic
We are all game developers first – working outside a strict discipline delineation model.
Working within a philosophy where your discipline is your area of craft expertise but not the only reason you are in the room.
Where we work closely together as developers and players and how this model of working has grown out of my long experience in audio.
As audio people we work in depth with every other discipline and gain a deep understanding of both the player experience and the process of working in game development.

Avatar: Frontiers of Sound Propagation
Thursday November 21, 2024 09:30 - 10:30 CET
3.39 - Audiokinetic
New gen consoles and modern GPU hardware have opened new opportunities for how sound propagation can be handled in games. In Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, these new opportunities sent the sound crew on a journey to the realms of raytracing and voxelized path finding, towards the ultimate goal: a real-time propagation solution providing an obstruction and occlusion simulation that’s scalable, supports dynamic environments, uses existing data, requires no baking steps, no adding of rooms and portals, or tagging materials with absorption values. Spoiler alert: they did not quite get there! However, in this talk, two senior members of the audio team will present their intriguing and impressive final solution sharing what they learned along the way.
