Abstract:
This
work
was
born
from
a
perceived
lack
of
accessibility
among
existing
game
audio
tools.
This
prompted
the
search
for
free,
cross-‐platform
solutions
to
demonstrate
the
fundamentals
of
interactive
sound.
The
assertion
being
that
any
aspiring
audio
professional
should
have
the
ability
to
explore
the
foundations
of
sound
for
games,
regardless
of
issues
such
as
choice
of
computing
platform,
prior
game
development
experience,
access
to
professional
game
projects,
or
financial
resources.
To
that
end,
this
work
suggests
the
use
of
free
tools
as
an
ideal
solution
for
the
development
of
essential
game
audio
skills.
