Racing Game Sound Study [Links]



I tend to bury a lot of information within the text of these sound studies to serve as a further "jumping off point" for readers to dig deeper after they've made their way through the bulk of the research. Understandable, not everyone is into power-browsing with a multi-tabbed monstrosity within their search engine. So, here are the various links that were sprinkled throughout the study for you to further peruse at your leisure.

The study is represented by three posts:
Racing Game Sound Study - Lost Chocolate Lab
Racing Game Sound Study -Track Time Audio
Racing Game Sound Study - Game Audio Podcast

And an introductory article in Game Developer Magazine:
Vroom Vroom - A Study of Sound in Racing Games

Also, be sure to back the Dyno Sessions Kickstarter Project
