While the process is currently a bit academic, the finished results and size thereof are a true testament to a creative bunch of people trying to solve the industries foremost current challenges: memory & diversity.

Game Developer's Front Line Awards 2008: FMOD


Here's a nice write up of the FMOD audio middleware solution I did for Game Developer Magazine recently.

Game Developer's Front Line Awards 2008: FMOD

I have to say that tools like FMOD Designer, AudioKinetics wWise, and in-house tools that scale across the digital divide are totally enabling my particular niche and profession within the game industry.

Happy New Year!
