Game Scoring in Nashville
Whenever a new GDC begins, the week usually launches with a lot of standard industry buzz and hype, which is true for the industry overall, but also within each discipline. The game audio realm was no exception, and during the first day of GDC we started hearing all the latest in game audio hotness. There was the FMOD announcement, continued buzz over the GANG award nominees, and a LOT about Nashville. (read the rest of the article after the jump…)

The Q-Challenge!
The first Q-Challenge took place this 2nd quarter of 2012. The Q-Challenge (A quarterly challenge, hence the “Q”) was the brainchild of Crysis composer, Borislav Slavov and (to a lesser extent) Loot Drop’s Dren McDonald.
The idea was to create a fun, creative project that would encourage GANG members (of every level) to collaborate together and then allow the winners some bragging rights (and PRIZES!)
This year’s prizes were generously donated by soundiron.com and Sound Librarian. GANG would like to again thank both of our Q-Challenge sponsors for such great prizes!
The theme for the first challenge was “2012: The end of everything, or a new beginning?” and those who took part had the opportunity to compose, sound design, mix, record VO…whatever they wanted.
We had 4 entries for this challenge, and they are listed in the order of their popularity, based on the final vote that took place in the GANG forums.
“3 Minutes to Dawn” team – Borislav Slavov and Penka Kouneva
“New Beginnings” team – Trevor Sparham and Nino Rajacic
“The Benefit of the Doubt” team – Nathanael Tronerud and Dren McDonald
“2012” team – Rob Scales and Matt Murray
And here is a LINK to the audio for this challenge, posted on Soundcloud.
We are looking forward to setting up the next Q-Challenge, where we’ll be throwing new some new twists into the challenge (as we hope to do for each one of these!)
