Unpacking is Game of the Day on the App Store in Australia and New Zealand! The game was made in Brisbane, Australia, and has many references to our hometown—have you spotted any? #OnTheAppStore

I hate video editing so much, I really should have made a bigger song and dance of it when I finally made a new sound design sizzle reel last year. So apropos of nothing, here it is!

Had a chat with Maddie for her article on AI voices in games…
What's actually involved in getting a human voice actor to record lines for a game, and how does that compare to an AI replacement?

@maddie-b-a.bsky.social speaks to actors and audio engineers like @selmaleh.bsky.social and @jeffvandyck.com to try and demystify what goes into giving games a voice.
How the Cost and Effort of Human Voice Actors Compares to Generative AI
“A well-trained actor will save production in the end because you know the better trained you are, the quicker you can do the job and get what you need”
