Show Notes

Scott Johnson and Greg Street with guest James Ackley, Audio Director for Ghost at Fantastic Pixel Castle. They discuss audio design in MMOs, especially challenges with adaptive sound in open-world games versus corridor shooters and other genres. James shares his background (Monolith, ArenaNet, Amazon, Meta) and talks about leveraging in-world lore to craft immersive soundscapes. Avoiding traditional fantasy music, favoring diverse and real-world-inspired audio. Collaborative development is key! It’s all here in this episode!
