You can do everything at your own pace from the comfort of your own home. It’s perfect for people who may have a busy schedule as you can do a lot of the work on evenings and weekends, as I did. As long as you have an internet connection, you’re good to go.
The course is a 2-month long course that is completed one week at a time. Rather than having complete access to the entire course, each week, beginning on Mondays, the coming week’s lessons are unlocked. For the first 3-4 weeks, there is an assignment to submit based on the week’s lessons. The School of Video Game Audio recommends freeing up ...

I'm lucky enough to have gotten my first real game audio job as the sole sound designer/implementer for an indie game. We've been in predev for a little while now and things are looking likely to ramp up significantly very soon.
I’m stuck on lesson 4 “Posting Events From Animations” I did everything right like the script, setting the animation events and setting the correct function but I cannot get the footsteps to play.
I am one year into music production, but recently I started to realise that I should focus more on the game industry.
Hi there, I'm working on an interactive soundtrack in FMOD for a game jam. I've noticed that in the demo for our game that the audio doesn't play until the page is refreshed.
I know iPad isn’t the best tool for sound design for video games but I’m about to hit the road for a bit and don’t have a laptop. I do all my work on my windows desktop mostly. What are apps and hardware you recommend to work on the IPad Pro?

I want to approach a composer to produce a couple songs in MIDI format for a game project (or buy pre-existing compositions if they already have something that fits with the project). As far as I know the artist has not sold their work before so I think I would be the one proposing the terms.
Where do people get the music for their games? Could you recommend any websites with royalty free music for games?
What the title says really! I wanted to ask on here whether anyone has any useful helper functions they use when working with Wwise in Unity. I've only got a couple so far, one that checks whether an event is playing on a gameObject (with simplified arguments), and a simplified PostEvent with callback function.
