What is GLEAM session?

You want to save time on your projects? GLEAM session lets you record your voice and your facial animations simultaneously. In one shot, you capture the emotion of the voice and the actor performance.

The capture of the voice and animation is done in the recording stages of Game Audio Factory in Paris and Angoulême (France) but also in the Native Prime Studios (Germany, Italy, Spanish).

Magrunner Dark Pulse, the action/reflection game for PC, Xbox LIVE® and PlayStation®Network, today unveils more through the very first video of the game!
In the near future, in 2050, a handful of young and brilliant citizens have been chosen by Gruckezber Corporation to join the Magtech training program for space exploration. Equipped with a special glove using Gruckezberg’s technology, the candidates have to solve their way through a maze of challenge rooms that get more and more challenging, by magnetically charging objects in the level that will attract or repel each other. But when an earthquake disrupts the training program, what seemed to be the chance of a lifetime for the candidates will soon become a descent into folly and cosmic horror! In this video, plunge with Dax, the hero of the game, into a future where Technology confronts the Cthulhu Mythos!

Magrunner Dark Pulse will be released on PC, Xbox LIVE® and PlayStation®Network.

Hpi was teaching Sound Design for Mobile Applications and Websites at Limoges this week.

http://www.unilim.fr

From sound basics (frequencies, volume, file sizes, formats and compression, effects with EQ, compression, limiter etc…) to sound designers technics, ‘know how’ and tricks, and finally an introduction to sound technologies developed in the video game field, with all the real time challenges.

Teaching is an exercise that most of us enjoy in the team, we love to share our experience, and preparing these sessions is challenging, you have to watch out all the last technological improvements on the market !

Next week, the GAF team is heading up west to the ENJMIN, for a course dedicated to sound engines and audio programming in the video game field.
