Description
Sound is prevalent in many of the most recognized Signatures in games. A Signature supports a strong link between players and on what keep in memory from their experience while playing. Not only, it evokes a memory but it also works as a token that allows different players to communicate their common experience.
Building a Signature is both relevant in emotional and commercial terms.
A Signature is, almost by definition, achieved through singularity. Music or particular Sound Effects are common ways to achieve it, but aspects of the Characters' Soundprint also constitute a vast space of opportunities.
Examples
Super Mario: The Music in Super Mario is one most recognized Signature in the history of games.
