Description

Game Genre influences the kind of explorations in sound design, particularly regarding Gameplay.

Some of the explorations we identified are more prone to be found in particular genres than others. For instance, Rhythm Gameplay and Pitch Gameplay are characteristic of rhythm and pitch games where, in turn, it would not be expected to find explorations of Eavesdropping or Sound Decoys. Yet, since there may be no reason for a designer to strictly adhere to a particular genre, defying this boundaries can be a nice creativity principle.

Some other explorations, on the contrary, prove to be very cross-genre. Examples include Music, Achievement, Failure, Sound Effects, etc.

Examples

Patapon is an extraordinary example of a game that crosses genres, and combines explorations which are traditionally apart.
