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 genre than others.

For instance rhythm games

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.

Examples

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