Description
This pattern refers to the design decisions regarding the reach of sound to the different components the game may include.
Often, expressions such as "the sound of a game" are used to refer to the sounds heard during Gameplay and possibly in the Cutscenes. Yet, sound may extend to other moments of a game's usage, including the Menus and the starting Title Screens.
Addressing the sound design of these components as a whole has the advantage of enabling them to fit in the same Acoustic Ecology.
