Design guidelines for audio-based game features
Tiffany Tong, Daniel Zingaro, Steve Engels · 2014
The game design process integrates visual, audio, gameplay, and control elements into a single experience. Of these, the audio component is often treated as a secondary concern in both the design and research arenas. Our research seeks to remedy this, by focusing on audio elements of games, their impact they can have, and how audio design can be integrated in the overall design process. This poster will present the audio games we have created to test these elements, and our current research findings on how audio features can affect overall gameplay. We will also propose the configuration of these audio features for effective audio-based games.
