Abronium Party is developed for the XBox360 platform. I worked on the project as audio designer developing ambience, weapon sounds, feedback sounds and jingles.

About the game
Abronium is a party game with up to 16 players and you can play five different game modes such as soccer, race, fetch, capture the flag or chase. The graphical setting is a science fiction universe on the planet of Abronium.

Audio Design
The graphical environment of the planet Abronium gives player associations to a cartoon science fiction environment. I decided that the sound design had to be a mixture of synthesised, natural and analogue mechanical sounds. The whole audio design for the weapons, feedback and jingles are inspired from science fiction and action cartoons such as Ben10 and Secret Saturdays. The sounds were implemented using XACT.

One of the things that can be surprising during the work proces for interactive media is that you might have to cut out or simplify some sounds, so it does not create ‘annoyance’ during game play. When I – for instance – created the sound for the rope gun, I designed separate variations for when player did the following actions: release, pull out and pull back. But because it was someting that player was going to do continuously – I decided that there was only going to be one sound that was going to support players interaction with the ‘rope gun’.
