Originally we had no intention of including sound in our title. But our friend (who spend most of his freetime working with music and sound production) convinced us that we should and signed up as sound engineer. Thus this round of 5 quick questions targets the sound department
Q What are your favorite games?
A: Currently I play a lot of mass effect. Other favorites is Wings for the amiga, champions of krynn, baldurs gate, battlefield II and the first wing commander game.
Q Why do you even want to have sound in a browser based title?
A: The reason for having sound, is that it obviously have a major impact on the games atmosphere. Even a tiny loop with a low frequency pad, and som ambience noise, will do a lot to the games atmosphere.
Q: How do you plan to create ambient sounds that people dosn’t grow tired off?
A: One way of doing that, is by letting the ambient sounds depend on what you encounter in the game. I.e. the screeching swing on the playground. The gnarled growling of a zombie when you are attacked. And last but not least, make the sounds very scary.
Q: What do you think makes a good horror browser based game?
A: One of the keyelements in a good game, is a good history and a good atmosphere. Furthermore with the development of online gaming, the possibility of coorporation to reach a goal is something I like. Also diversity(mangfoldighed?) is important.
Q: What do you look forward to the most in Zombie Pandemic?
A: Great story, great atmosphere, and a lot of possibilities to effect the game through the decisions you make.
Q: And one final bonus question – what do expect to be your favorite weapon for killing zombies in the game?
A: The classic combination. Shotgun for ranged attacks, and the leadpipe for close combat.
