News Discovery Scanner 3 - Audible Asteroids w/Ross Stack
- Thread starter Edward Lewis
- Start date
Did it have to be exactly 50% rotten, or would 40% suffice? And, what about half-fresh cabbages?
I wonder whether any of the sounds in Elite have been constructed from the sound of twisting a custard cream in half...
It depended on the toughness of the wall and the strength of the thrower.
I sure hope no custard creams were harmed in the making of this computer video game!

Looking forward to this pro-scanner peek, just hoping it isn't at light speed menu clicking like the mining and squadron live stream was. Yeah, that was a poke in the ribs and all in good fun.
This is AWESOME news! The Discovery Scanner livestreams are easily the most interesting community focused things that Frontier have ever done.
Youtube playlist with the other two for folks that missed them.

The sound in ED is absolute awesome sauce. Really looking forward to this one.
How apposite was that? The stream about audio got interrupted by a fire alarm! [haha]

.... and the sound team obviously had no hand in the fire alarm tone - far too bland and generic for their high quality work.... 
A thoroughly great performance and explanation about the audio effects in this stream. I congratulate you.
The "fire alarm incident" was with incredible timing .... surely someone must have triggered it in jest ! The jokes while you guys were offline were hilarious.
Anyway, a great stream to remember. Thanks guys. [up][up][up]

This was the best stream to date for me personally. Absolutely fascinating. To see how much passion and work goes into designing a ONE sound effect in game... Just wow. Hats off, jaw on the floor, slow clap.
I would love to see MoM talk about AI. Speaking to her at Lavecon about this was really something too.

Couldn't agree with Roots more. Easily the best livestream we've had so far. It's always so good to hear the passion that the people working on Elite have and the amount of love and detail they put into the game. It was a pleasure listening to you explain just a little bit of your work Ross. Thank you so much for taking the time to talk to us.
When the Discovery Scanner streams first started we all hoped they would continue for a very long time. I'm guessing the huge pressures of the Q4 update put a stop to that, but I really hope they can now resume. Bring on MoM next!
If you fancy answering a question Ross. What is the strangest/funniest foley sound you've done for Elite?

Despite the unavoidable interruption, this stream was a very informative stream. Sound-design is a very important part of game-design or media in general which usually only gets noticed of something went wrong, similar to the user interface. Games are expected to sound great and this kind of stream will probably increase the appreciation of the "invisible arts".
