Do you have an online

tutorial you’d like to share

with readers? Have you

created an online resource

that other game developers

might find useful? Maybe

you have a local code club

you’re keen to promote? If

you have something you’d

What is it?

In his lively talk, industry expert Simon N Goodwin

will drill open the black box of game audio

runtime systems, identifying the objects in Object

Audio and how they’re built and managed from

psychoacoustic and signal-processing principles.

Detailed explanations will be grounded with

practical advice and anecdotes, and he’ll even

answer some questions at the end – which could

prove as interesting as the talk itself...

Who’s running it?

Simon N Goodwin has been making games

and audio tech for almost 40 years, with

firms including Codemasters, Electronic Arts,

Intel, Motorola, and Sega. These days, he’s an

interactive audio technology consultant based

in Warwick. He’s pioneered the use of seemingly

dead-end 1970s British tech like Ambisonics in

VR and games like Grand Theft Auto; helped get

six games to number one in the chart; picked up

five patents and a couple of BAFTAs; and written

a book, Beep to Boom, which came out earlier

this year.
