ABSTRACT

This chapter focuses on identifying careers opportunities in sound for games. It makes people to understand the business of game audio. The first fact of life in business is adaptability. Games are a rapidly changing, fast-paced and high-tech industry. The Game Audio Network Guild (GANG) awards ceremony for excellence in game audio and music is the closest thing the game-audio world has to the Oscars. The main mission of the Interactive Audio Special Interest Group (IASIG) is to put the creators of interactive audio software and hardware directly in touch with the composers and designers in the field who use their tools. The International Game Developers Association (IGDA) is the largest nonprofit membership organization in the world and serves all individuals who create video games. Sound for games is an exciting, growing and constantly changing field. The Audio Engineering Society is the only professional society devoted exclusively to audio technology.
