The Chronicles of Spellborn

Berlin, 4th of April 2008: That the developers of The Chronicles of Spellborn put much emphasis on ingame sound vibrant with atmosphere has already been emphasized by Sound Designer Matthew Florianz in a first article. In a new developer journal the sound engineer now explains the creation of background ambiences for the eerie high level region of Shorath Mesa. Two accompanying sound examples demonstrate how he carefully underscores places like the impressive “Shrine of Currents” or natural surroundings like forests and swamps with subtle sound elements. Together with the sound journal the mp3s are available on www.tcos.com right now. The first article is still online here: http://www.tcos.com/sbforum/viewtopic.php?t=11024.
