Weimer Arena Session.mp3 (1.1 mB)

Making sound assets for own spin on the open-source game "Open Arena" was at first a little daunting, but a task I enjoyed throughly. In some ways I really feel like it put my "computer skills" (whatever that means?) to the test, particularly in the area of audio design. It's certainly something I would never thought of doing, which is a little strange, because its task that Trent Reznor was involved with in making the original Quake. The fact that Trent Reznor was involved in the early making of this, now open source version of the game, in a strange kind of way made me feel apart of a collaboration with him (in quite a 21st Century sense of course). Nevertheless - "Trent Reznor," "me" and "collaboration" - equals :)

A version of my version of an open source game, as well as other students, will be available somewhere, somehow at some-point. We are still figuring this out, because the edited game files are obviously quite large; unable to be posted on a free file server.
