We tend to know we know a certain software really well by using it every day. How about pushing that knowledge to the limit and actually making a game out of software that is not intended as a game engine. In this talk, Daniel will showcase how he made games out of the versatile audio software Reaper as well as the multiple games he has made in Wwise - all done without any scripting

- Projects I have worked on
- DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) Industry standard for game audio Highly customizable Vast database of user made scripts Every track can be anything. Mono, stereo, MIDI, gif, video, JPEG.
- Put constraints on yourself
- Demonstration or video
- Audio comes in late in the game production phase
- Game Audio Middleware Leading in it’s field Extremely powerful UI from the 90’s
- If you don’t believe me, this is how it looks like Meant to build extensive audio integrations for AAA I have tried to test it’s limits
- How to make a game in software that’s so locked and have lacking UI
- Tell the story how we Ressa and I jammed the idea after making our hunted horror house. Before the car ride was over I promised I would make the game.
- She came up with the idea to use the Voice Profiler is a display Displays boring things like events, channels.. That’s when I came up with the idea of

- Chooses a random mole at random interval. PlayMole or NoMole
- At the beginning of the segment a state is set “Moleup” at the end of the segment “Mole down” is triggered. States are saved for Mole number and MoleStatus
- The Soundcaster is used to test out sounds without the game engine. Here it’s used to wwack some moles (udskift screenshot til højre til Whac i stedet for Hammer)
- Big IfThisThenThat machine. Example of Mole01 If you hit the hammer while MoleStatus is Up and Mole01 is set, then it’s a HIT. Everything else is miss
- Plays event If the score is 00, set the next score to 01 Very manual.
- At 00 lifes left Game Over The music pitches down and stops
- The lenght determines how long are Mole is up
- At the beginning of the segment a state is set “Moleup” at the end of the segment “Mole down” is triggered
- Title of events displays the mole. Readme, Enjoy And listen or Wack it!
