This video shows how I created and set up the sounds for my 2023 Global Game Jam Game, Lloid gets to the root of the problem. All of this was done in 48 hours and I did all the SFX and music in addition to acting as lead designer and director for the game. I was inspired by early arcade games that used simple sound chips and tried to emulate that sound in a unique modern way with my Behringer Model D synth as well as some synths from the Artuira V Collection. I had a lot of fun making these unique sounds and it worked very well for the time and resources we had.
