These personal touches add so much substance and life to a game.

48:30 WAIT THATS DEVWORLD WTF Spoilers for anyone here who somehow doesnt know about it already: For those of you that don't know if you die in the dev save file while getting info on the golden path (typically by using the fire bomb cheatcode, spawning one in, and killing yourself with the DoT), you spawn on that bridge, leading you to a easter egg/secret area.

I can’t get enough of Tunic. I have all the merch, I can write in the language, I’m writing big band covers for the music… we need a dlc!

I also feel this way, especially lately. Tunic’s OST is simply transcendent and I’ve been reminiscing about my play-through a lot in recent weeks. I’m gonna have to grab a physical copy and immerse myself even more in the game on a subsequent play-through.

Easily one of the best GDC talks iv watched. This Dude is super entertaining.

I really wanted to like this talk, but I found his communication/delivery style and personality just... grating. I get a sense it might be a generational thing, though.

While I'm not an audio designer, this was a great talk that was still pretty easy to follow

The second half of this talk was so awesome as just a player with no musical theory knowledge. Makes the game just so much more interesting!

This was insane, I've never heard about any of these details before.

It is incredibly amazing the brilliant work done in Tunic. It is blow-minding, Thanks for showing this content!

That was fantastically well done not just as a talk but also a lot of the ideas used in this game are novel and very effective to the creative vision. Nice!

Amazing work guys, it's amazing that so much thought and care was put into the audio for Tunic. Definetly learned a lot from this talk.

This talk (and game!) was awesome!

I'm happy you guys finally published this one

This is awesome!

omg i cant believe i missed this being uploaded this is such an awesome talk fcuk yeah audio

Amazing talk, amazing craft and amazing game

Thank you GDC, thank you Kevin, that was awesome, such an amazing content.

Tunic is top 10 all time for games.

This “simple little Zelda ripoff” is so freaking complex. What a game!

44:14 had me dying of laughter that is so cute

Yikes. Scary good talk.

Tunic is so good. It's way too hard for me tho lol

Tunic is the dark souls of "hidden in plain sight"

Can someone explain the bit at 30:30 about the distant sound source? I don't understand why adding a slight delay to the event will make it feel more distant?

Sound travels slowly, it takes longer for sound to reach you then light. The further something is, the longer it takes for sound to reach you. A good example you can see/hear for yourself are airplanes. Your brain can also be subconsciously aware of this effect, so even in a digital environment it can further push the "distant" feel of an audio cue.

Great talk, just realized, this guy is like the Binging With Babish of game audio!

I've seen this (the audio hidden language/cypher) explained in an interview before, and it hit me that it's a little sad - having to explain it. Perhaps it could have been a little more obvious, or used in at least a couple hidden puzzles to encourage players to work on it.

iirc the community figured it out really quickly after the release of Tunic. Analyzing the music from the website, they purposefully placed the aperggios under the glyphs in the spectrograph. In the google doc "Tunic Sound Puzzle Mappings" : "On March 21st, 2022, 5 days after the release of Tunic, many members of the Finji discord were analyzing the website, which you find as the final secret in the game. We discovered in the spectrogram of the website audio that "we are the eyes of the far shore" is spelled out in the Tunic language, alongside some clear pitch shifts. We used this as a Rosetta Stone to figure out the rules of Tuneic, and began work translating musical secrets all throughout the game"

This was a kiff talk.

It's weird that all the in tune sound effect doesn't sound that special at all. It just feel very natural but now think of it, it probably would have been rather jarring if they were just regular sound effects giving that most of the effects were actually pitched rather than some kind of noice.

audio of the game is great, the music however...ooof, had to mute it the whole game
