The sound of Venba was aimed with one thought in mind: ''Hear the sounds of my Indian home''. Neha's motto for creating the soundscape for the game was that it had to be authentic to the culture the game represents. This meant understanding the history, the culture, and of course the cooking methods. Neha will explain the recording process for the variety of foods, using the appropriate kitchenware and being aware of how to best represent the subtilties that are part of everyday life in a South Asian household. A variety of videos demonstrating the recording process as well as their in-game usage will be demonstrated.

Takeaway

Attendees will also be shown the technical work behind creating the sounds.
