00:00Hi, my name is Diego Sambataro and I am the sound designer at Stormind Games.

00:16In a world where any sound that you make could be your last, the design around how sound

00:21creates gameplay is critical to what makes A Quiet Place The Road Ahead fun.

00:26Every action in The Road Ahead demands precision, as even the slightest movement can create

00:33sound.

00:34The world that we built mirrors our real world, where different materials not only create

00:39different types of noise, but that sound occurs at different loudness.

00:48If you are walking on sand, sound is diffusing to the ground and results in quiet footsteps.

00:56Walking on compacted dirt may be a little bit louder, and rusty metal, well, you are

01:02going to want to move slowly to keep volume levels low.

01:06And not everything is just ground, as additional elements are layered on top.

01:12Leaves, water, glass and other materials may be scattered across surfaces, each having

01:19their own loudness, which might attract the attention of the creatures.

01:25If you thought the simple act of walking around was hard in this apocalypse, every

01:30formerly mundane movement is now a danger to your life.

01:35Want to open a door or drawer?

01:37You'd better do it carefully and quietly.

01:42Throughout your survival story, you'll face a variety of objects that you'll need to interact

01:46with in order to progress.

01:49Each one has the potential to create live-ending sounds, so it will take intense focus to make

01:55it through alive.

01:59The sound detection system that we built takes into account the loudness of any noise

02:03the player makes, as well as the duration of the noise.

02:08If you build up a combination of loud or lengthy noises that exceed a defined threshold, the

02:14creatures will have heard enough to find your location, even from far away, and that's game over.

02:20There are a few difficulty levels that will change how much noise you are allowed to make,

02:28and the creatures have a few tricks of their own to break the rules and hunt you faster.

02:34After all, it wouldn't be a quiet place if survival was easy.
