From recording and analysing a bunch of glass things rolling and spinning around, I realised that the main “sound of rolling” is defined by a sine sweep that describes a full rotation, and this should slow down and speed up based on roll speed. Initial tests on layers and processing for a rolling glass object showed that a traditional vehicle approach of pitch ramping through a blend of layers was not going to work. The fish bowl audio needed to be readable at both very low speeds but could also reach very fast speeds for a decent amount of time. Mop buckets, dumpsters, observation tanks, beer glasses, mine carts, large jars, a spherical fish bowl, luggage, a cube of ice, an inebriated human male and more! I wanted to share a couple of details on the design and usage of Wwise for two of these. I Am Fish lets the player/fish control some unusual and bizarre vehicles which were a blast to make sounds for. So let’s dive in! (Sorry, I will try to keep piscine puns to a minimum, but they were a mainstay on our team slack so I might have to Plaice a few in ) The audio designer for the project, Ali Tocher at LookListen Audio, was asked by Audiokinetic to share a few tricks, tips and takeaways from using Wwise on the game. The game features a variety of bizarre physics-based vehicle audio, dynamic music, a bunch of systems to handle water (would you believe), as well as the challenge of making the player feel like four very different fish. It was developed by London-based Bossa Studios and is a spiritual successor to their earlier hit I Am Bread. Second, because of its shape, it can focus the sun’s rays, which in turn can even lead to a fire.ĭoes this mean that having glass bowls does not have any sense at all? No, although they are not suitable as a ‘house’ for fish, they can be filled with plants and used as a decoration.I Am Fish is a charming, physics-based adventure which sees the player take the fortunes of four intrepid fish friends into their hands as they try to escape for the sea.
To this we should add two more facts: first, the ball is very delicate, which means that it can be damaged during care activities.

Its shape makes it impossible to install technical equipment, which means that it is difficult to provide optimal living conditions for the inhabitants. The problems with keeping fish in the ball do not end there. In addition, the round shape somehow forces the fish to swim in circles, and this in turn can affect their mood and behaviour.Īnother thing is that the round glass surface acts as a lens, which is disadvantageous for both the fish and the aquarist because it causes distortion of the view. What is more, this shape of the tank makes the ratio of water surface to water volume unfavourable, which in practice makes it difficult for oxygen to dissolve. How do the curved walls of such an “aquarium” affect the fish? The lack of flat glass literally makes it impossible to find a quiet spot, which is a desirable place for timid species. Most often customers buy small spheres with a capacity of 5-13 litres, which are claustrophobic even for less demanding species. And yet, a round aquarium is no place for living creatures unless it has 45 litres. It would seem that a fish in a glass bowl is a classic, and since this view is so deeply rooted in human consciousness, it cannot be wrong. What’s so disturbing about it? Although it may seem visually appealing, in reality it doesn’t really contribute to the well-being of its inhabitants. A glass bowl with a fish is a sad sight, which can be seen not only in many films, but also in homes.
