Sound Design
Cyberpunk Alley – Sound Design
OVERVIEW
We collaborated with 'Neon Byte Studios' to create the complete sound design for a key level in their upcoming sci-fi RPG, "Chrome City." The level, a rain-slicked cyberpunk alley, required a rich and immersive auditory environment to bring the world to life.The Challenge
The goal was to create a soundscape that felt futuristic and alive. This meant going beyond simple rain sounds. We needed to design a multitude of subtle audio cues: the hum of neon signs, the clatter of robotic street sweepers, distant sirens, futuristic vehicle pass-bys, and the muffled sound of music coming from a nearby club.
Our Approach
We created a multi-layered ambient track that could loop seamlessly. We recorded custom Foley for the player’s footsteps on wet pavement and created dozens of one-shot sound effects for interactive objects in the environment. All sounds were designed to be dynamic, changing in volume and direction based on the player’s position to enhance immersion.
The Result
The sound design for Cyberpunk Alley has been highlighted in early game previews as a key factor in the game’s immersive world-building. The rich, detailed soundscape makes the environment feel tangible and alive, drawing players deeper into the world of “Chrome City.”
