Talk description:
In this design-focused talk, Richard Flanagan will present the inspiration, methodology and implementation of
the world & systems in FRACT OSC. FRACT OSC is a first-person exploration puzzle game built on a world of
sound where player actions directly influence the musical reactivity of the game and contribute to an evolving
electronic music score. FRACT OSC achieves deep sound-reactivity by employing a custom sound engine
focused on dynamic real-time synthesis. This talk will break down the hows & whys of the world structure,
a deep dive into aspects of musical puzzle design, some mistakes along the way and a live demo showcasing
the game.
