For the 2025 edition of the BCC Innovation Festival, we’re creating a little game, that will act as a sort of on-boarding for people looking to apply.
In this game, a friendly robot will ask the player to solve some riddles and find some objects. This must not interfere with the audio stream, as users can talk to each other.
Whenever the robot gives out information, it has a speech bubble and one of the yap sounds plays. There are several of these, and they’re meant to mimic an explanatory prosody.
Whenever the player provides an incorrect answer, the nay chime is played.
Finally, when a level is completed, we play the yeah sound. This is a longer joyful jingle, which would get annoying pretty quickly if it was overplayed.
All these sounds were created by playing around with the 8-bit instrument package in Logic Pro. Except for the nay, they’re all built around major triads.
