LucasArts made a new system in Monkey Island 2 that made the musics change gradually when the character entered a new enviroment, but with no fade. The music would change a few bars later, mute a inatrument, bring a new instrument in. Very elegant.
Ah, I remember Woodtick on Scabb Island in Monkey Island 2. The entire town played the same theme, but depending on which shop you entered, the instruments would change.
The whole video's point is to get to the fmod ad. So the whole video is an ad, that's why it stays very relevant to the topic, the whole video was built around it.
There you are watching an awesome Scruffy video when all of a sudden you're a Game Creator. You didn't ask for this. You didn't choose this. And yet, there it is.
I’d love to see a game by scruffy where he narrates the entire thing Edit: name suggestion: Adventures with scruffy and it’s a game about him making the game while narrating it
I was blown away when I realized that in Mario Maker 2, the sound effect when placing an object changes pitch to follow the music track's (inaudible) "foreground", while a quiet "background" instrumental is always playing. Basically, spamming items in the editor makes a complete instrumental track. It's real neat.
Super Mario Odyssey does this too with certain things: - The Green Broodal hat has a noise that spins to the boss music - The electric wires buzzing matches the music, even in Bowser Kingdom, where it's a Koto
When he first said fmod, I paused the video to start up a game (Terratech) and then the title screen said “This game is made with unity and *_fmod_* ” and i kinda freaked out
now this is how a sponsorship should work. The basic education of how you can do it yourself is there, but the service adds a reason and ease in upgrading without sounding like a requirement unless you need the higher levels. And yea, as a one man game dev, I'm probably going to use this. _Even then, how many of you indie developers have a budget above $500,000?_
It's amazing how when Scruffy does ads they're actually fitting for both his channel and the video topic and aren't Raid Shadow Legends shoved into a video that has nothing to do with video games.
It's seemless & related to the topic, not obnoxious & intrusive (sick of Nord VPN sponsors on music channel videos, or Raid Shadow Legends during Pokémon videos) The only other seemless one I've seen is a guy with a G-Fuel sponsor during a Pokémon video, where he drinks it & it heals his HP bar & they're usually video game themed versions of their drinks. Pretty clever.
one of my favorite examples of adaptive audio is splatoon 1 splatfests! when you walked around the plaza, depending on which squid sister you were closer to, her vocal track would play louder while the volume of the other squid sister's vocal track would decrease
Nice job integrating the ad in a way that's still relevant to the video and not nearly as distracting to the viewer as most sponsors are. It's a refreshing change. Glad you got a sponsor!
The threshold scenario kind of reminds me of Fire Emblem, where upon entering a battle animation sequence the music changes to become more intense and then reverts back to a more calm and relaxed variant on the overhead view.
By the end I was like "Wait a sec...did Scruffy get a sponsor? This is so well made I might not have noticed!" Honestly! I want to experiment with Fmod after seeing this groovetastic showcase!
Destiny 2 has a ton of Adaptive Audio, through layered bits of the various tracks in the game, weaving-in relevant changes when the player(s) in the activity progress. It adds so much to the gameplay. Makes you feel like the world reacts to your actions, rather than just static music tracks playing. Music changing fluidly to match, without being suddenly cut off jarringly, is such a small touch, but adds so, so much to the feel.
Your videos always feel like the same emotion you get from watching something like "how it's made" at 2am on a weekend night - calming, educational, engaging, and overall just very soft and awesome all at once! Love your work :D 💕
I absolutely loved this video! As I do with all of your videos. I love it when a channel collabs with or is sponsored by a company relevent to their content. It feels more personal and the narrator's often feel more interested.
Every single video you create is honest to god art. The level of professionalism your videos contain is jaw dropping, and I can't help but love every second of it. The only thing I have a problem with is the fact that you don't have more subscribers.
Y'know I wasn't expecting an ad at all, but you integrated it really well into this one and kept it incredibly relevant. It felt like the natural progression of the video. I always appreciate the work you do, Scruffy, keep it up. : )
I came to this video from a maybe uncommon route: A game developer and youtuber had a video releasing their game -> the sound effects in it were loud and harsh, almost painful even -> from a dev perspective I wondered about smoothing audio in my own games, but had no vocabulary for it and wondered if it was possible -> I searched for "audio smoothing" on the Unity Asset Store and found fmod -> it listed this video, and the audio here sounds so much smoother and less harsh, even compared to normal videos, let alone that first game. I still don't know what I'm doing here, and haven't usually thought that much about the audio in games, but this is kind of inspiring. I still lack the vocabulary and don't know what goes into things being harsh or not though.
i think my favorite kind of adaptive audio is an easter egg in pokemon b/w(?) when the player walks, little drums play in the background alongside whatever is playing, its heccin wholesome and cute.
The part that is REALLY interesting is when you make adaptive VISUALS, relative to audio. For example, a note sliding down the track in Guitar Hero is a simple one to understand, but a neat modern example is Spamton's phone in Deltarune chapter 2- it only plays the ringing animation when the ringing sound plays in the game music. Simple features like these make games feel so much more reactive
I am the sound designer for games I make with my friends and oh man does FMOD make audio fun. It took a somewhat dreaded task of putting music and sound effects into a game and turned into something I love putting together.
I literally just today finished my final exam in my sound for video games class, where we were working with fmod And I discovered your channel only a couple days ago? This video is fate. Thank you for the refresher, it was super cool to watch this and go "oh I know how to do that!" With every example :)
Scruffy videos make me so happy ^.^ I like learning about the stuff in video games that makes me enjoy them so much all the while appreciating the effort that goes into these videos to make em look snazzy. This one is definitely a favorite of mine!
whats MORE, there're bunch of amazing games accomplished their amazing sound performance via fmod. And thanks for all the audio workers who contributed to make game more like an art!!!!
Aside from the informative side, I just sooooo much love all the sounds you put in your videos. That adaptive audio level up sound was so smooth! So much quality!
This was basically an ad for fmod - A very good one. :) You explained it really well and made it interesting to watch as well. I'll definitely keep fmod in mind for the future if I want to make games.
Banjo Kazooie/Tooie and DK64 had really awesome adaptive audio. I love how Grant Kirkhope chose to have multiple versions of the same overall theme depending on where you are in the level and it even extends to boss music (in Tooie/DK64) which is usually a remix of a levels theme
This is a sponsor I don't mind at all. It's un-intrusive with its transition and it is absolutely relevant to the video as a whole, which makes the transition so smooth, (much like the tier 2 game 3 example) that you hardly even notice that the segment is sponsored. This is how you do sponsorships. Excellent work, Scruffy!
Personally I think of DOOM when I hear this explanation because of how the gameplay and music work together to make the experience never be the same as another time you play.
I never expected FMOD to sponsor a video... I have used FMOD to implement audio in multiple things, but didnt really think of it as something youd see as a sponsor.
More Scruffy content! I really love the work you put into these videos and it's fascinating to learn these new and fresh concepts out music and sound design. It's easy to see your passion behind every video you make!
Pretty cool that you seem to have almost gotten a sponsor with fmod. I'm not sure if you got paid directly by them, but their help with bumping up the production quality on this video seems pretty cool, I'm assuming they made some quick black and white 3D games to help get live footage with.
Actually, I created these "games" on my own from scratch, either in Blender or by animating in After Effects. I'm glad they make convincing live footage!
@@ScruffyMusic - Ah, I kind of just figured that you would have used FMOD itself in the 3d game audio demonstrations. I already though the 2D games were mock ups since you do a lot of drawings and animations on the channel, but you doing the 3D stuff also is pretty cool. I forgot if you did anything with Blender before this video, but that makes sense since you've also talked about Pikmin models before.
I really love this video and the insight it provides! Though, I'd disagree on the solution to that fourth game. We have plenty of games to refer to with basic collectibles that you pick up in droves, but only play one sound every time. Mario, for example, has it's coins. Even in the very first game, most people find the sound of getting a coin satisfying, especially in large numbers. I think this is because the first portion of the sound (before it fades away) chains perfectly into itself, creating what almost seems like a new sound altogether when you collect a lot in a row. If the pitch of that sound was constantly changing, it'd be more likely to come off as annoying. Sorry if I'm explaining this poorly, I'm not well versed in the terminology of this topic. I hope I added something to the conversation, though!
Didn't even think I was interested in sound design but this stuff is incredibly interesting liked "why mario music is so catchy" great content friend keep it up
Hey Scruffy! Just wanted to say how much I love this channel. All your videos are super fun and informative, with such a neat style! I look forward to every upload. Keep being yourself, man
Typically if players are to collect multiple items with a sound effect, they would just change the pitch by a half tone and even sometimes add a tiny jingle if you collect everything (like red coins in Mario)
For the record, everyone: This is why you hear boss music.
superfalconpunch2 this is a great comment. Thank you
This is wonderful
Amazing
yes
ESPECIALLY Pikmin boss music
LucasArts made a new system in Monkey Island 2 that made the musics change gradually when the character entered a new enviroment, but with no fade. The music would change a few bars later, mute a inatrument, bring a new instrument in. Very elegant.
SCUMM was an amazing system and so ahead of its time helping redefine adventure games tbh
Ah, I remember Woodtick on Scabb Island in Monkey Island 2. The entire town played the same theme, but depending on which shop you entered, the instruments would change.
I’ve never heard someone drop an ad read and stay so relevant to the topic of the video, this was wonderful
Yes I was thinking that too
he totally made content out of the ad, i almost didn’t notice
The whole video's point is to get to the fmod ad. So the whole video is an ad, that's why it stays very relevant to the topic, the whole video was built around it.
you could say the ad was
AD-aptive to the type of video he was making
That wasnt even an ad read, it was just a part of the video
Scruffy
*secretly teaching you how to make your own video game*
EchoTheWorld he’s like extra credits, but not complete shit
Extra credits has in the past made some incredible things. It is hard tough, to always be pumping out useful content week to week.
@TuxKat
why are you hating on extra credits?
There you are watching an awesome Scruffy video when all of a sudden you're a Game Creator. You didn't ask for this. You didn't choose this. And yet, there it is.
ChillEdge 7 you don't need to be a creator. Be a sound artist instead :D
Bro wtf stop making such professional level content you're bringing my expectations of other youtubers to professional standards
The church of yee ikr
Why does that intro always make me happy and relaxed
Because it's happy and relaxing? c:
@@Ky-Nas that's a good answer. I am happier now.
What does the intro say? I can't seem to place it
@@Lamineth "Floo fluh duh! Hello, I'm scruffy, and today..."
@@comradebusman3 huh. Well, now I know? Lol
I never thought an ad would ever be so interesting to hear about.
I’d love to see a game by scruffy where he narrates the entire thing
Edit: name suggestion: Adventures with scruffy and it’s a game about him making the game while narrating it
Nootaboot Bastion X Scruffy collaboration coming
Oh my god, I'm so down for this. I could be playing Sonic 06 and Scruffy's voice would make it an A+ experience!
Just talking about how he made the game
That should be a real thing
Scruffy's ''The Stanley Parable' By 'Scruffy' as narrated by 'Scruffy'

@@amandamakin1542the power line sound also changes chords when the music does
The quality of your visuals and animations are insane. It makes such complex ideas so easy to understand.
Its really the best of its kind!
Scruffy is the only person I know who can seamlessly transition to a sponsor while at the same time getting me excited to hear about them
The only teacher anyone needs is this fine LAD
*music theory teacher
For those that aren’t aware, LAD stands for Lovable Audio Dude
When he first said fmod, I paused the video to start up a game (Terratech) and then the title screen said “This game is made with unity and *_fmod_* ”
and i kinda freaked out
Haha! Fmod is actually an extremely common tool in the world of game development. If you start paying attention, you'll see it everywhere!
Fall Guys has fmod in huge text in the loading screen
Along with Cadence of Hyrule having it too
What a wonderful game that is
And also Celeste I guess
I would die if I could hear scruffy’s intro on repeat forever in heaven
You would *love* his song titled "What I Love"
Here is the link: ua-cam.com/video/QoIgUDBHbm8/v-deo.html
No you won't, you'll get bored of the few seconds
Andy Ren Woah really, who could've guessed?
i’d love to see one of your videos turned into a rhythm game chart
If I had the patience to spend the time to make a ten minute stepmania chart i'd do it
now this is how a sponsorship should work.

Don't you just love it when a sponsor is actually suited for the person they're sponsoring? That was magnificent!

This is A pretty high quality good lesson channel about audio effects for games
Its amazing how this video went from informative to advertisement in a second and don't feel abnoxious, is wonderful.

THE THRESHOLD
This was a pretty neat and digestible tutorial, thanks!
The hold
These videos are so cool, how they integrate both music and videogame design in one!
I absolutely loved this video! As I do with all of your videos. I love it when a channel collabs with or is sponsored by a company relevent to their content. It feels more personal and the narrator's often feel more interested.
Great sound design for this video. No one has picked on that, but the sounds were really soothing and satisfying.
I've always wondered how Scruffy manages to create such unique, high quality content. His videos are really unique on UA-cam.
The visuals for your videos are always SOOO good! I really appreciate how much time and care you put into them. Keep it up man!
Every single video you create is honest to god art. The level of professionalism your videos contain is jaw dropping, and I can't help but love every second of it. The only thing I have a problem with is the fact that you don't have more subscribers.
Scruffy can even make a 9 minute commercial interesting and fun to watch. God I love this guys channel
The ad for Fmod at the end is the only UA-camr ad I've ever actually enjoyed listening to!
Y'know I wasn't expecting an ad at all, but you integrated it really well into this one and kept it incredibly relevant. It felt like the natural progression of the video. I always appreciate the work you do, Scruffy, keep it up. : )
words cannot describe how viscerally uncomfortable i got when the racecar entered the tunnel and the sound did not change
You know you have a good relations with your audience when they applaud you for making a video about a sponsor.
Damn, you really upped to production value
Loving it
This was the highest quality ad I've ever seen. You sir get my like.
I came to this video from a maybe uncommon route: A game developer and youtuber had a video releasing their game -> the sound effects in it were loud and harsh, almost painful even -> from a dev perspective I wondered about smoothing audio in my own games, but had no vocabulary for it and wondered if it was possible -> I searched for "audio smoothing" on the Unity Asset Store and found fmod -> it listed this video, and the audio here sounds so much smoother and less harsh, even compared to normal videos, let alone that first game.

Use me as a scruffy knows his stuffy button.
_click_
No stop like begging
Mr. Scruffy, I've never seen a video so seamlessly transition from a very interesting topic to a sponsorship. Good job.
Your voice is so soothing it's insane. This was just in my recommended and I clicked on it and was immediately put at ease.

Damn! The effort put into this is amazing
LOVE THIS SO MUCH! i enter in the "videgame" sound world this year and that kind of video brings me so much inspiration!
thank you, Scruffy!
Me: sad

Me: Happy

This OOZES style and love. Not to mention, its educational. Im already in love with this channel.
The ironic thing is, is that the music and sounds in the video is fire. Really cool video!
Lovely and informative as always! Seeing your videos in my inbox is always a treat.
This is soooooooo good. Never realized how much of game audio I take for granted until now. This is officially my favorite ad ever
I’m so glad your channel is blowing up. Your music is so soothing and calming.
Holy shit a sponsor that actually naturally flows into the video!?
this whole video was a wonderfully crafted sponsor
This was fantastic. I've never heard of FMOD and now I love it. Great work!
I never expected FMOD to sponsor a video... I have used FMOD to implement audio in multiple things, but didnt really think of it as something youd see as a sponsor.
