Today’s mission: Attended some inspiring talks at TGDF @tgdf.official
the speakers, both local and international, were absolutely brilliant 👍🏻
Also got to catch up with a few friends and chat about what we’ve all been up to.
As a rookie speaker myself, I’ll be giving an online session this year on Saturday, July 13 at 10:20 AM (Taiwan time) via TGDF’s official Twitch channel:
Feel free to tune in if you’re interested! 🙌🏻
Big thanks to TGDF for this opportunity 🙏🏻
My talk will cover “Aliisha: The Oblivion of Twin Goddesses – A Journey in Game Music Design.”
I spent a lot of time recording full gameplay footage, editing and categorizing all the interactive sound and music segments, and combining them with FMOD visuals. The whole presentation follows the game’s stage progression, with minimal text—letting the audience directly experience how music, through interactive design, delivers emotional depth and multi-layered storytelling.
Here are a few thoughts from today’s talks that really resonated with me:
🎙 Scott from @sigonogames
His sharing on translating terms like feng shui, dragon veins, and black dragon into English reminded me of how much effort we put into translating the lyrics of Aliisha’s main theme into English and Japanese. It really takes a lot of back-and-forth to find expressions that carry the same meaning in each language.
🎙 Jörg Tittel (RapidEyeMovers Ltd)
His talk was a beautiful reminder to stay in love with creativity—connect with people whose work inspires you. Even as behind-the-scenes creators, we have to stay healthy to sustain this kind of intense work. He even lost 16kg to stay in shape. That really hit home for me—honestly, one big reason I stay active is because just maintaining your past physical condition gets harder with age 😮💨
🎙 Professor Tai
Absolutely hilarious 😂 His AI use case examples kept the room laughing the whole time—from synthesized voices of Dharma Master Cheng Yen to Hsieh Long-jie.
Apparently, he usually gives super technical talks, but today’s session took a lighter tone (according to Madguy 😆)
🎙 Yama Orce (@cdpr_tc)
He shared his journey from artist to manager, and how strong leadership enables teams to deliver large-scale works while still making time for personal creative projects outside of work.
🎙 Paweł Sasko (@cdpr_tc)
He emphasized that what sets games apart from other media is interactivity. Designing choices, reviewing them, and shaping their multi-layered consequences is what makes games unique—and also what makes them incredibly challenging to create. 今日工事：來觀摩TGDF @tgdf.official 講座，不管是國內外的講師都非常厲害且精彩👍🏻，也遇到了一些朋友聊聊近況，身為菜鳥講師的我，今年也會在7/13（六）早上10:20官方的Twitch頻道做線上的分享
有興趣的朋友歡迎觀賞🙌🏻！
謝謝TGDF讓我有這次機會分享🙏🏻
議程的主題是《Aliisha》雙子神遺棄之境 - 遊戲音樂設計歷程分享，我花了不少時間，將遊戲歷程全部錄影下來，然後把音樂聲音互動的部份剪輯分類後，搭配一些Fmod的畫面，再按照玩家遊玩關卡順序的方式來介紹，希望用少一點的文字，盡量直接透過聲音和畫面的變化，來感受音樂透過互動設計後所傳達的情感，是如何多層次且細膩的體驗。
———今天聽完幾個有感觸的小地方———
@sigonogames 的 Scott
講到風水、龍脈、黑龍的英文語譯經驗讓我想到，當初Aliisha主題曲歌詞的英文、日文語譯也是一樣，花了很多心思跟譯者溝通去找出符合該語言的文字表達，接著明天要來聽涂亞庭的演講了～
RapidEyeMovers Ltd 的Jörg Tittel
他透過與台灣作曲家相識的故事，強調保持熱愛創造力的狀態很重要，請與你欣賞的人接觸。以及雖然我們從事的是幕後工作，但也一定要保持健康，才能夠維持如此強度的工作狀態，他也因此讓自己瘦了16公斤。（這個真的很有感觸，也是我運動很大的一個原因，年紀越大，光”維持以前的身體狀況”就要很努力了😮💨）
戴老師
真的很幽默😆從頭無冷場的介紹AI應用的實例，證嚴上人和謝龍介的語音合成太有趣了😂，聽狂人說戴老師之前是講很硬核的議程，只是今天風格走輕鬆路線～
@cdpr_tc 的 Yama Orce
從一位藝術家到管理職的心路歷程，做好管理的工作，才能夠有效率的完成規模更大的作品，同時有工作外的時間能從事自己喜歡的創作。
@cdpr_tc 的 Paweł Sasko
遊戲與其他多媒體作品最大的差異就在於互動，因此設計選擇、回顧選擇、選擇造成的各層領域體驗，就是需要一直打磨也最難做的部份。
