Hi all,
Game Sound Con is done as of yesterday! Viviana and I had great fun presenting and hopefully the videos for the talks will be up soon for GSC attendees. Thanks a bunch to James Mello, Emily Meo,
and Doug Walters for their help with my talk and it was great that they were all able to attend too! There was a big spreadsheet of game audio learning resources posted that might
be of interest: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1fcuhGEesLC_PWCwY3dIwLgF774sKswOwIcZECWiH7Xo/edit#gid=0For any of you feeling a time pinch and wanting more time with us, feel free to the link to continue at any time: https://School.VideoGameAudio.com/continue.htm
