I have a question. For the sounds of the dragons in DAI, what animals etc were they inspired by or based on? @bioware @biomarkdarrah justinmasse. I would really love to know.

Presley HynesCrown @phrequencies
From Mike, the sound designer that made them:
I used pigs, horses, human vocals, lions, tigers, all mixed together and morphed to create the dragons for dragon age! no real inspiration on any specific animal, I just combined different animals until I landed on something unique.

The best part about WFH is that when I say lines out loud to gut check how they sound, only my cats hear me.

Sometimes I wish we could ship the game with the ability to toggle on all the temporary banter the writers threw in as placeholder because we didn't know what the level actually looked like yet.

Jos Hendriks @sjosz
I've actually been thinking about whether I should document my Current Project Thing so that it could eventually become a cool thing to talk about.

Patrick Weekes @patrickweekes
You absolutely should. That'd be a great GDC talk someday.

I was telling my niece not to be worried about what she chooses for college. A lot of people end up moving into a different profession or area anyways.

To prove my point- what did you go to school for/specialize in and what are you actually doing for work now? #careers #college

I went to animation school. Went into indie games in a lot of “generalist artist/designer” roles and then transitioned fully into design. Now I design bosses and creatures for BioWare.

Crystal McCord @mrscmccord
Would you describe a huge difference between designing creatures and animating creatures?

Melissa Janowicz deedlite
Yes it’s really different, I decide how the creature functions in terms of its actions and how it will fight the player. I have conversations with my animator and we brainstorm how the creature will “perform” and move and they will animate it.

It’s almost like... I provide the rules and the logical side. We do talk about it together but the animator puts on the performance, like an actor, and can do anything that fits the rules for the creature.
