Airwiggles launches the Game Audio Implementournament – here’s how to take part:

In this one-month challenge (9th of September to the 9th of October) you are tasked with designing and integrating your own audio into our custom-built game, Airwiggles Asteroids! 

Once completed you will submit a build of your game to be judged by our panel of judges for an opportunity to win big prizes from Kilohearts and We Love Indies.

In addition to the competition we’re also hosting five brand new live talks over the next few weeks, all about game audio implementation and sound design. 

Check out this trailer for an overview of what to expect:
