Hey all, 2017 has been a bountiful year for us! From new staff to interesting projects, this has truly been a great journey for the entire team.
2017 Retrospective, Plans for 2018 onwards
Post-GDC 2017 Thoughts
Being a newcomer to GDC, I didn’t know what to expect. I went with the intention to merely soak in audio technical knowledge but ended up learning so much more about myself and was blessed to observe/be part of this humbling experience. Surrounded by incredibly talented individuals, it didn’t matter if you were an industry veteran or a fresh graduate/student — there is something to learn from everybody. What makes this community such a special one?
“Mr. Catt” OST Now Released!
LOUD JUST GOT LOUDER.
As the title suggests, we’ve been busy updating and upgrading everything here at IMBA Interactive!
It’s been a crazy, exhilarating time for us and though the year’s not yet over, we wanted to take the time to share just what those updates are as well as to show our appreciation to everyone who made them possible.
Talent feature: Adam
Meet Adam, my super talented, crazy, flamboyant buddy back from polytechnic days! There was no other better person I could think of to fit the role of the equally energetic satay man, Firdaus, in the acclaimed SG50 game, KAN-CHEONG! Kopitiam Saga by Mojocat.
Process: The Music of Mixed Rice Stall
Mojocat is such a joy to work with; they are a bunch that appreciate good humour. The whole Kan-Cheong: Kopitiam Saga game was inspired by colloquial mannerisms and local Singaporean behaviour. Listening to their stories gets us easily psyched to make each piece of music that brings out more of every character. One particular piece was the mixed rice stall, locally known as the “cai png” stall (literally translated to dishes and rice).
Process: Game Start 2015 music
Gamestart 2014 was really a blast for IMBA Interactive. This was the first time IMBA Interactive interacted (haha) with consumers visiting a B2B game convention. Talking to different people at the convention reminded us of our original love which was bringing game sound and music to consumers. And yes, it’s awesome to be able to be part of Singapore’s very own game convention promoting indie game developers and educating people on game audio. DING! Achievement unlocked (that’s what it felt like)!
Meet Rex
You guys might have noticed our friendly mascot lingering about our Facebook page and the main site. Meet Rex, the boisterous yet adorable new mascot for IMBA designed by the talented Johel Rivera (who also did our main animation and character designs by the way!). We think Johel did a fantastic job at capturing the expression and gestures of Rex from try-hard fierce to kooky!
What does IMBA think of GameStart?
A HUGE thank you for those who dropped by GameStart and our booth at the event. It was a privilege for us to exhibit and present at a much-loved local game event, and the best one yet!Read More →
