The session video featuring CONNECT+ECHO at Nexon Developers Conference 26 (NDC 26) has been released on the official NDC YouTube channel.

In this session, Kazuki Kitamura and Heejo Choi spoke on the topic:
“You Called Us at the End Again? — A Look at the Development Structure Where Sound Always Comes in Late”
sharing insights into sound design in modern game development.

Starting from the challenges that often arise when sound joins the development process in the later stages, the session explored how sound should be considered not merely as a finishing touch, but as an important part of the system that shapes the overall game experience. They also shared how sound can be incorporated into the design process from the early stages of development.

The video offers a look at the session as it was presented on the day.
The session is in Korean, but subtitles in other languages are available through YouTube’s auto-translation feature.
