Marathon with Chase Combs, Jennie LaBonte, Jeramy Koepping and Keith Sjoquist

In this episode, we got to chat with Chase Combs, Jennie LaBonte, Jeramy Koepping and Keith Sjoquist from Bungie's audio team about their brand-new extraction shooter, Marathon.

This is the type of games that is extremely demanding from an audio perspective, and so we knew that this would make for a wildly interesting subject to tackle on the show. We dive deep into the needs that came from the genre, explore how the team got to create its very distinct sounding aesthetics.

Our guests were extremely generous when it comes to sharing their approaches and reasonings behind. This openness led us to talk about how they included mixing into their workflows, how they iterated on concepts and used feedback to balance things, how they've kept their aim set on player perceptions throughout the development of Marathon and so much more. We got pretty deep into the weeds here. Hope you enjoy!
