作者簡介

Guy Somberg has been programming audio engines for his entire career. From humble beginnings writing a low-level audio mixer for slot machines, he quickly transitioned to writing game audio engines for all manner of games. He has written audio engines that shipped AAA games like Hellgate: London, Bioshock 2, and The Sims 4, as well as smaller titles like Minion Master, Tales From the Borderlands, and Game of Thrones. Guy has also given several talks at the Game Developer Conference and at CppCon.

When he's not programming or writing game audio programming books, he can be found at home reading, playing video games, and playing the flute.

作者簡介(中文翻譯)

Guy Somberg一直以來都在從事音頻引擎的編程工作。從最初為老虎機編寫低級音頻混音器開始,他很快轉向為各種遊戲編寫遊戲音頻引擎。他曾經為一些AAA級遊戲如《地獄門:倫敦》、《生化奇兵2》和《模擬市民4》等編寫音頻引擎,也為一些較小的遊戲如《小小隨從大師》、《邊緣禁地的故事》和《權力遊戲》等編寫音頻引擎。Guy還在遊戲開發者大會和CppCon上發表過幾次演講。

當他不在編程或撰寫遊戲音頻編程書籍時,他會在家閱讀、玩視頻遊戲和吹奏長笛。
