This week it's Harmonix Audio Director Eric Brosius. Eric originally hails from Boston's music scene. He was in the band Tribe along with Greg LoPiccolo and came to Looking Glass as a sound designer around the same time, working first on Terra Nova before moving on to bigger projects. He was one of the few members who continued to work on Looking Glass properties even after the company closed, doing sound design both for System Shock 2 at Irrational and Thief: Deadly Shadows at Ion Storm. I talk with Eric mostly about his approach to sound design, how he dealt with things like music vs. ambience, and how such choices became an integral part of Looking Glass's aesthetic and legacy.
If you want to know why there is no "music" slider in Thief or why stealth "works" in System Shock 2, check it out!

Yay! Finally we get to hear the man talk Thief and SS2! Thanks so much, guys! I hope Irrational posts their podcast with Eric from a year-and-a-half ago at some point, too.

Stealth works in SS2 because it's the same engine as Thief. At least that's what I always assumed.

Thanks! I've been listening to all of these. The Ken Levine one was really interesting.
