SLASH THE OVERHEAD!

OUR JOURNEY TO ESTABLISHING HUKLINE AUDIO

After 18 years of working within the corporate sphere, as Sound Designer & Audio Director, at various game development studios, I was able to identify a critical gap in the industry that inspired me to create HUKLINE AUDIO. My extensive experience revealed several key challenges that game developers face when it came to acquiring high-quality audio:

1. Limited Bandwidth for Audio Personnel:

Game development studios often focus their resources on hiring artists, programming teams, QA, etc, with little time and resources left to spend on researching skills related to game audio, often leading to confusion about music composers vs. sound designers vs. audio design engineers. Finding the right talent for audio production is challenging, and creating a growth plan for sound designers and composers is even more complex.

2. Stunted Audio Team Growth:

Many studios operate with minimal audio teams due to limited funds where it can be as small as having a single contributor, keeping attrition risks really high. Building a robust audio team not only requires hiring skilled professionals but also involves significant investments in equipment and software licenses (often single seat).

3. Real Estate Constraints:

Audio production requires specific real estate considerations. Each sound designer typically needs a minimum of around 200 square feet of space, complete with soundproofing treatments. This space requirement is substantial compared to the space needed for animators, artists, and programmers. As a result, studios, especially startups or service-based ones, struggle to allocate the necessary resources to build and maintain audio rooms.
Recognizing these challenges, we saw an opportunity to provide a comprehensive solution for game developers. By offering complete game audio production and implementation services, the intent is to alleviate the burden of building and maintaining in-house audio capabilities. Our services not only include the expertise and talent required for top-notch audio production but also eliminate the need for significant real estate investments.
