For example, a mage doing a big spell cast with a whirling staff could have organic layers like stretching packing tape to get the electricity and spraying fences with pressure washers to get the whoosh. The layers were recorded in the real world, and they felt familiar, even though it was a fantasy presentation. One of the things we realized was that a lot of the sounds were very grounded in organics. We started forming descriptive words for the audio, like “pillowy” and rd“wispy,” and we started looking at how to approach that from a sound design perspective. We looked at series like Harry Potter and the way they treated their spellcasting, their magic, their environments and the way the music sat in those environments. We started digging into references that we thought were inspiring and appropriate. Mark Petty: One of the things we looked for at the beginning of Wonderlands was basically how to carry the sci-fi world of Borderlands and shift that focus into the descriptive words for Wonderlands - which had to do with magic and fantasy. SPIN: What was the creative process like for the sound design on Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands? In anticipation of the game’s release this Friday, SPIN spoke with Gearbox’s Audio Director Mark Petty and Creative Director Matt Cox via Zoom to chat about the upcoming title and how Wonderlands fits into the Borderlands universe. The game expands upon the fan-favorite Tiny Tina’s Assault on Dragon Keep DLC from Borderlands 2 (which was later turned into a standalone title in preparation for Wonderlands), and is every bit as magically chaotic as one would expect. Taking place as a tabletop RPG narrated by the frenzied mind of everyone’s favorite explosives-loving 13-year-old girl, Tiny Tina, Wonderlands brings magic, knights, and the whole fantasy shabang to Borderlands’ signature gameplay and style. While Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands may not be exactly like the Borderlands games that Gearbox Software fans have come to know and love over the last 13 years, the latest title in the franchise fuses aspects of what Borderlands fans appreciate most - like the humor, the characters and the sweet, sweet loot - into a genre the games haven’t yet explored: high fantasy.
