Charbagh was a project I did during semester 2 of my 3rd year of University. It was predominantly an exercise in interactive sound design, with different footsteps depending on the material the player was walking on, as well as rustling leaves, wind sound effects, tall grass sound effects, splashing in water, and a dynamic score that changed depending on the players actions. The setting for this game was a Charbagh garden, a Persian style of garden that is based of the 4 gardens of paradise as described the in Quran. These gardens are typically focussed on stimulation of the senses, e.g smelling flowers, the sound of moving water, etc. This made it a natural fit for a project that was an exploration of sound design that lacked any major progression goals.
