・Session Summary
A survey of the world of video game audio shows that
“Interactive/Adaptive Music” has picked up some buzz and that there are a few companies implementing it in their games already. However, there are a number of areas in the field that have room for development.
Video game music is there to move the user in various ways. This session will cover the ways music was used in Lost Planet 2, as well as present some thoughts on the keywords “transitions” and “triggers”. After that, the styles of internal composers, as well what they are currently doing will be discussed.

・Session Flow
Three examples of how interactive music was implemented in the
coop-based Lost Planet 2 will be discussed. Basic concepts and actual examples in MT Framework will be explained and previewed.

1. Designing BGM with every player in mind during multiplayer games.
2. Ways to seamlessly connect BGM for players in different situations as they join up and enter the same situation.
3. How to regulate sounds as distance increases or shortens.

Now for an analysis of what in-house composers are currently facing and a summary of interactive/adaptive music.

We will discuss the style and strengths of Capcom’s composers with an emphasis on “total quality control”. This topic includes technical design, music direction, as well as information sharing and work environment creation.
