APL-A is an exciting new platform feature that allows developers to do more advanced audio mixing in our skills’ audio experiences. All of this happens at runtime, meaning we don’t need to spend a lot of time in development tweaking every audio clip by hand. And, it’s done in a simple and straightforward way that doesn’t slow down the player’s experience with our games.
João Costa, our Sound Designer, spoke about our experience converting The Vortex’s audio content to APL-A. You can also try it out for yourself in the game right now!
Quick Links allow you to launch directly into our games from a link
The new Quick Links feature provides a way for you to launch directly into our games from a link on the web. As our Marketing Lead Carolina Rocha discussed during the conference, this provides a quick and easy way for you to try out new games on this exciting platform; now, instead of having to remember an invocation phrase, you can just click a link and send the skill directly to the device of your choice.
In fact, you may have already seen these links throughout this post! But if not, here’s one for The 3% Challenge and one for The Vortex – try them out now!
