Designing spatial experiences is not only about what people can do in a space. It is about what they should feel there. This article details the frameworks and pipelines that helped built the emotional journey of The Green Spurt.

In this follow-up, I document my process of generating a voiceover for The Green Spurt using Dia by Nari Labs, experimenting with audio prompts, non-verbal tags, and audio editing to craft a fitting emotional tone for one of the game’s ending scenes.
