Last Oasis new Social feature: Chanting
Being forced to be constantly on the move, it is only natural that the humans of the world of Last Oasis evolved into a nomadic society. Asian nomadic tribes are among the key references for many design choices, especially when it comes to the sounds and music that characterize our game.
To pay tribute to the Tuvan/Mongolian throat singing that inspired our music, we implemented a new prototype feature that allows players to chant together.

In Last Oasis players can sing using keyboard inputs. Each numpad key is triggering a different note. Note length depends on how long player holds down the key. Modulation keys are responsible for 3 types of singing - throat and overtone singing included.
This Chants System is built from almost 800 singular samples, all live recorded, to make it sound natural. The system also uses the same musical key as the game's soundtrack, so both fit together.
