Game sound specialist company Changjogongjakso is hosting the 1st AI Game Sound Design Challenge with GXG 2026 (AI GSDC), co-organized with AI platform developer Odia and indie musician platform Likers. Participant recruitment opened July 24; submissions close August 23 at 11:59 PM.
The competition asks participants to take official game footage provided by 12 sponsoring companies and create entirely new soundscapes for them using the Gamesound.ai platform — BGM, sound effects, and voice all redesigned from scratch. The core creative challenge is reinterpreting each game’s scenes and atmosphere through sound.
Participating Game Companies
The 12 companies providing footage: Com2uS, Hagin, AK Interactive, Endream, Blue Potion Games, Story Taco, Tripla Games, Dream Motion, Red Ginko Games, HiperCent, BirdLetter, and Ubis. Participants choose whichever footage they want to work with from this pool.
The Platform
Gamesound.ai provides a 20,000-sound library alongside AI-based BGM, sound effects, and voice generation; AI audio search; multi-track audio editing and middleware functions; and project management — covering the full workflow from sound discovery through creation, editing, and delivery in a single platform. Changjogongjakso developed and operates it as a dedicated game sound production tool.
