Researchers have developed a new framework to efficiently evaluate in-game sound designs using multimodal learning and reinforcement learning. This method involves pre-training a multimodal encoder to process visual and auditory game data into a shared latent space. A reinforcement learning agent is then trained on this representation. By fine-tuning only the encoder while keeping the agent's policy fixed, the system can isolate the impact of sound design changes on agent behavior, significantly reducing computational costs compared to traditional retraining methods. Experiments across various game genres demonstrated the approach's effectiveness in detecting performance differences due to altered sound, offering a practical solution for sound design evaluation.
