Soundscape

This is a personal project of mine that I took up right after finishing development on In The Chamber.

As I did audio for that game, I came across several techniques that there was no use for in that game but that I knew I wanted to try my hand on.

The result is this 4 week project where I created a fully diegetic soundscape including:

• Different footstep sounds depending on which terrain the player steps on.

• Randomized pitch-shift on each footstep sound so that the player does not hear the exact same sound over and over. 

• A wind that increases in volume the higher up the player is.

• Echoes in enclosed areas

• Sound effects that pan from left to right speaker depending on which way the player is facing.

• Sound effects that get muffled when an object is placed between the player and the sound source.

The project was made in Unreal Engine 5 with assets from Environments Bundle 6 Maps by SnowyTrain Market
