Wwise Implementation
We added Wwise to Outpost 19
Why Wwise?
Wwise is an amazing tool that has revolutionized how we implement audio into Outpost 19. It opens up a world of possibilities, allowing us to create soundscapes that are immersive and responsive to the game’s dynamics. With Wwise, we’re able to make every aspect of sound design—from the subtle hum of the environment to intense battle FX—come to life.
Immersive and Dynamic Audio
One of Wwise’s standout features is how it helps us build a more immersive and dynamic audio experience. The ability to seamlessly adjust sounds to match the game's atmosphere keeps players engaged, ensuring that the audio feels reactive and alive. Whether it’s the distant rumble of gunfire or the tension in the ambient sound, Wwise enhances the overall gameplay experience.
Keeping It Interesting
Wwise enables us to create the exact audio landscape we envision for Outpost 19. Subconsciously, audio plays a massive role in shaping how players experience a game. For example, something as simple as footsteps can become boring if the sound repeats too often. Wwise allows us to implement subtle acoustic changes that keep the audio fresh and interesting, ensuring that even the smallest details contribute to a richer experience.
Future-Proofing with Wwise
As we continue developing Outpost 19, Wwise will act as the foundation for our audio, from the lobby music to the smallest sound cues on the map. It gives us the flexibility to scale and expand the game’s audio as we grow, ensuring that every new feature and update has a seamless auditory layer to match.
