Broken Compass
Broken Compass is walking simulator made for the 2019 Global Game Jam. During this Game Jam, I decided to use Wwise for the first time. Learning audio middleware during a game jam was a stressful experience, but I would say that it was very much worth the trouble.
Through this project, I learned the basics of working with Wwise. I imported my sounds into Wwise as WAV files, placed my footstep sounds into a random container, created events for each corresponding set of sounds, and created states for each section of the game. Broken Compass' story beats I created states that would line up with each of these beats accordingly. I had help implementing footstep sounds partially through Unity, and dialogue was not implemented by me due to game jam time constraints. However, I did record and process all of the game's sound effects and dialogue by myself.
