Wwise Up On Air - Community Spotlight Feature

I got a really cool shout-out from the awesome Damian Kastbauer on the Audiokinetic Twitch channel!

Damian checked out some of blog posts I made during my final year of university when I was working on an audio re-design for the Unity 3D Adventure Game as my final year honours project.

For this project, I muted all the original sounds and music running natively from the Unity audio engine, and designed and implemented new audio into the game using Wwise. As a method of logging my progress while working on the project, I wrote weekly blog posts about the challenges I would face trying to implement various audio features into the game, and how I eventually found solutions to said challenges…which usually involved a lot of tinkering in C# and breaking scripts!

Audiokinetic went live on Twitch. Catch up on their VOD now.

Thanks for reading my blog Damian!

School of Video Game Audio - Wwise Demo Reel

Here's the Wwise demo reel I made after taking the fantastic Wwise course at the School of Video Game Audio. Overall, I’m pleased with the audio assets I produced for my audio re-design of the Wwise Adventure Game, and I feel that I’ve been able to implement them appropriately via the Unity-Wwise integration. However, I also feel that my interactive mixing skills definitely need a lot more attention! My source ambiences such as the windmill and river still feel a bit too loud in the mix in places, and I didn't get to spend as much time as I would have liked on getting my SFX objects consistently organised into actor-mixers, which would have allowed me a much finger degree of control at the mixing stage. Still, on the whole, I'm pleased with what I was able to accomplish during my time on the course, and I feel that I now have a decent grasp on the fundamentals of Wwise. Thanks for all your help and guidance Leonard + Viviana!
