Dev Update (20/01/2023)

Added 2023-01-20 13:06:18 +0000 UTC

Hi!

Just a quick update, this time related to weapon audio.

With all these new weapon related features that have been implemented recently, I decided to start working on improving the weapon audio.

This weapon audio improvement is complicated process because it requires a little bit of research and knowledge gathering from me and my audio freelancer. We have had couple of meetings already with this topic and the direction is definite right, but there's some configurations still to be made with weapon reverb for example.

This new audio workflow involves weapon specific audio that has the following files for each weapon, let's take AKS-74U for example:

Main files

AKS-74U_Fire (with 6 variations)
AKS-74U_Fire_Suppressed (with 6 variations)
AKS-74U_Magazine_Out
AKS-74U_Magazine_In
AKS-74U_Bolt_Release

+ Reverb related tail sounds and some detail sounds

Distant files

AKS-74U_Fire_Distant_Near (4 variations)
AKS-74U_Fire_Distant_Far (2 variations)
AKS-74U_Fire_Suppressed_Distant_Near (4 variations)
AKS-74U_Fire_Suppressed_Distant_Far (2 variations)

These are the basic audio file setups for each weapon that will implemented over time. In terms of realism and immersion, the goal is to have really high quality punchy audio for weapons and I think we have a solid plan to achieve this over time.

When I share you the updated dev build for attachments there will be this new audio hopefully implemented for the first updated weapon audio which will be that AKS-74U.
