Three game-audio exercises in Wwise

The test scene asked Wwise to play more than its limit of 256 simultaneous sounds, so important gunshots disappeared. I removed silent gaps and set playback priorities so nearby weapons play before distant zombie voices.

I set how quickly each type of sound fades with distance. When the player moves between the forest and cave, the two backgrounds blend over 6.5 seconds and the room echo changes with them instead of switching suddenly.

A transition is not something a still frame can show. The recorded walk between the forest and the cave ↗ covers the blend and the change in room echo.

The Android build targeted devices with 2 GB RAM. I grouped sounds by area so the game loads only what it currently needs.

Files used only to create silent gaps also consumed memory. Replacing them with the Wwise Silence plug-in reduced memory used by those gaps by about 80%.
