Audio Starter

Roadmap: Audio

Engine-neutral game audio design (buses, ducking, adaptive music, SFX variation) and how to build it in Godot 4.7.

Plan the mix first: which buses exist, what ducks under dialogue, how music changes with the game state. Then build it in Godot with AudioStreamPlayers, buses and effects. Both were run headless on Godot 4.7.2 and carry our tested badge. Audio is the thinnest module on GameSkill; an original sound-effects pack is planned.

Self-check

  • Music, SFX, UI and voice have their own buses and volume sliders
  • Volumes are set in decibels, not linear values
  • Repeated sounds vary in pitch or sample
  • Music ducks under dialogue and important cues
