Immersion in Video Games - Footsteps
Lately I have been working on improving the sounds to allow for a better player immersion. On this video, I go over the improvements done in the footsteps system and sounds, and how it has impacted the game.
Footsteps are the kind of sound that is heard very often, and they play a very important role. So it's important to take some time to make sure that it works well, it's not repetitive and helps with the player immersion.
Just a few days ago, I literally had sounds for only one type of terrain. You could be running on the table, on water, on grass, and you would still hear gravel. But now, things are much different. And footsteps matter a lot.
