All of the audio and audio implementation was done by me, with the sound effects being created using layers from foley libraries as well as my own recorded source. Each sound was made up of at least two layers and was created with Ableton Live. I used some effects processing on most of the sounds, namely a simple room reverb to give them a sense of space, as well as pitch modulation and warping effects. A few of the sound effects (namely the robot laser blast) were created using several layers of the Xpand 2 synthesizer.

The gameplay music featured below was composed from scratch, while the menu music was reused from one of my other games (Freedom’s Silence) since it fit the theme of the menu. The gameplay music was  composed in Ableton Live using orchestral drum samples and Ableton’s Wavetable synthesizer.  When composing the gameplay music, I wanted it to reflect the contrast between the futuristic robot character/setting and the medieval knight character. The heavy, fast orchestral drum beat represents the knight, while the contrasting synth lead represents the futuristic setting.

 I used Unity’s built in audio engine for implementing the audio with a custom audio manager script that attached sounds to respective mixing groups in Unity’s audio mixer.
