👉 GnollHack features an immersive, spatialized audio system powered by professional middleware and custom-tailored soundsets.

🔊 Sound Engine Features

  • Large Sound Set — Over 1,100 unique game sounds.
  • Spatial Sounds — Sound volume and panning depend dynamically on the distance and obstacles between the sound source and the player character.
  • Movable Sound Sources — Support for moving audio sources, such as buzzing by killer bees as they travel.
  • Internal Sound Sets — Custom C-level sound set logic allowing for complex interactions, such as footsteps varying based on worn boots and floor material (e.g., wood, stone, ice).

🛠️ Audio Technology & Middleware

  • Professional Audio Middleware — Sounds are managed and played using FMOD, an industry-standard sound system also used in major commercial titles like World of Warcraft and Celeste.
