Survival Island – Devblog 21

This devblog have added lots of sound effects. And this is just the start. The game felt a little quiet, so sounds needed to be added asap. The grim reaper also have its own item drop. The eye of a reaper is currently used only to craft the map. But will be used for lots of other stuff down the line. So the game is now getting to a good state.

Sound effects

For sound effects to be easy to add without doing much coding, I added a audio clip slot on the item script. So each item/object the player can interact with can hold its own sound effect. So whenever the player uses/places a object, the assigned sound will play. This is enabled on building blocks, crops and tools etc. Enviromental objects work a little different, all objects in the enviroment have a script that stores health etc on them. And this script also controls the collision between the correct tool and itself aswell. So a slot for a audioclip is assigned to this script so each enviromental object can have a unique sound effect assigned. Sound effects will continue to be added, but they will be added with new stuff from now on. So if i add a new enemy, this enemy will be released with sound effects ready. Sound effects can also have pitch differences. This means that sounds will not sound the same every single time. Placing sound will have a higher tone or darker tone sometimes. Same goes for other sounds.
