Game Audio Implementation

Make games sound alive. Implement adaptive music, spatial 3D sound, and Foley effects using middleware like FMOD or Wwise.

Audio is 50% of the experience. This course teaches the technical implementation of game audio. You will learn to use Audio Middleware (FMOD/Wwise) to create adaptive music systems that change with gameplay intensity. Master spatial audio to let players hear where enemies are. We cover triggering SFX via code/animation events, randomizing pitch/volume for realism, and optimizing audio compression for memory.
