Use of sound

Well strap in, because when the new worlds hit they come with new weathers, new atmospheres, and new biome ambiences.

Did you ever see this?

Finally a short captured demonstration of the ambient SFX system that will shortly be hooked into Boundless. We recommend you plug in your headphones before listening to the video.

During the video Rebecca gradually enables and disables a range of features that change the ambient SFX coming from the environment, including:

• Selecting the biome’s thematic ambience.
• Varying the time of day changes the biome’s ambience.
• The wind strength.
• The altitude above the biome surface, again changes the ecological ambience.
• The altitude below the biomes surface, ie. underground.
• Walking through short and long grass, also effected by the active weather system.
• Interactions within the grass: tool impacts, footsteps, falling, etc.
• Manipulating the block types interacted with.
• Being close to water.
• Being in water, and associated interactions in water.
• Being under water, and associated interactions under water.
• All whilst the atmospheric birds are tweet, tweet, tweeting.
