Building an immersive soundscape with music, SFX, and ambiance
We’ll cover writing audio player components for what I consider the most common scenarios for the type of game audio we’ll need. We’ll have components for playing music, SFX, and ambient sounds. We’ll also cover playing the sound in 2D or 3D space, as required or desired, for each type of audio player component.
