Audio

This week, we started working with audio in our game! For this update, I added about 9 new sounds!

1. "opening the door"
   1. I created this sound by recording myself opening a door. I really wanted to get a squeaky sound, but the hinges did not comply. This meant I relied more on simply the sound of the handle, which I still like.
2. "the door is locked”
   1. I created this sound by recording myself jiggling a locked door handle. I originally recorded a much longer piece of audio as I wanted it to sound frantic, but it ended up being much too long for these purposes.
3. "picking up the key" 
   1. I created this sound by recording myself picking up a large amount of jewelry and setting it down. I wanted the key to sound big and clanky.
4. "checkpoint"
   1. I created this sound using BFXR. I wanted it to sound more triumphant so that the player would feel proud of theirself for reaching it.
5. "you died"
   1. I created this sound using BFXR. I was inspired by the sound effect for the bite in Five Nights at Freddy’s 4. The sound it just so harsh and definite that it would clearly show a death to the player.
6. "moving platform"
   1. I got this sound from Pixabay. I wanted a mechanical sound that made it feel like the platform was really working to be able to move.
7. "falling platform"
   1. I got these sounds from Pixabay. I wanted the player to be able to hear that the 
8. “Lava Ambience”
   1. I added background audio for the room with lava. I got this sound from Pixabay. This allows the player to know that there is lava without having seen it.
9. “Spotlight Ambience”
   1. I added background audio for the room with the cheese and the camera. I got this sound from Pixabay. It is supposed to reflect the sound of a spotlight. My intention was for it to be a little unnerving and uncomfortable.

I also added a checkpoint and a key that is required to open the door!
