Chivalry 2 single player update#

While the bulk of the audio work is sound effects we can’t forget about the iconic voice characters that you can choose from.

How the sounds echo or reverberate off the environment whether you’re inside a castle or out on the grassy battlefield, all of these things are taken into account. Generally one of Buckey’s focuses is how the sounds would be impacted by the environment that they are played in to made them feel more grounded. The hoof beats start of distant and grow to a booming stampede as they run past. This has to do with attenuation and how the sounds move around you while you’re also moving around too. One of the key components on making the horses sound grounded and a real part of the battlefield is how they sound as they’re running around the player.

We’ve heard many compliments regarding the horse audio since the Tenosian Invasion update as well. Below is a screenshot of only some of the sounds made for the Greatsword. For every weapon that needs sounds, they also need different and unique sounds for every single attack type that the weapon can do. In order to do all of this, our audio engineers use something called Wwise.

This helps with player emersion and allows for the sounds to feel real and natural to the ear while playing. There is a big emphasis on using several sounds to make up a single weapon sound, and having these sounds randomized so you never hear the same sound twice in a row. You could say he knows his way around by now! There are over 70,000 different sounds so far in the Chivalry 2 library, which is an insane number, all to help flesh out the audio landscape.īuckley, with the help of Moon, goes into detail on how all of the weapon sounds in Chivalry 2 are made. He has been a member of the Torn Banner team for many, many years and also did the sound design for Age of Chivalry and Chivalry: Medieval Warfare. In this stream we were joined by Ryan Buckley, who is the Audio Director and Audio Engineer for Chivalry 2.
