Had a lot of fun with this noise box yesterday! Fab for interesting textures and timbre. Obviously running through mad plugin chains...

I'm collecting spoken stories to build a sonic picture of people's relationships to trees for a sound piece - it could be a childhood memory, a cool tree fact, a spiritual, nostalgic experience, anything! To contribute, send a short voice note by whatsapp to +447848177916 🌳✨ & please share out xx

One of the hardest parts of game audio implementation seems to be actually figuring out what you WANT to happen. #gameaudio

List of steps to do in blueprint logic: - [ ] Play 2D Wind
- [ ] Get distance between player and sphere (enemy)
- [ ] Set distance variable in Metasound
- [ ] Print float values to work out range
- [ ] Update distance continuously (WITHOUT USING EVENT TICK- will be murdered)
- [ ] If distance = X or less (Boolean- true of false)- true = interp to higher wind intensity, false = do nothing
