Secret Keep - Dev Diary 11: Crossbow Guards - Voices & Bolts

Did some work on the Crossbow Guards:
- Got their crossbow bolts behaving quite well.
- Got their voices low-pass-filtered if they are on a different floor of the tower.
(I ultimately need to do some proper audio propagation system!)
Disclaimer: I'm obviously using some placeholder Thief voices and sounds here in my prototype, as I get systems working and experimenting with things. I don't quite know which path development will take down various roads and ideas, so it's good to use some temp assets to quickly "stand up some gameplay".

Hey man awesome stuff! Excited to see what comes of this. Love the thief-esk takedown. If you need a good audio solution Valve has its own solution called 'Steam Audio' that works with Unity and can easily handle full sound propagation. Keep up the good work : )

i think my previous comment got removed because i linked to the steam audio page : (

Thanks Seraphon! Have you used Steam Audio?
I've definitely got it booked marked for trying. But would love to hear some hands-on recommendations before jumping in to try it!

@@muzboz ah no I haven't yet, I just discovered it recentlyactually and thought you might want to know since you mentioned your own audio needed improvement. It does seem pretty easy to implement and seems quite powerful
