Creating immersive audio for games

I’ve been diving deep into sound design for a game project, focusing on how audio can enhance the player’s experience. Lately, I’ve been experimenting with using Ambisonic recording to build a believable 3D soundscape that reacts to player actions. I’m curious, what techniques or tools do you find most effective for creating a captivating audio world?

Using Ambisonic recording sounds fascinating! I’ve found layering sound effects with real-world recordings can add depth, like crafting a sandwich layered with sounds that complement each other. Have you tried integrating environmental sounds from your surroundings into your game?
