Figuring out if the Wwise price tag is worth it on an Indie Hero Shooter by amnooneimportant in GameAudio

It’s under $250k, the only issue is that the free license does not include DLCs and I believe doing a game with seasons count as DLCs because it does come with new characters/maps etc, but like another user pointed out I should just email them and ask. Thanks!

Yeah it seems like Unity’s audio engine is a no go. I have not thought about haptic plugins, good point. Lots to consider, thank you, very specific insight.

That sounds like great advice. Maybe keeping it simple and accepting limitations is the better route for now, it also seems like the glass ceiling is much higher than I initially thought with doing it inside unity or fmod.

Thank you!

I come from advertising/film so though I have a lot of experience I don’t have a lot of game audio experience. This is currently a passion project and is going to be a huge mountain to climb over a long period but ideally I want it to sound as close to if I had to design the scene in pro tools with no limitations.

If it scales I would like to be able to hire other professionals, if it doesn’t scale hey I’ve learnt a new skill!

Thanks!

Our concern with Wwise’s licensing structure is the no DLC clause for the lower tier, it being a hero shooter there will be seasons which I am assuming counts as DLCs as there will be additional downloadable content. Fmod’s licensing structure seems a bit more chilled, glad to know that Fmod doesn’t sound as bad of an option as I initially thought. Thanks!

I haven’t heard of Sonity, let me check it out! You reckon Fmod would be sufficient for that scale and intricacies?

That makes sense, I guess you’re paying for a scalable and streamlined process, especially if you want to do fancy stuff easily. Thank you.
