Good sound design can often go unnoticed as it immerses players in the game’s world and provides feedback for what’s happening in-game, and while the sound in survival sandbox Fractured Veil was pretty good, a preview of upcoming sound updates shows that things are going to improve pretty significantly soon.
The video provides several before and after examples of soundscape updates, demonstrating improved spatial audio, better ambient sounds for every environment, surface-specific sounds for footfalls (that were previously missing from the game), and beefier combat sound effects for melee slashes and ranged weapons fire alike; check out the guitar crossbow sounds in particular. You can watch (and hear) it all for yourself in the video below.
