Have you ever wondered what it might sound like to travel in a sub to the deepest depths of the ocean? Well now you can download my sonification project from my Itch.io page and try it out for yourself.
Using the middleware Fmod and Unreal Engine 4, this project includes some of the notable sounds at certain depths and allows you to travel up and down to the very bottom of the ocean, Challenger Deep in the Mariana Trench. Using the User Interface allows you control over the sub as well as some extra features like the Sonar button that sends a ping from a boat at the top which helps to represent how deep you actually are.
This project utilises a lot of my sound design abilities, especially in creating sounds that can only be approximated or guessed. Ambient sounds play when the sub is still and there are changes that occur at deeper depths. So have a listen and you might hear some interesting sounds depending on where you are.
If you have any questions or feedback then feel free to get in contact with me or leave a comment here or on the Itch.io page. Be sure to check out my previous posts about the development of the project and keep a look out for a video playthrough.
