Use this skill for audio synthesized inside a Godot project.
Artifacts and boundaries:
- If a project directory is known, put the full audio plan in
<PROJECT_DIR>/SOUND_DESIGN.md.
- Keep an existing README
Visual And Audio Direction or Required sounds section to a short summary, updated only when direction changes.
- Implement through a small project-specific module such as
<PROJECT_DIR>/audio_controller.gd; keep main.gd as orchestration.
- Reuse the template's existing
audio_synth.gd, or resolve assets/audio_synth.gd relative to this loaded skill. Copy only when the helper is missing or materially different.
- Map unfamiliar project/concept visual tags to the nearest material, geometry, motion, or atmosphere family and record the mapping in
SOUND_DESIGN.md.
- Continuous sounds should expose a minimal control surface:
start_<sound>(), update_<sound>(params), release_<sound>(), and stop_<sound>(). Headless/no-op handles must preserve the same calls so tests can verify state transitions without playback.
Rules:
- Use built-in Godot audio; external files require explicit project permission.
- Keep event families semantically stable within a game: score, danger, damage, and state change should have distinct timbral identities.
- Vary waveform, pitch, envelope, modulation, rhythm, and density between games; do not reuse a global beep vocabulary.
- Prefer generated sample streams; use
AudioStreamGenerator only for required real-time synthesis.
Workflow:
- Derive sound character from mechanics and visual direction.
- Choose 1–2 base waveforms and modulation.
- Define event-to-timbre mappings.
- Make combo, speed, danger, or difficulty audibly modulate at least one event.
- Implement through a small audio responsibility module.
Read references/sound-design-guide.md for event catalogues, synthesis patterns, and checks. Reusable primitives are in assets/audio_synth.gd.
