Overview¶

The Game Audio Factory generates complete audio suites for games — background music, sound effects, stingers, ambient loops, UI sounds, and character voice lines. All output is packaged as a sound_manifest.json validated against the IntelliVerseX SDK sound-manifest-v2 schema, directly consumable by any game engine.

IVX Export: Category Mapping¶

Content-factory uses different category names. The export layer maps them:

Audio Providers¶

Genre-Specific Audio Suites¶

Validation¶

python tools/asset-pipeline/validate_sound_manifest.py \
  --manifest game_sound/ivx/sound_manifest.json

Platform Notes¶

VR¶

• Spatial audio metadata (position, falloff) added via engine integration
• Ambient loops critical for immersion

Console¶

• WAV preferred for low-latency SFX on PS5/Xbox
• Music streaming from CDN for large files

WebGL¶

• OGG Vorbis for broad browser support
• Preload critical SFX, lazy-load music

Mobile¶

• OGG for Android, AAC/MP3 for iOS fallback
• Compress to 128kbps for music, 96kbps for SFX

Checklist¶

• Content-Factory API accessible
• Game description and genre provided
• Character names provided (for voice line association)
• Pipeline triggered with ivx_export: true
• sound_manifest.json validates against sound-manifest-v2
• All audio files playable (no corruption)
• Music tracks loop cleanly (check loop points)
• SFX are short and punchy (< 2 seconds)
• Stingers have appropriate impact
• Mixer groups configured with sensible defaults
• Audio imported into target engine
• Mixer/bus routing set up in engine
• VR: spatial audio configured
• Console: format compliance checked
• WebGL: browser codec compatibility verified
• Mobile: file sizes optimized
