Awwdio is Resonite's new in-house audio engine.
Etymology
The name “Awwdio” was revealed by Frooxius during The Resonance EP14.[1]
The inside of the human cochlea has about 3,500 tiny hair cells that sense vibrations and send electrical impulses to the brain. In order to hear, your ears literally have to be furry on the inside—hence the “aww” in “Awwdio.”[2]
Implementation
Awwdio will be responsible for mixing audio sources, and integrate Steam Audio for spatialization.[3]
This will replace the current approach where Unity is responsible for mixing and spatializing.[3]
