Unreal Engine 5 Game Codevelopment - Brackeys Game Jam 2026.1

Authors:

• TOST Games - Programming, Game Design (https://tost-games.itch.io/)
• Michael Roronoa - Level design, Game Design (https://roronoa-michael.itch.io/)
• Timur Nizamov - Technical sound design, SFX design, music (https://timniz.itch.io/)

Goals of the project:

• To learn Audiokinetic Wwise middleware - https://www.audiokinetic.com/en/wwise.
• To advance sound design and technical sound design skills in UE5 (using Wwise).

Potential issues:

• Wwise and Unreal Engine 5 integration itself. For example, features like Occlusion (diffraction or sound transmission) or setting reverb rooms can cause problems. But overall - just time consuming :).

Tech

• Wwise
• Unreal Engine 5
• Reaper
• Cubase
• Soundly
