Kumpy: Main Menu Sound Effects and Button Updates – Development Log #X

Hello Jumpy fans! 👋

Today, I made some important improvements on the main menu to make the game’s entry point more enjoyable for players. In particular, I added sound effects to the main menu and buttons to enrich the user experience.

What I Did Today:

• Main Menu Ambient Sound: A subtle, atmospheric sound now plays in the background when the menu opens, creating a more immersive vibe as players enter the game.
• Button Click Sounds: All buttons on the main menu (Start, Settings, Exit, etc.) now have short, pleasant click sounds. This enhances the tactile feel of pressing buttons and makes the interaction more lively.
• Balanced Audio Levels: I carefully adjusted the volume levels so the sounds blend well with the game music and other effects without being too loud or distracting.
• Performance Optimization: Optimized Unity’s AudioSource components to make sure these sounds do not affect game performance.

Challenges Faced:

Ensuring the sounds play at the right time and in sync required careful event triggering setup. Also, balancing the volume levels involved taking player feedback into consideration.

Below is a short demo video/gif showcasing the updated main menu and button click sounds:

Improving the main menu like this will make the player’s first impression more engaging. I’d love to hear your feedback and suggestions!

In my next devlog, I will share updates on the in-game score effects and sticker animations. Stay tuned!

Thank you! 🙏
