Perlinfall Posted August 5, 2023 Report Posted August 5, 2023 (edited) A simple suggestion that I think would go a long way in this game is footstep sounds for other entities. Anything walking around, especially in a forest is going to make some noise. I've seen a lot of complaints about bear attacks, and I think this would help. Bears in this game don't always growl while running towards you. Many times they are silent until they attack. It would also add much more immersion to the game too. Hearing the footsteps of potential predators in the woods would be really cool. Edited August 5, 2023 by Perlin More justification for suggestion. 6
Alan Blue Posted August 6, 2023 Report Posted August 6, 2023 And the crashing through the undergrowth as they chase you. "What do you mean he stopped 100 blocks back!?!?"
Thorfinn Posted August 6, 2023 Report Posted August 6, 2023 Fine as an option. Pretty sure there are mods that do that. Predators have to be able to stalk prey, though. Those that can't go hungry. 1
Maelstrom Posted August 7, 2023 Report Posted August 7, 2023 Gotta agree with Thorfinn here. Humans are the loudest land bound animal in the forest. All others are quiet out of necessity, either to acquire dinner or avoid becoming dinner.
Jon20 Posted August 8, 2023 Report Posted August 8, 2023 I agree, footstep sounds would be great. It doesn't need to be loud like Minecraft sounds, just enough so that a player who's paying attention can get a sense for what's around them, especially for drifters and any other monster type creatures.
Khornet Posted November 4, 2023 Report Posted November 4, 2023 I strongly feel like the game needs some love in the audio department overall. I don't like how frequently the game is deathly silent. It should only happen during winter. As for the footsteps specifically - PLEASE give them at least to drifters. I have had them sneak up on me before I could hear the moaning sound (or it wasn't indicative of their position whatsoever), and there's no reason for them not to have them (unlike animals being stealthy or something as mentioned above). 4
Andy4Vendetta Posted November 6, 2023 Report Posted November 6, 2023 I think that bears (at least) should make some stick-cracking noises when rushing to you

Luckily the dev team got a sound designer on their team at last so expect those sound effect to come out eventually. Looking at the 1.19 changelog the existing sounds got reworked but new ones haven't been added yet. Hopefully the finalized 1.19 version will have animal footsteps because I can not count how many times I have been killed by wolfs and bears charging at me from behind.
