"We recently added a new tool to the sound designer belt (our door transitioner!!!) - instead of rooms acting like switches for ambience, now everything flows together much more fluidly. It doesn't only change sounds however - it also taps into our reverbs and allows us to blend between different reverb types at will (going from a hallway to a narrow room, etc), as well as having some line of sight trickery so certain sounds get louder if doors open.
Here's a sample of how it can impact the club music for example. There's a much more gradual shift in how muffled it is when moving to the dance floor now!
(Personal shoutout to modder RareKiwi for the inspiration - his modded map forest house uses his own version of this which was the push for us to make our own)
