How Audio Files Are Shared Across DEMO + Faza 1 + Faza 2

Created: January 9, 2026, 14:33 CET
Purpose: Show which sounds are reused vs phase-specific
Key Insight: 45 DEMO sounds work across ALL phases! 🎉

🎯 CORE CONCEPT: AUDIO STACKING

Audio works in LAYERS, NOT replacements!

DEMO (45 files)         ← CORE FOUNDATION (used in ALL phases!)
  ↓
  └──> FAZA 1 (+60)     ← ADDS biome-specific + combat depth
         ↓
         └──> FAZA 2 (+24)  ← ADDS town-specific sounds

TOTAL: 45 + 60 + 24 = 129 files (but 45 used everywhere!)

✅ SHARED SOUNDS (Used in ALL Phases)

🎵 SHARED MUSIC (6 tracks):

These play in DEMO, Faza 1, AND Faza 2:

📊 REUSE SUMMARY:

Type	Shared (All Phases)	Phase-Specific
Music	6 tracks	+12 biome/town
SFX	19 sounds	+53 specific
Ambient	3 loops	+7 biome
UI	8 stingers	+6 phase
TOTAL	36 files	+78 specific

Key Insight: 36 files (28% of total) are used across ENTIRE game!

🎮 PHASE-SPECIFIC SOUNDS (Only used in specific phases)

🎵 PHASE-SPECIFIC MUSIC:

DEMO ONLY (3 tracks):

forest_ambient.ogg - Forest exploration (DEMO has forest?)
town_theme.ogg - Town music (but also Faza 2!)
raid_warning.ogg - Raid alarm (DEMO has raids?)

Actually, these can be SHARED too! Town music for town in all phases!

FAZA 1 EXCLUSIVE (6 tracks):

desert_theme.ogg - Desert biome ONLY
swamp_theme.ogg - Swamp biome ONLY
cave_theme.ogg - Cave/underground ONLY in Faza 1
boss_battle.ogg - Boss fights ONLY in Faza 1

FAZA 2 EXCLUSIVE (3 tracks):

town_busy.ogg - Fully restored town ONLY
church_choir.ogg - Church interior ONLY in Faza 2
tavern_music.ogg - Tavern ONLY in Faza 2

🔊 PHASE-SPECIFIC SFX:

FAZA 1 EXCLUSIVE (35 sounds):

Sheep, pig, chicken, horse, goat sounds
Milk, shear, egg, feed, pet sounds

Advanced combat (15) - only with Faza 1 combat:

Arrow hit/miss, critical, parry, dodge
Skeleton, mutant, boss sounds
Magic spells, weapon break, armor, potions

Crafting (5) - only with Faza 1 crafting:

Bell tower, market, blacksmith forge, tavern crowd
Horse cart, town gate, fountain

NPC interactions (5) - only when NPCs exist:

NPC greet/goodbye, trade, quest accept, dialogue open

💡 PRACTICAL IMPLICATIONS:

What this means for you:

1. DEMO AUDIO = PERMANENT INVESTMENT

45 DEMO sounds = used in ALL phases
NOT wasted! These carry through entire game
One-time effort, lifetime use!

2. INCREMENTAL ADDITIONS

Faza 1: ADD 60 new sounds (don't replace!)
Faza 2: ADD 24 new sounds (don't replace!)
Total grows: 45 → 105 → 129

3. FILE ORGANIZATION All sounds live in same folders:

/assets/audio/
  ├── music/          (all 18 tracks together!)
  ├── sfx/
  │   ├── farming/    (DEMO + Faza 1 together!)
  │   ├── combat/     (DEMO + Faza 1 together!)
  │   ├── building/   (all phases!)
  │   ├── town/       (Faza 2 specific)
  │   └── misc/       (all phases!)
  └── ambient/        (all shared!)

4. LOADING STRATEGY Game loads sounds based on what player unlocked:

DEMO: Loads 45 core sounds
Faza 1 unlocked: Loads +60 (total 105)
Faza 2 unlocked: Loads +24 (total 129)

But core 45 are ALWAYS loaded!

🎯 RECOMMENDED APPROACH:

Phase 1: Get DEMO Audio (45 files)

These will be used FOREVER!

Music: 9 tracks
SFX: 25 sounds
Ambient: 3 loops
UI: 8 stingers

Benefit: Game is 100% playable, sounds complete!

Phase 2: Add Faza 1 Audio (when needed)

Only when you're implementing Faza 1 features:

Add desert/swamp music when adding those biomes
Add animal sounds when adding animals
Add advanced combat sounds when adding combat
Add crafting sounds when adding crafting

Benefit: Incremental, as-needed approach!

Phase 3: Add Faza 2 Audio (later)

Only when implementing town:

Add town music when town is built
Add NPC sounds when NPCs are active
Add bell/market sounds for atmosphere

Benefit: Last priority, can wait!

📋 REUSE CHECKLIST:

✅ Sounds that work in ALL phases (NO duplicates needed!):

Footsteps (grass, stone)
UI clicks (all buttons)
Farming (dig, plant, water, harvest)
Basic combat (sword, hurt, zombie)
Building (hammer, doors, chests)
Money/level up
Main menu music
Farm ambient music
Night music
Combat music
Victory stingers
Ana theme
Ambient loops (wind, birds, crickets)

= 36 files serve entire game! ZERO duplication!

🎉 CONCLUSION:

YOU DO NOT NEED DUPLICATE SOUNDS!

Audio Budget Reality:

Minimum (DEMO only): 45 files → plays entire game with core sounds
Full (DEMO + Faza 1 + Faza 2): 129 files → complete audio experience

Shared Sounds: 36 files (28%) work across all phases Phase-Specific: 93 files (72%) add flavor/depth

Workflow:

Get 45 DEMO sounds first → DONE, works everywhere!
Add Faza 1 sounds when implementing features → Incremental!
Add Faza 2 sounds when implementing town → Later!

NO need to re-download or duplicate! All sounds in /assets/audio/ are SHARED automatically! 🎉

Status: ✅ AUDIO REUSE STRATEGY COMPLETE!
Key Takeaway: 45 DEMO sounds = Foundation for entire game!
Recommendation: Focus on DEMO 45 first, add rest as needed! 🚀
