Installing and Running WAG

Prerequisites

If not already done, install the Audiokinetic Launcher and Wwise. Refer to Audiokinetic Launcher for installation procedures.

[Note]Note

You must install the version of Wwise corresponding to the version of WAG you plan to install. For example, if you plan to install WAG 2021.1.1, you must install Wwise 2021.1.1.

If you are new to Wwise, it's recommend you also read Wwise Fundamentals to gain some background knowledge before proceeding.

System Requirements

WAG runs on Windows and Mac, as well as on Android and iOS mobile devices. WAG is built with the Unity game engine and can also be run from the Unity source project, which limits it to the hardware and software requirements of Unity.

Installing the WAG Projects

To install the Wwise and Unity projects:

  1. In the Audiokinetic Launcher, select Samples > Wwise Adventure Game (Unity).

  2. In the INSTALL A NEW VERSION section, select the desired version of WAG and then click Install.

  3. On the next page, select the desired packages:

    1. Wwise Project: The WAG Wwise project is always downloaded with an installation. Note, however, that the corresponding version of Wwise must be installed to open it. For example, if you install WAG 2021.1.1, you must install Wwise 2021.1.1. If you do not have the corresponding version of Wwise installed, the Open in Wwise button will be unavailable.

    2. Wwise Adventure Game: WAG can be installed as a precompiled, standalone program for Mac and Windows that works with the accompanying Wwise project using the Remote Connection feature. This is the preferred option for those who intend to modify only the Wwise project, not the Unity project.

    3. Unity source project: WAG can also be installed as an uncompiled Unity source project. Like the precompiled installation, the accompanying Wwise project offers real-time adjustments and mixing while connected to the game. This is intended for either those familiar with Unity and the Wwise Unity Integration, or highly motivated learners who want to delve deeper into WAG. Note, however, that the corresponding Unity version must be installed. If not, the Open in Unity button will be unavailable.

  4. Click Install.

[Note]Note

The required Unity version is indicated in cyan to the right of the Wwise Adventure Game install list.

Running the WAG

With either the precompiled or uncompiled version installed, you can now run the Wwise Adventure Game.

  • In the Audiokinetic Launcher, click the SAMPLES tab and select Wwise Adventure Game. Then do one of the following:

    • To run the precompiled Wwise Adventure Game, click Run Wwise Adventure Game.

      After a short loading period, the WAG standalone version opens.

    • To run the uncompiled Wwise Adventure Game, click Open in Unity. Alternatively, you can open the uncompiled Wwise Adventure Game from the Unity Hub.

      After a short loading period, the WAG project opens in Unity.

      • Press the play button in the center of the Toolbar.

      The WAG opens in the Game view.

[Note]Note

Whether running the precompiled, standalone version or the uncompiled Unity project, to modify the audio you must open the associated Wwise project. Click the Open in Wwise <version number> button corresponding to the associated WAG version. If this button is unavailable, you need to install the proper version of Wwise.
