Description
Achievement is arguably the most widely explored use of sound in games, in all times. It is used to signal virtually all positive happening during Gameplay, such as optional accomplishments (gathering collectibles, picking power-ups, defeating an opponent, ...), intermediate success (reaching a checkpoint, unlocking some feature, defeating a boss, ...), completing the game, etc.
Considering the potential recurrence of such actions during the game experience, sounds of Achievement ought to be carefully designed. They are usually short, though the duration may be adapted to the magnitude of the accomplishment.
Since the nature of the Achievement is often abstract, Sound Effects or Music snippets are a common option. Nevertheless, if there is an item whose manipulation has an audible Foley (e.g. picking a sack of coins), a sound derived from it may convey a more direct messaging.
