WARP DRIVE


ROLES
Audio Developer / Music Composer / Programmer / Designer
SUMMARY
My time on Warp Drive was split between sound design, music composition, game design, and programming. As Supergonk was a tiny four-person indie team, this meant that I had full creative control over all the areas I was working on, and required frequent and effective communication with the rest of the team. As a bonus I was also in charge of liaising with ex-Sega composer, Hideki Naganuma, when commissioning him to compose the game's main musical theme, JUMPIN' PUMPIN'.
All of the game's audio was implemented using my own custom audio management system in Unity (C#), which was designed and integrated as part of Supergonk's core tech.

TRAILBLAZERS


ROLES
Audio Designer / Music Editor
SUMMARY
I joined the Trailblazers project a year before the game's launch, at which point a lot of the game's core gameplay and art direction had already been established. I immediately began working with the art director to iteratively design audio that we both felt complimented the game's stylish comic book future-funk aesthetic.
Working along side one of the programmers I developed custom audio systems within Unity to create audio for dynamic race car engines, adaptive ambiences, and split screen audio. In addition, I directed and recorded whacky alien voice over sessions in the studio, and went on a few field recording expeditions to capture some natural ambiences for game's the alien worlds.

REASCRIPTS


REASCRIPT - Adjust Item Rate (Mousewheel)

A set of scripts for adjusting the rate of single or multiple selected items, with an additional option to affect the item length as well.

Another action that pairs well with these scripts is 'Item Properties: Set item rate to 1.0' which does exactly what it says on the tin and resets the rate.

Based on Lewis Haine's original Adjust Item Rate script
