ROLES
Principal Audio DesignerSUMMARY
I began working on Human Fall Flat 2 as the sole audio designer owning and building the entire audio pipeline from the ground up as well as leading the audio direction of the game. After a couple of years this later developed into building and leading an audio team, collaborating with composers, and organising recordings and outsourcing with external developers.My work on the project covered creating sound design for all aspects of the game including ambiences, foley, vehicles, weapons, machinery, toys, UI, and most notably an entire audio collision system built from scratch. I co-developed audio tools in C# to create natural sounding and tactile audio to match the game's wacky gameplay and concocted intricate audio systems and tools within audio middleware to enable myself and the rest of the audio team to create incredible and unique audio for the game. I was also in charge of designing and implementing music systems used across the game, and took the opportunity to compose and arrange some additional diegetic music as well.

ROLES
Audio Developer / Music Composer / Programmer / DesignerSUMMARY
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.

ROLES
Audio Designer / Music EditorSUMMARY
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.
