Owlcat Games - Sound Designer
Owlcat Games, Jun 2022 - Present
As a sole Sound Designer for Expeditions: A Mudrunner Game, I directed the game's sonic experience, from shaping the music vision and managing composers to personally designing all in-game audio content. Planned audio budgets by milestones, overseen remote music recording sessions and handled pre-production and post-launch tasks.
As a Sound Designer for Warhammer 40K: Rogue Trader, I sound designed and implemented various content, working on ambience, cutscenes, UI, and more. I was driving an audio tool for simplifying audio integration for inventory items, bugfixed and improved various systems, and integrated REAPER and WAAPI scripts for more streamlined pipelines.
Working on both projects at the same time helped me to develop an ability to handle multiple tasks/projects simultaneously.
Besides the releases, I actively contributed to shaping our audio department, including:
Helping team members with Reaper tips and tricks.
Developed a Digital Asset Management pipeline for inhouse recordings, set-up a cloud-based audio dabase system to share our recordings between each other, and implemented a UCS naming convention.
Sharing and modifying WAAPI scripts for little QOL improvements.
