MHW Elder Melder Sound Redesign + Breakdown
A quick sound redesign for the Elder Melder system in Monster Hunter: World.
The melder 'pot' lets you convert items you have into other items. I felt the sound could help boost the believability and narrative of this item conversion system.
Solo project.
'Mini-golf' game made during a ScoreSpace gamejam in 2024.
Made with members of Du Fosse Au Sommet; cstef and Wampy.
My roles: Music, Sound Design, Playtesting.
Made in two days!
Visual Novel made during the Spooktober Visual Novel Jam 2024.
Made as the group Butterfly Rocket Studios (see video for full credits).
My roles: Music, Sound Design, Voice Processing, Audio Engineering.

Stairs of Overstimulation (Wwise + Unreal)
An exploration of Wwise and Unreal Engine.
For a school assignment I was to document things that overstimulated me and sonify/visualize/physicalize them, which I chose to represent in a game engine.
The Wwise window shows a parameter mapped to playerheight, applying gain and distortion the higher the player goes.
Solo assignment for school. Bonus animation notifier footstep sounds at the end :)
Sidescrolling platformer made during the GMTK 2024 jam.
Made as Team Timeless (see video for full credits).
My roles: Music (shared role with LMGLolo), some Sound Design, Playtesting.
Made during a weekend. I had a lot of fun connecting with all the other discplines!
Blind Delivery Driver
Audio-Only Game where you deliver packages based on their sound and that of your environment.
Made in collaboration with Tobias Berkhout + voiceover by Zoë Bates.
My roles: Game Design, Game Programming, and some Sound Design.
DRG Non-linear music with FMOD
A school assignment where we got to make non-linear music for live gameplay of a chosen game, in this case Deep Rock Galactic. FMOD was used, but this is not an implementation, it's a live 'proof of concept'. ALL SOUND OTHER THAN THE MUSIC IS FROM THE ORIGINAL GAME!
The priority was on live adaptability and representation of events.

Other Projects
Images for Sound
School assignment where we got to recreate a specific day of our lives in sound, and then create visuals for it. An interesting contrast to the usual order of sound created for visuals.
Also my first time making an animation!
Solo school project.
MH Tri - Moga Village Cover
Music cover for a videogame soundtrack (Monster Hunter Tri - Moga Village).
Monster Hunter is one of my favourite series and the soundtrack is a big part of that.
Solo project.
Aero Chat
Sonified WindowsXP style chatroom simulator.
The chords are determined by the time of day, and the typing sounds follow the key of the chords with different notes for each character type.
