Collaboration
Collaborated with composers and sound designers to establish a clear audio pipeline.
Provided structured workflows, shared FMOD projects, and built systems that enabled iteration and testing. .
FMOD Implementation
Implemented core audio systems using FMOD, including listener setup for an isometric camera.
Designed the listener to follow the player with offset and orientation aligned to camera direction.
Integrated animation-driven audio events to enhance game feel and responsiveness.
Reflection
This was our first real project as a team, so a big part of it was figuring out how we actually work together. The pipeline took some time to settle, but we ended up building something we’re genuinely proud of. I also introduced a Notion-based system to replace scattered communication tools, which made it much easier for the team to find documentation and stay aligned. It was also really fun to cut and edit the trailer!
