  • Demonstrated a unique blend of creativity and technical expertise by not only designing audio assets but also implementing them in the game using industry-standard tools like Wwise and Unreal Engine
  • This hands-on approach allowed for a deeper understanding of how audio assets interacted with gameplay, enabling me to think strategically about how each asset should sound within the context of the game’s mechanics.
  • Meticulously crafted a diverse range of NPC weapon sounds, abilities, and status effects, ensuring that each audio element complemented the game’s visual and narrative aspects.
  • Innovatively addressed complex audio challenges, including designing SFX for every NPC’s charge-up sequences, while considering the high volume of NPCs firing simultaneously, all while ensuring that the soundscape remained clean enough for players to hear rivals approaching in this PvEvP game.
  • Employed a systematic approach to create compelling audio variations, preventing player fatigue from repetitive sounds, and maintaining a consistently engaging player experience.
  • Collaborated closely with the development team to ensure audio assets seamlessly aligned with the game’s vision and mechanics.
  • Additionally, implemented select audio assets using the Niagara VFX system in Unreal, further enhancing the integration of sound and visual effects for a cohesive player experience.
  • Worked in tandem with artists and programmers to synchronize audio and visual effects for maximum impact, contributing to the game’s overall polish and quality.
  • Fine-tuned environmental VFX audio for explosions, fire, steam, sparks, water, … enhancing immersion and realism.
  • Maintained a comprehensive and meticulously organized audio asset library, enabling rapid development iterations and ensuring a streamlined workflow.
  • Conducted extensive playtesting sessions, gathered valuable feedback, and iteratively refined and optimized audio elements, guaranteeing a high level of player satisfaction.
