For this project I undertook the role of sound designer and audio programmer using FMOD to implament the audio into the game.

The audio editing was conducted using Reaper and the implamentation was done using FMOD's C# API.

When given the specifications and direction the game was going in, I decided to make an early start on gathering SFX and ambience for the game, to do this, I made an asset list to aid in me organising my workflow

After being given the premise of the game, I knew immediately I wanted the ambience and SFX to be very laid back and ethereal. One such example is the level up sound. I wanted to create a sense of calm, but positivity. So I incorporated a synth sound that used a major scale as well as bird stingers layered on top to compliment the peaceful nature of the game.
