I've been pretty busy working on some new projects the last month or so. Here's a little peak at what I've been up to.

A new track for an as-yet-untitled project. This piece was inspired by other Electronic/Orchestral soundtracks such as Binding Of Isaac and Risk Of Rain

Plus... You can now play my Limbo demo for yourself! All the sound effects, music and ambiences were created and implemented by me using Wwise.
As you move through the level the adaptive-ambience-soundtrack with change depending on where the player is and events occuring.
This is a windows-only demo I'm afraid.

I'll be posting my Angry Bots demo soon as well...

Last week I took part in the Procrastination game jam, making retro sound effects for this megaman-inspired sidescroller, Lazy Backventure!

It's still a work in progress, so more will follow...

Play it (and leave a comment) here:

So the holidays are over and now we are in 2016!

But work didn't stop for me...

I've been working on a retro fighting game called Rising Legends - early dev here

I've also been working with the publishing company Medkidz, on a few new projects that I can't disclose fully just yet

Finally I have a new SFX demo, this time an audio mock-up of Dungeon Hunter 5 using my own sounds.

Here's a second audio mock-up video to follow on from my Dungeon Hunter 5 one last week.

This is a UI sound effects demo for the mobile game Star Wars Galactic Defense.

Last week I was making a LOT of sound effects... but, I can't post them yet as I'm under a NDA

However, I also made some music; a 'fail jingle' and 'high score jingle' for Boom Boom Piggy, an upcoming mobile game.
You can listen and the main music loop here:

I've been working with 'Medikidz' recently, a publishing company that makes educational apps and comics for children, teaching them about healthcare and diseases.

This piece is from a current, unreleased project.

Last week was doing some more work with Medikidz, further on their upcoming app.

Here's the main theme! An upbeat Orchestral/Electronic track, inspired by Nintendo and Saturday morning cartoons XD

I wrote an old school 90s-shmup-style track last week.
Lots of hair metal influences with retro midi guitar sounds XD
