Proud of all the hard work we put into this! It's been awesome working on these games with such talented developers.
After nearly 8 years of critiquing #gameaudio demo reels, we figure it's about time we crafted a showreel of our own. Check it out, hope you enjoy! 🔈🔉🔊

It's been an honour to work on the audio for this game over the past ~4 years. I've learned so much from my time on it and the team at @UnknownWorlds is fantastic. Proud to have 1.0 out there!
Moonbreaker 1.0 is available now on Steam worldwide! 🥳 Check out the blog for all of the incredible additions, including a reimagined single-player mode called Boss Run! 🔗: moonbreaker.net/release

Super fun sound redesign from @Benjamus_Prime ! It really pops.
Wanted to share a sound redesign I did recently using clips from @Cornf_Blue's project Lightspeed Lina. I absolutely adore the expressive art style and dynamic movement, it looks so incredibly charming and fun! (1/2) #gameaudio

Two BAFTA wins for TUNIC!! That’s what’s up!! Huge congrats to @dicey and the rest of the team for crafting an awesome, magical game. It was an honour to support @regameyk on the sound design side of things.
Congrats to TUNIC but also Kevin x Zoe for winning best couple at the BAFTAs (the kissing BAFTA awards got 2nd place) @tunicgame @regameyk @zoesees

Feeling physically exhausted but emotionally rejuvenated after seeing old friends and meeting new folks at GDC this year. I’m extremely grateful to be back after a 4 year hiatus. See you all again next year!
