wAYWard Woods(2026: cONCEPT dESIGNER AND Lead Sound Designer

When our capstone was in its concept and pitch phase, I was apart of the smaller group that proposed this idea to our client. At the start I was in charge of conceptualizing mechanics and interactions, as well as enhancing the combat systems provided by the initial prototype of our game.

When our pitch was accepted I finally began work as the Lead Sound designer. With this role I was in charge of all sound creation and implementation. This included any in game placement of emitters, along with extensive work on the sounds backend code.

Since I was a solo discipline lead, this gave me ample creative freedom when working with our creative director. Most sound effects in the game were created using foley effects and recording, others were digital made and altered in software's like FL Studio or Ableton Live.

With my in-depth dive into FMod  and previous listed software's I  learned how to compile sounds into engine, call them directly from scripts or through emitters, gained a greater understanding of audio balancing and mixing, learned to control sounds through tags and banks, and various other tricks and tools
