Do you ever get the feeling your work isn't being taken seriously? #sounddesign

@supertonic.au mentioned 👀

Zander is also around for MIGW! Catch him to talk about game audio or to not talk about game audio. Or see him talk about game audio to a whole room at once at GCAP

Facundo will be repping Supertonic at MIGW next week, so be sure to say hello 👋✨

How do you make a slow-down sound more realistic? #gameaudio #gamesound

Had an interview with @sergioronchetti.bsky.social about the FMOD project for Cozy Caravan — it was nice to have an opportunity to get quite into the weeds www.youtube.com/watch?v=jQj_...

Our next game, coming very soon, is Janet DeMornay Is A Slumlord (and a witch). It’s a comedy-horror about being a renter. We recreated a house we lived in and asked the question, what if Resident Evil 2 puzzles were more escape room like? youtu.be/s4Eq8pe_Zac?...

Schrodinger's Cat Burglar is in the @blueridgegames.bsky.social Prismatic Indie Showcase!

Schrodinger's Cat Burglar is now available on @gog.com! 20% launch discount for the next week! www.gog.com/en/game/schr...

How can you make footsteps sound right on any wooden surface without recording a million variations? Filters to the rescue! #gameaudio #gamesound #indiegames #sounddesign

What would happen if you cranked up the gain during a fade-out? #sounddesign #audio

What use is a comb filter in game audio? I tackled this in a lightning talk for @technicallygames.bsky.social last year, and here is the even-quicker-than-lightning version that's less than two minutes long! #gameaudio #gamesound #sounddesign

Meet Beryl, Janet's foil, Janet's ex-co-host, and the only real hope the housemates have. Janet DeMornay Is A Slumlord (and a witch) coming VERY soon to PC, Mac, and PlayStation 5! youtu.be/tY7yC3L1n5w?...

A short excerpt from the talk I did alongside Mika Cornelius for the High Score conference in 2023, looking at some approaches to tackling the creature vocalisations in @5livesstudios.bsky.social's Windbound. #gameaudio #sounddesign #indiegame #windbound #5lives #supertonic #zanderhulme #highscore

I'm speaking at GCAP this year! Come see me at 11am on day 3 to learn a bit about audio DSP and how it works and how to actually figure out if an effect is "too expensive" to run.

Finally got a linktree, check it out if you want to see the same content reposted on several platforms, I guess: linktr.ee/supertonicau...

Hey, that's the ultrasonic microphone I made! I'm so keen for this game to come out — it's a great team, it's got shit to say, it's got penguins, what else do you want?

Here's how the sound team at @supertonic.au created a cool isolating soundscape for the Phase Visualizer ability using Unity's Mixer Snapshots. #gamedev #indiedev #indegames #sounddesign

We worked with some excellent folks on Schrodinger's Cat Burglar - here's one example of how @supertonic.au went above and beyond with their sound design!

How do you let the player purr as long as they like? A granular cat synth of course! Featuring my cat Marly's cameo in @abandonedsheep.com's #SchrödingersCatBurglar #gameaudio #sounddesign

We are open to new gigs, by the way! You could have this kind of thing in your game if you want 👀

If you've wondered how we recorded the engine for the Rhino Beetle in Isopod, we actually didn't record anything! It's entirely synthesised at runtime using wavetables in Unreal MetaSounds. A very quick explanation thread 👇 #gameaudio #unreal #metasounds #synthesis #sounddesign #isopod

We've been doing a bit of #SonicBranding work lately, and you know who doesn't have a #SonicLogo? Supertonic! It's hard to settle on just one sound to represent a business that's all about sound, so I thought I might make a few different ones. Here's number 1: oscilloscope art 📡

Sorry, that's stingy of me to talk about flamethrower sounds and just show a picture! Here's the MetaSounds generating the flamethrower sound — you may recognise the stripes on the spectrograph output from the earlier example, though this time it is more subtle.

A thread about comb filtering in games, what it is, why we don't like it, and ultimately why we do like it after all 🪮 #gameaudio

Little sneak peek of something... <.< I don't think I'll ever get sick of bouncing stuff to tape

SGF and Next Fest is over! It's a fruitful (if stressful) few weeks! Thank you so much to everyone who played the demo and everyone who wishlisted! We just hit 10,000! L'il Janny is INTO IT

The Queensland Games Festival is on this Saturday the 27th at the Brisbane Powerhouse. Come along and be the first in the world to play lots of cool indie games!! www.queenslandgamesfestival.com

What overwhelmingly good news!

We've had an absolute blast creating the sound for this game over the last few years, and now it's finally out! It's fun and clever and you should buy it and play it right away, ok?!

One of the last games I worked on before going on mat leave is out! It was an honour to work with this small team of dedicated artists and I'm stoked that Mittens and Lazy Susan get to see the world! 🐈🦔💜🧡💙

Thank you for the 9/10 review!

Working on SCB with Martin and the team has been a real treat! I'm so proud of the work everyone has done on this, the whole game looks and sounds and feels so good, I can't wait for folks to get to play it!

The music in Schrödinger's Cat Burglar goes SO HARD, it's such a pleasure hearing it whenever I'm testing sounds in the game. It has been a great vibe guide for the sound design as well, @dreamtrak.bsky.social really knocked it out of the park with this soundtrack <3 -z

The Cozy Caravan soundtrack is now available on Steam, Spotify, and YouTube (where you can watch Bubba groove with it!) www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ivsw...

The @cozycaravangame.bsky.social soundtrack is now available on Steam! store.steampowered.com/bundle/65700...

Today is the day: Cozy Caravan graduates from Early Access on Steam, and debuts on Apple Arcade! Thanks so much for the support during Early Access, we hope you'll love Harvestvale for years to come 🩷

Bubba preorders are live! The legendary Bubba is ready to go everywhere with you, just don't let him drive or feed him after midnight. youtooz.com/products/coz...

The Cozy Caravan soundtrack is coming out on the 8th (along with the full release of the game)! It will be available on Steam and Bandcamp for purchase, but if you're keen to stream it, you can pre-save it here: ditto.fm/cozy-caravan...
