(s23)Here you can view the highlights of my sound design contributions to Hogwarts Legacy, which was created with Unreal Engine with audio powered by Wwise. My contributions include sound designing the use/effects of all the potions the player can make, ambience in various locations inside and outside Hogwarts (e.g. Great Hall, Slytherin Common Room, Viaduct Entrance Hall, Ocean), reverb across the game, setting up many areas for spatial audio (rooms, portals etc.) some player foley (not footsteps) and also some NPC animations.

2022 - LEGO Star wars: The SKywalker Saga - TT GAMES / WARNER BROS._{LEGO StarWars ™ The Skywalker Saga 2022. © The LEGO Group. © 2022 LucasFilm Ltd. © WBEI (s22)}For this game I was solely responsible for E3L1, E3L3, E4L1, E6L4, E9L4, Tatooine, Kef Bir, Kachirho hubs, as well as countless characters, creatures, weapons, puzzles, areas and moments within other levels. Many sound effects are the recognisable and classic Star Wars originals, however there was still plenty of opportunity (and necessity!) to craft new sounds as well as challenges to integrate sound in interesting and interactive ways.

Generally almost everything that can be heard - ambience, puzzles, breaks, explosions, boss attacks, moving props are my work - with the exception of characters other than Sea King.
