2012 June

It’s always a fun and painful thing to see the reactions of a game you’ve been working on mostly as a close knit team without little say from fans/people on the outside. Last night we released the teaser trailer to Amnesia a Machine for Pigs and it seems to have been accepted really well which is great. Jessica Curry composed the music and I did the sound design and the mix (on a very tight deadline). Overall I think it came out okay but I had to heavily compress the audio to meet with youtube volume levels which isn’t so great.

Anyway – here it is!

There has been some massive changes going on in my work recently, and today I am both excited and also a little sad to share the news.

I am sad to announce that I will be leaving The Chinese Room in the current months, what has been one of the most exciting and dynamic work environments I have ever worked in. Dan Pinchbeck (creative director) has really challenged my views on conventional game design and audio in games to really look outside of the box do things I didn’t think were possible within our medium and to do things I didn’t think I could do. I will truly miss working for TCR.

It is also with great excitement that I can announce that starting mid-September, I will be joining the audio team at DICE in Stockholm (creators of Battlefield 3 and Mirrors Edge) as a sound designer. I cannot wait to start learning from the team and also contribute towards the exciting projects as well.
