One of the best parts of working in #gameaudio is playtesting cool projects months (or years) ahead of release.
Little Critters (@purpleyonder.com) is insanely addictive, and a great workout to boot. We'd often squabble over who got to play next 😅

Here in the "third world", digital games have be $80+ for ages. Ashamed to say that there's a bit of schadenfreude in seeing the outrage as gamers in the US are facing the prospect of those same prices.
But my fun will be short-lived because it means our prices are about to break $100. Good times!

It's Tuesday, which means it's time for #SoundDesignSunday!
Today we obliterate a watermelon for some amazing audio. Very slightly NSFW.

We usually collaborate remotely, but once in a while it's great to head out to the Karoo and hang out in Jo Ellis' studio. Recording the absolutely monstrous Chainstaff OST for @mommysbestgames.bsky.social.
