My last post of 2016! I'm taking a week off from 24th-1st at the end of this week.

I've uploaded a new sound effects soundreel to my soundcloud, part of a new series of sounds I'm making for Medikidz' new educational comics.

I also thought I'd show a bit of a retrospective of my year, by way of portfolio pieces...

Folk Tale - This was a big project, I was workign on the various sounds for FOlk Tale for several months. I've collected some of the best into the soundreels linked below.

I've just uploaded a second collection of sounds from my latest Medikidz comission.

https://soundcloud.com/matthewdear-1/…ics-soundreel-2

I'm currently looking for new jobs to start of the new year, so please get in touch if you are interested in my services!

I hope everyone has had a productive start to the year! I've been busy back in the studio, making a variety sounds for several of my projects.

This is the third and final collection of sounds from my latest Medikidz commission.

It's been a while since I posted! I've been having a very busy past couple of months, and the commissions have been under NDA. So I'm limited in what I can show you at the moment.

However, I have uploaded a new 'audio mockup', to my soundcloud.

I tried something a little different with this upload. I put together a group of sounds I've made, and created an imaginary game 'scene'.

I wanted to show how my sounds fit together when put into the often eclectic in-game environment.

Starting slowly with a few transitions and footsteps, it evolves into a full shootout with lots of sounds all playing at once.

I've just uploaded another Medikidz SFX sample. All sounds created as part of a new project I'm working on with them. Music to follow!

https://soundcloud.com/matthewdear-1/mkz-fractures-sfx

TWO new music tracks this week! Both written for my latest Medikidz project.

Both tunes are inspired by classic saturday morning cartoons, e.g. power rangers.

Medikidz To The Rescue!: https://soundcloud.com/matthewdear-1/medikidz-to-the-rescue

Medikidz In Danger!: https://soundcloud.com/matthewdear-1/medikidz-danger

I've uploaded something slightly different than usual this week.

I've been making some 'cave ambience' sounds for Infinity PBR. So I decided to put together a few of these to make an immersive first-person perspective, dungeon crawling audio 'scene'.

Wear headphones for greater impact!

I had a great time at EGX: Rezzed this weekend! Some big highlights for me were 'Bombslinger' in the Indie Room and 'The Occupation' in the Unreal Showcase. Definitely a couple of games to look out for.

I've just joined the team for upcoming first-person, story-driven action adventure 'Unknown Fate'. We'll be working on something a little special over the next couple of weeks, so watch this space...

I've done a new Infinity PBR pack, Demon this time

Check out the collection of footsteps, foley and vocalisations I've put together on soundcloud.

I've had a busy weekend, putting together a new dual boot Hackintosh/Windows tower, optimised for audio and game development!

Here's what I was working on last week, Infinity PBR's Medusa pack.

Last week I went into OMUK's London studio as a dialogue editor, to help work on upcoming Gear VR game, Augmented Empire.http://omuk.com/https://coatsink.com/games/augmented-empire/

I'm going in again this Tuesday to continue.

I've also been working on some new content for Unknown Fate, which will published later this week once we have approval from our publishers.

Still looking for new projects though! Get in touch if you're interested in my work

I have some new Infinity PBR sounds this week, this time the 'Weeper'. An undead 'hollow' that relies on dark magic and fear buffs.

Listen out for cloth foley, magic effects and otherworldly vocalisations.

I was working on some new Medikidz comics last week. New releases about Blood Tests, MRI scans and Pneumonia.

I've just uploaded a collection of SFX from those projects. Listen out for space age whooshes, 'germ vocals' and sounds from within the human body...

I've been working on a new game recently, Melee Masters. It's a 3d fantasy fighting/brawler.

http://www.playmeleemasters.com/

This track is the first collection of sounds from this project. Combat and movement sounds for the 'rock elemental', Quake.

https://soundcloud.com/matthewdear-1/…uake-combat-sfx

This collection of sfx is less varied than my usual posts, but I think it demonstrates clearly the need for sounds that though similar, are different enough to avoid tiresome repetition. A concept that is of paramount importance when designing for fighting games.

Unknown Fate has released a new trailer! I've been working on the sound design for this over the pas month, so I'm very pleased to announce it's release.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k1LE851GeLg

I'll be doing more sound design for Unknown Fate over the summer, watch this space!
