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!

[MattDearGameAudio]

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

[MattDearGameAudio]

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...
