Avowed

From January to August of 2022, I was a sound design intern at Obsidian Entertainment working on the upcoming RPG title, Avowed. 

​

My main responsibilities were:

​

Creating and maintaining interactive sound effect systems in Wwise

• Created a dynamic footstep system which matched sound effects to the terrain a player is currently traversing.​

• Implemented a blend-container based system which adjusts the speed at which a footstep's heel and toe sound effects would play to match player actions such as crouching and sprinting

Creating and implementing combat and spell sound effects in collaboration with the design team

• Designed and implemented multiple combat and spell sound effects matched to animations using anim notifies and RTPCs.​

​Creating and implementing stage ambiences using emitters, splines, and volumes

• Created ambient nature sounds such as wind, water, foliage, and animal cries​

• Implemented ambience for coasts and rivers using spline emitters

• Created and implemented room tones for structures and dungeons using volumes

​Liaising with QA team to debug audio issues

• Used Wwise Profiler to identify and troubleshoot bugs in audio​

• Tested levels with Wwise Profiler to make sure all audio conformed to mix standard.
