The music in Schrödinger's Cat Burglar goes SO HARD, it's such a pleasure hearing it whenever I'm testing sounds in the game. It has been a great vibe guide for the sound design as well, @dreamtrak.bsky.social really knocked it out of the park with this soundtrack <3

Zander's talk from Angles is now up on YouTube 👀 It's about the freaky sound of @fuzzyg.host's Janet de Mornay is a Slumlord (and a Witch)
While playing Isopod, you may be tempted to taunt Mangrove Jack, the genuinely terrifying fish.
I don't recommend it, but it's an option if you're curious.
If you somehow have the energy to be doing PAX today, please say hi to our wonderful friends @busalonium.bsky.social, @abandonedsheep.com, & @bendroste.bsky.social if you see them at their booths, and maybe check out their games — I hear they sound pretty good
We've had a phenomenal games week — we laughed, we cried, and some of the events were good too. Thanks Melbourne for making our little delegation of @facundoo.bsky.social and @zander.supertonic.au feel welcome ❤️
Booooooof
It's @paxaus.bsky.social day one! Come by and pat the cat 🙂
Fmod deep dive into Cozy Caravan 🥰 #migw
@zander.supertonic.au @supertonic.au
Great sound team on this one has been @zander.supertonic.au, @facundoo.bsky.social, @robbielittle.bsky.social @junebugrocks.bsky.social, and @andersg.bsky.social 💪✨
We've got a game coming out real soon! It's a humdinger, you're gonna love it ✨
We're sending both @zander.supertonic.au and @facundoo.bsky.social down to Melbourne next week, so if you see either of them please say "hi" and direct them to the best pastries in the vicinity
Details of my talk. Title: Who needs a DAW? Synthesising sounds at runtime in metasounds. At 11am on day 2 of GCAP
My talk's full description, included in its entirety in the alt text follows: As an audio implementation tool, Unreal Engine’s MetaSounds seems far from ideal — it’s completely alien to people used to audio software, it’s difficult to achieve basic playback of sounds, and it’s full of seemingly arbitrary limitations. The reason is simple: MetaSounds is not a good tool. In fact, it isn’t even a tool at all — MetaSounds is a forge, and in it you can make some very good tools indeed. Runtime synthesis is already offered in middleware in the form of 1st- and 3rd-party plugins that solve one specific problem or other, but one size does not always fit all. A generic set of footsteps won’t sound right for every character, and a generic rain or wind or whoosh plugin won’t sound right for the world and aesthetic of every game. Rolling your own tools is an opportunity to build a specific solution for your specific problem, and get your fingerprints all over everything while you’re at it. Join Zander for a rummage through Supertonic’s MetaSounds toolbox, as he demonstrates his approach to building customisable synths for responsive and dynamic sound design, generated at runtime. Through examining various synths built for real projects such as Sbug Games’ Isopod, he hopes to impart an understanding of the scope of MetaSounds’ capabilities, and convince you that maybe the best granular synthesiser is the one you bake yourself.
Friendship ended with audio software, now Unreal Engine is my best friend
I don't know what I was expecting
Stoked to be speaking at Freeplay for the first time! My talk is called "Thanks, I hate it!" and it is about harnessing the dual powers of psychoacoustics and bad taste to help @fuzzyg.host make a game that sounds bad on purpose so you can experience the protagonist's discomfort.
I gave a lightning talk about comb filters for @technicallygames.bsky.social at this year's Queensland Games Festival. Turns out 5 minutes is not a long enough time to adequately explain this, but I had a red-hot go anyway: www.youtube.com/watch?v=iAW-...
Be among the first to see our BRAND NEW trailer for
🐱 Schrödinger's Cat Burglar!
⚛️ Cats in quantum superstates.
🤯 Mind-bending puzzles.
👥 Play solo or coop.
🦔 A hedgehog in a swivel chair?!
🔁 Shares HUGELY appreciated! 🙏
Very excited to announce that we're having a ball working on sounds for Isopod!
Very cool to see Schrödinger's Cat Burglar appear in Frosty Games Fest! It has been challenging figuring out what a cat in a state of quantum superposition sounds like — but now that we've put in the hard work, nobody need wonder again!
A game developer pointing at the download demo link on his game's steam page
Schrodinger's Cat Burglar demo is now available!
Go download! 😺
This must be that 'cat distribution system' people keep talking about
Can you pet the cat in Schrodinger's Cat Burglar?
Yes... but you are the cat.
Hey hi! I’m Anders, a sound designer and composer for video games living in Brisbane, Australia:) I am the co-founder of Wield Interactive, where we make RTS and strategy games, and a long-time collaborator at @supertonicaudio.bsky.social. I spend a lot of time thinking about synths and whisky:)
@supertonicaudio.bsky.social has done some great work on the audio for L8R SK8R
It almost sounds like passable #ASMR when played without any music
