Oh hi there! After some radio silence, I'm super happy to announce that I had the pleasure of chatting with the one and only Akash Thakkar for the latest episode of his brilliant Sound Business Podcast! As a long-time listener myself, it's still kinda surreal and I really hope you enjoy our chat!

I’m on Akash Thakkar’s Sound Business Podcast!

Oh hi there! After a bit of radio silence I'm super excited to announce that I had the pleasure of speaking with Akash Thakkar for the latest episode of his Sound Business Podcast. Since I first developed a curiosity for game audio, Akash's podcast and YouTube videos had been my north star and helped me make sense of how the industry worked, what other sound designers are doing, and showcased brilliantly how others made their way into games.

One of life’s greatest cruelties has to be our inability to truly tell our non-human companions just how much they mean to us 💔 Rest easy, ma’am (aka “Cat”, or Lyla). Home doesn’t feel like home without you. Thank you for all the joy and love you gave over the decade since Sarah and I adopted you ❤️

See you tomorrow!

Just meditating a bit on some rhythmic pings of the Brenso + RYK Night Rider + delay and with some perc from Halos, clocked by the FH-2. Night Rider is just such an incredibly satisfying filter for anything with rhythm and has been a pretty amazing tool for creating UI source material! #modularsynth

I still am so incredibly humbled by this experience and can’t believe I actually got to do it. This is me recoding vultures in Zimbabwe back in August 2023 ❤️ #fieldrecording #sounddesign #birds #gameaudio

I'll be giving a talk on Tuesday about how implementation shapes the way we design audio in projects of any size.

Another big update for #GhostOfYotei drops April 10th, adding some really challenging and seriously fun 4-player content to Legends mode 👹

Sucker Punch Productions@suckerpunchprod.bsky.social · 4mo ago

Raid launches on April 10th at 10AM pacific time for #GhostofYotei Legends! ⚔️ Team up against the Dragon and Lord Saito with 3 other players. Raid is high-end content that will require four players to complete.

Gotta say, Al slop has made April Fools a lot less fun because there’s barely any effort in a lot of these gags anymore

Excited to finally be able to share some of the work I did as an audio implementer on Ghost of Yōtei! Despite spending 9+ months doing mostly Foley, I’m relieved to say I still LOVE Foley 😄👾 #gameaudio #sounddesign #audioimplementation youtu.be/lgH4mGXZnNg?...
