Hello! 🏳️🌈 Workin with A Shell in the Pit making noises on indie games. Untitled Goose Game, Night in the Woods, Chicory, Pacific Drive, Tchia etc etc
My dog was not pleased that her kong was Big Walk's main foley prop 👁️ I used it for the grab and release sound of every other prop, all the body movements, and all the footsteps. It even came into the woods where I recorded it on the many different surfaces! 🎤
Em@emaudible.bsky.social · 17h agoYes! You win! All the character sounds in Big Walk are kong haha
First person to guess what @emaudible.bsky.social used to record it wins!
A Harrison@hyperlyss.bsky.social · yesterdayThank you guys for my favorite footstep pitter-patter in gaming 🙏❤️
Indecently pleasurable is my new favourite review shoutout 😆
Eurogamer@eurogamer.bsky.social · 2d agoHouse House's Big Walk is equally smart as their Untitled Goose Game in the way it wields its silliness, similarly playful and exuberant, and stuffed with innumerable delightful little touches. Otherwise, it's not much like Untitled Goose Game at all. Our review: https://bit.ly/3RFnP49
I will be back later with more gushing, but for now please enjoy all of our hard work. It's been so amazing to see that it's been resonating with people in the same way it has with me, and I can't wait to see more and play it ten more times with all my friends and family. 🥹
A Shell in the Pit@ashellinthepit.com · yesterdayBig Walk is out today! We've been SO lucky to get to work with @househouse.com on it, what an incredibly special experience. Here are some of @emaudible.bsky.social and @nicholaszhangaudio.bsky.social highlights that came up in one of our play tests, on working on the sound for the last 5 years 🔴🟡🔵
Had the privilege of being a tester for big walk and I can corroborate that it’s an amazing, special game. A “play together with your friends” game made with tremendous thought and care and authenticity, so well crafted it ruined other co-op games for me. Get a group together, you won’t regret it!
yes!! in case you missed it, here’s an in depth look at some of our sound design process 🥰

Her name is Ori and she was the only non human beastie allowed because she is actually a very talented voice actor. Here is the full video 🐶🎤

ok #gameaudio people of the PNW, I have an ask of you. Our Sonic Landscape is coming up and I'm looking to spread the word. I would greatly appreciate if you would share this news with another audio person to let them know about it. especially if they aren't on this site. www.oursoniclandscape.com
You might have noticed that we love frogs, and we think that you might love frogs too. Thus we have decided to take the bold leap to become a fully frog-centric development studio. As a first important step we're officially rebranding Parkitect to Frogitect. We hope you enjoy this new direction 🐸
I also can't believe it's been TEN YEARS since I've been at @ashellinthepit.bsky.social! What a wild ride it's been. Grateful to my team and all the awesome folks in the indie community that have been there for me along the way 🥰 Here's some pics of my time here through the years to celebrate 💖
Biggest announcement in a while, for me personally: I've been fired. By me. I would like to congratulate & thank our new leadership team for stepping up at @ashellinthepit.bsky.social: Rachel Sim - Studio Director @emaudible.bsky.social - Creative Director Bryson Dodwell - CTP/CFO
Since the day she started, @emaudible.bsky.social has left an indelible mark on the company. Her storytelling and guidance has helped shape the team, our approach to sound, and our culture. Em has been cultivating our creative direction and identity for years already so this was a natural decision ✨
Really proud to be a part of this team 💖🥹

BUS Game Devs - Vancouver Game Dev Series@busgamedevs.bsky.social · 5mo agoWhen your creative spark is dull, you may start doing more to find it.
