Time to head home from another brilliant @gameaudiosymposium.bsky.social where it was a pleasure to meet new people, catch up with familiar faces and benefit from a wealth of generous knowledge share from the speakers giving talks. I'm already looking forward to next year!

Looking forward to both Game Audio Symposium and the annual social. I hope to see some of you there!

Game Audio Symposium@gameaudiosymposium.bsky.social · 4mo ago

Tomorrow night is our annual Evening Social Event!! There's still a few spaces left, so if you're in the Leeds area and fancy meeting up with a bunch of game audio folk (even if you're not attending the conference). Then sign up here: www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/game-audio...

Listing to the new Fire-Toolz album on the way to London for the BAFTA Games Forum. Looking forward to learning from, and hanging out with, fellow games industry professionals.

I'm happy to share that I will be a Mentor for Limit Break again this year.

I just finished Wanderstop. What a charming game. Loved it.

I'm on my way to Brighton for Develop. I'll be at the Metal Meet and the VGM Game Audio drinks today, and all of the Audio track talks tomorrow. Please say hello if you see me!

I'm really enjoying listening to the Justice Cow 'Live at Big, Nice Studio' performances.

New Teri Gender Bender album out today. I'm enjoying it! 🦶

I enjoyed heading over to BAFTA for the Connect Games Forum today. Some interesting panels, roundtable discussions and sweet, sweet air conditioning. Lovely to meet some new people and catch up with familiar faces. I'm now enjoying the air con of my train home.

I'm happy to have started my Limit Break mentoring journey with my first session as a mentor today. It's a great feeling to be of help to those earlier in their game audio career. Let's go!

That's a wrap on @gameaudiosymposium.bsky.social and time to reflect on all the brilliant talks. It was a pleasure meeting so many fellow game audio professionals and catching up with some familiar faces, too. Feeling energised and inspired.

I've signed up as a mentor. Perhaps you could also help?

Limit Break wouldn't be what it is today without the support from our volunteer mentors - we're always in need of more and you could be exactly what we're looking for! 👀 If you think you've got what it takes, then consider joining us as part of Limit Break 2025. ▶️ www.limitbreak.co.uk

I'm enjoying listening to the new Black Country, New Road album before work.

Today was the day! Slabby yellow send at Depot Nottingham! I guess the new goal is to tick one off at Birmingham and Manchester, and to try to climb more of them in Nottingham! Buzzing!

Climbing goal for 2025: climb a boulder problem in the V7-V8 circuit at Depot (Nottingham, Birmingham or Manchester). This feels achievable this year, which is awesome considering I was trying this same feat when I broke my ankle.

I'm very happy to be on my (rather delayed) train home from the BAFTA Games social this evening, which was my first in-person BAFTA event. Lovely to meet some new people and to see some familiar faces too.

I took part in Global Game Jam over the weekend and made Pistol Shrimp 64: Marine Life with two friends, Glen Fox and Joe Hamilton. It is a twin-stick shooter where you are a Pistol Shrimp and a Marine. hammy1202.itch.io/pistol-shrim...

Good bouldering session today. 2 new purple sends (V5-V7) and working some moves on a couple of yellows too (V7-V8).

Some highlights of 2024 as we head into a new year: First major game release with Dead Island 2: SoLA; learned to sail; made an effort to read more and got through 29 books; returned to cycletouring for a trip round Ireland. Let's see what 2025 brings.

Excited for the new film announcement from Omar Rodriguez-Lopez. Shame that I might be moving house at the same time as the international premiere, but hoping it will tour more festivals later in 2025 that I can make it to.

Today was my one year anniversary of starting work at Dambuster as an Audio Designer. Still loving it :)

Highly recommend this one. In addition to being a great game overall, it is interesting from an audio perspective, as every sound in the game is synthesised.
