Dead Island 2 gameplay is here for the the world to see, come listen to what all the audio team have been pouring their gorey hearts into youtu.be/pHOqRtA4OK8
Got around to our first play through of Oath tonight. After my brain finally clicked you really can feel the world bending with you. Excited to see what madness this ‘Muppets does Game of thrones’ leads to

Finished @coalsupper 's Thank Goodness you're here in a single sitting. Glorious absurdism that I need more of in my life. Audio was a fantastic breath of fresh air and a much welcome antidote to the AAA audio we often surround ourselves in as sound designers.
Big shout out to Big Ron's @disappointment delicious performance, can the Billy stock big pies now?

AUDIO DIRECTOR FRIENDS - I'm sure you've seen in the dev news that Sumo has had some tough times recently and needed to lay off a percentage of our devs. I'm sad to say my friend Sully was one of the people affected by this and is now looking for work elsewhere as a sound designer. I can whole heartedly recommend him, he's talented, hard working and just a generally awesome dude. He'd be a great addition to any team, so please reach out and snap him up!

Just uploaded our presentation from GACO23 looking at how game audio might adapt some concepts from acoustic ecology, including UE demos of how you might do this using env following, spectral analysis, metasounds and audio busses

This makes me sad. Honestly, I'd prefer the GTA approach, where they patched out the licenced content rather than pulling the game entirely.
Timed licenced content in games is dumb and should never be a thing.
I’ll be at @developconf speaking with the lovely @ryanwilliamsaud about some of the weird and wonderful things we found when exploring diegetic music for @deadislandgame , come along and say hi if you can!
Don't miss out on audio maestros Matthew Lightbound (@MattLightbound) and Ryan Williams (@ryanwilliamsaud) from @DambusterStudio at Develop: Brighton 2024. Join them as they delve into the creative processes behind the audio of Dead Island 2. #DevelopConf

Unfortunately, a tabloid newspaper has got hold of a music video I recorded in Islington North with an iconic grime artist I've admired for years.
They are planning to publish a heavily edited clip, so I'm releasing the full version myself. Watch here: tinyurl.com/yeymfb96
