For this project I was a sound designer using programming to ensure the progression of the game and to find new ways in which to play my audio 

What I gained through the process of working on the game

• Gained experience working with FMOD
• Gained the experience of working on a game in a group
• Tested and refined systems through iteration 
• Gained experience fixing bugs on a long term game
• Gained experience playtesting 
• Participated in First Thursday a planned event held by the school where we had an estimated 25 to 35 people play tested the game

Audio

•  Designed and play tested sound effects
  • Went through a trial and error process to hone in on the silly and spooky feel of the game
  • Made five variations of each sound effect idea the group had
  • Constantly playtesting and revising until the right feeling came across
• Designed and play tested background music
  • Took time getting used to making junk (jazz funk) music 
  • Created a sound direction doc to help me get in the right head space to make junk music
  • Researched jazz funk to understand what defined it and what i was drawn to in it

Programming 

• Made a jukebox
  • Wrote a design brief for my idea (originally was a radio)
  • Presented the idea to my group
  • Researched and implemented a prototype of my idea
  • Translated the normal code and default unity audio elements to work with FMOD
• Gained experience working with FMOD code
  • Spent time researching FMOD code and the game elements that come with FMOD to be able to make games with it
• Setup scoring system (sauce bottle) and collectables (fear sauce)
  • Quickly implemented for First Thursday playtesting to give player purpose and juice
  •  Proved to be more complex than anticipated (constant bug fixing)
  • Programmed the collectables to spawn when victims were scared in a set sphere around the victim at a random point
