MattDearGameAudio Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 Hi! My name is Matt Dear, I am a sound designer, composer and audio implementor. I've combined my two great passions of audio and gaming to create in-your-face, highly varied audio assets! Portfolio: https://soundcloud.com/matthewdear-1 Here are a few points about me: - I've been making audio for games since 2014, during that time I've worked on a wide variety of projects covering many different styles. - I run a pro-quality home studio; capable of both realistic, high quality recordings and far-out conceptual effects/ambiences. - I also do freelance work at OMUK's London studio. OMUK are a world-renonowned dialogue studio, working on games since 1996! - You can view my Soundtrack, SFX and dialogue portfolios via my website http://matthewdear.tumblr.com/ - Last year I completed an online course using Wwise audio implementation software. I've since used this knowledge to program my own audio systems. You can see a demo of my Wwise work here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AzGzWWOzsiU Some examples of my previous work: - Unknown Fate - first-person, VR, puzzle game - Sound Design & SFX http://store.steampowered.com/app/510390/Unknown_Fate/ - Folk Tale - RTS RPG - SFX http://store.steampowered.com/app/224440/ - Heart Forth Alicia - Side-scroller RPG - SFX in collaboration with developer Alonso Martin https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MQUcjcQpshc - Horizon Zero Dawn: Frozen Wilds - Dialogue Editor - Warhammer End Times: Vermintide & Warhammer: Vermintide 2 - Recording Engineer & Dialogue Editor - Bananadoh! - Mobile Game - SFX & Music - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xoPw27ro5BE - Rising Legends - Retro side-scrolling beat'em'up - SFX http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=628812789 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L3COd85u44g&list=PLQkzN1PTj-9vk8xjEZoK8iY4_ySLtKXUb&index=5 - Clicker Guild - Steam game - SFX https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=700666734 - 'Puzzle House: Mystery Rising' - iOS game - SFX http://www.pocketgamer.co.uk/r/Android/Puzzle+House%3A+Mystery+Rising/video.asp?c=64147 You can see more of my audio-video demos here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLQkzN1PTj-9vk8xjEZoK8iY4_ySLtKXUb Please get in touch if you like what you hear, my rates vary depending on complexity/style and can be flexible to meet your budget.
