Primrows
Sounds & Ambience
Live out your backyard garden fantasy. Grow, prune, and cultivate your garden in a game of logic, chance, and pattern recognition. With an ambient soundscape and seasonal, earthy, and organic artwork, Primrows invites you to get lost in its cozy surroundings and mindful gameplay.
A lovely project I’ve been contracted to do full sound design, soundtrack and implementation of audio systems in Unity engine using FMOD middleware. Scheduled for release in late 2024.

A Reel Mystery
FMOD Project & Implementation
A detective fishing game set in cozy autumn village of animal folk. Main character is a fisherman who one day wakes up to his favorite lake being trashed in a horrible act of bio-terrorism. He goes on fishing for clues in search of the perpetrators…
Unfortunately, due to unforeseen circumstances, the game was not finished by the 2 weeks deadline.
Audio system for the project was created in FMOD and included adaptive features such as day/night ambience cycle with indoors/outdoors mix snapshots, footstep sounds based on material, music changes by area and gameplay scenes and sound emitters for water objects.
Sounds & Collectibles
Game featured fishing mechanics and various collectibles from different kinds of randomly generated fish to unique easter eggs referencing other games and media. I made some fun little ditties for each unique collectible item, to which you can listen above.
Music
Soundtrack for the game was created in a chill cozy jazz big band style. To emphasize the main plot point of the game - lake being polluted - the Clean and Dirty lake themes are twin sisters, one being lovely and pleasant vibe and the other leaning more into dissonance, awkward noises and distorted tape production.
BabyMode
Music, FMOD and UE5 Blueprints
A horror puzzle game set in a “event horizon daycare” with main mechanic being the ability to change game mode to progress through the game. The default “Babymode” is humiliatingly easy, the world is bright and colorful and you breeze through puzzles because you’re not a toddler. The “Hardmode” however is a hellscape of horrific monsters, deadly traps and grotesque environment.
Cool feature about the music, main “babymode” theme has 5 variations, each next one is darker than the previous. The more you switch to hardmode, the darker the theme gets. The demo above has all 5 versions mixed and blended into one progressively creepier tune.
Unfortunately, due to unforeseen circumstances, the game was not finished by the 2 weeks deadline.
Sounds
Game featured FPS movement, changeable environment, physics puzzles and combat encounters. The tool to switch between the modes is a spinning wheel toy, the sound of which opens the demo above.
