Gravastar
Indie sci-fi fantasy JRPG
(In Development)
Sound design for an in-development indie JRPG developed by Studio Atma. Gravastar combines a story-driven JRPG structure with a fast-paced, conditional turn-based combat system that incorporates real-time button-combo inputs.My work focuses on supporting this hybrid design through clear combat feedback, responsive action cues, and tonal consistency across exploration, combat, and UI. Particular care is given to readability during rapid player input and maintaining a cohesive sci-fi fantasy tone within a nostalgic JRPG framework.
DC DUAL FORCE
Digital Collectible
Card Game
Sound design for a digital collectible card game built around turn-based combat and character-driven abilities within an established fictional universe. The video above focuses entirely on in-game character emotes, highlighting short-form performance, timing, and expressive UI feedback within a systems-heavy, menu-forward structure.Particular care is taken to maintain audio clarity while respecting established character identity, tonal expectations, and in-universe lore, ensuring each emote supports gameplay readability while remaining consistent with the broader narrative framework.
