Fury of the Weald

Brackeys Game Jam 2022.2 Entry

You are not alone. The silent solitude of the weald has been interrupted by humans, once again. You, the forest's guardian spirit, must roust these insolent pests and destroy their vile machines. Cleanse the land of the humans' waste, and show no mercy as you invoke the wrath of Mother Nature.

Won 1st Place in the Audio category out of 1081 Entries!

My Contributions:

  • Designed all sound effects.

  • Implemented all sound using FMOD, including the light C# scripting required for complex events.

  • Created a set of tones that slowly build up as the player captures a destroyed generator that scales with any capture time. The evolution of the sound is done using a “percentage complete” variable that is communicated to FMOD.

  • Implemented adaptive music by using a C# script to update FMOD variables in time with the music. Notably, a boolean representing whether a generator zone needs to be captured controls the change in the instrumentation of the battle theme.

MaxMSP Prototyping

UCSC Class Projects (Music 124)

Simple synthesizers prototyped using MaxMSP

I intended the title theme, Eclipse, to be a representation of the main character's feelings as the game progresses. It starts out slow and distorted as Eclipse wakes up, and becomes clearer and clearer over time as they explore the factory and learn more about its past. Each time they die, their sense of self and existence becomes stronger. What they experience slowly becomes a part of them, and the melodies of the different tracks heard throughout the game flutter by in a collage of memories. In a similar manner, these melodies become more and more familiar to the player as they progress.Morse code translating to "Eclipse" repeats throughout the track, as if something is calling out to them. It stays constant even as the track becomes louder and clearer. Though they never quite understand it, Eclipse feels a deep urge to wake up after years of dormancy; there's something they need to do, and they must do it no matter how many deaths it may take.
