Custom animation pipeline co-development.IGN says:"Helping the game design in this respect is Assassin’s Creed Syndicate’s audio, which emphasises the action by bringing the different weapons available to life. While the sound of wood hitting flesh or steel slowly penetrating skin may have been created in a Canadian studio via a perfectly humane series of assaults on fruit and vegetables, it’s especially important all the sounds were right this time around given the vast array of offensive tools on offer, from throwing knives to knuckledusters."

My career in game audio started in Montpellier with the production of ZombiU. Having previously been an sound editor for the feature film industry, I got hired as the main audio artist for the project. Towards the end of the project though, I started doing more and more implementation of characters audio (player and zombies)- Audio production of all in game assets: ambiances, sound effects, foley.- Original idea and design for using death metal singers for the zombi vocalisations. We have casted, coached, recorded singers from various extreme metal bands and processed the material to obtain this unique sound signature that has been noticed and acclaim by most critic reviews.- Sound edit and mix of all cut-scenes, including dialogue in all localized languages. - All character animation Foley and sound FX implementationNinento enthusiast says:"Sound design is the thing that can really make a horror game, and ZombiU absolutely nails it. Absolutely knocks it out of the park"Pushsquare says: "...the cherry on the top of Zombi's atmosphere comes from its brilliant audio. The bloodcurdling cries of the infected will send a shiver down your spine as you explore and fight, while the up-tempo music that accompanies danger will get your heart racing. It all comes together to immerse you in the world and heighten the fear exceptionally"IGN says: "Zombi rightfully puts the emphasis on sound and lighting rather than a raw pixel count. The rough edges didn’t matter when I crept along at a snail’s pace with my eyes locked on the next dark hallway. The artists and sound designers nailed the atmosphere."
