    paper Game Audio Lead and Music Composer at Team FBW

    This was my first game audio work ever. The work begun and was completed during the spring of 2019. The start of the global COVID pandemic made life and work very difficult but regardless I am very pleased with how the game turned out and the audio/music I was able to create. The game is fun and very play-intuitive so the I wanted to emphasise the feeling of freedom and discovery in the music.

    Fat Bear Week was also selected as the Weekly Vote Winner in the Gave Development World Championship 2020 competition, among being selected as a Fan Favorite Finalist in the competition, and getting 2nd place in the Hobby category for the 2020 GDWC Awards!
