My Contribution

Theremin. I got to use a theremin. I also got to explore cool textures in orchestration that kept things lighthearted and also serious. I also got to play around with developing the main motif, heard in all of the tracks of the game. I explored a lot of options working with layered ostinatos and different styles of orchestration throughout the different game states, such as adding a different battle theme for when the player is about to complete a task, adding to the intensity that if the player messes up here, that have to restart the house.

One of the challenges I faced was realizing that every team I worked with had a different workflow and a different way of approaching things, especially when it comes to working in Unity. the team that worked on Bewitching Boba had a completely different Unity hierarchy structure than the team that worked on House Haunters, and this was the other game that I used FMOD to implement the audio in. Being able to communicate directly with the team, ask questions, and work face to face with them was such a benefit that kept me from getting stuck on implementation.
