Hey #indiedev community- could you benefit from some custom music from yours truly? I’m looking for a couple clients that need music for their projects!

I specialize in horror, ambient, smooth/sexy rnb, upbeat anthems, and everything in between :)

Also, open to work with #filmmakers 😁

Jonny Doobs @jonnydoobs.bsky.social · Aug 12

If I told you I made this for a horror game would you believe me?

Shameless bump to let everyone know I'm open for commission for sound effects, music, and implementation!

Let me handle the audio for your indie game :)

Death Stranding 2 redesign 👶

I replaced all sounds using field recording, layering, synthesis, heavy processing of library sounds, and composed some relaxing music for the inventory menu. It's a blend of everything I do! 😁

In the meantime I’m looking for more work in #musiccomposition #sounddesign #gameaudio

Putting in more work with my 🎾 game; was deadset about having the mouse wheel spin the racket

Took some clever blueprint scripting to get it to look and feel smooth like this

Updated and finished this:

Added an on/off switch for lights and Bluetooth speaker (on/off for speaker has custom SFX)

Updated the reverb and attenuation scripting to make it sound more realistic

Can you imagine using this bathroom 😍 #UnrealEngine
