This is a showcase of all the sound effects I created for all TLG heroes' combat skills. (Timestamps below.)

For this project, I was responsible for all aspects of sound design, audio implementation, and in-game mixing and mastering. Every sound and source material in this game was created entirely from scratch through recording and synthesis, and further manipulated through processing, layering, and sweetening.

The main creative challenge here — besides trying to make them sound as vibrant as they look — was to depict the unique style and personality of each character using sound. To achieve that, I established a sonic palette for each hero, starting from simple keywords I noted down while reading the GDD.

More specifically:

• Mechanical, tonal, and cartoonish for Davinci

• Smoky, harsh, and cutting for Mr. Fox

• Synthetic, industrial, and gritty for Ran Tran Trum

• Playful, musical, and light for Mauhen

• Anime-inspired, cursed, and dark for Sarangalyn

• Soul-bound, athletic, and hefty for Chaska

• Luminous, ethereal, awe-like, and immensely powerful for Ghost

These reference points allowed me to stay grounded during the design process, and helped me stay true to the stylistic concept and direction, while also having fun with a ton of creative experimentation.

There’s something magical about the moment when you start hearing the first drafts of those sounds that had been buzzing in your head finally taking shape.

Here’s the final result—I hope you enjoy it!
