The Current

Bird Island Project – Sound Design & Music

Project Overview

The Current is a Run-Based Narrative game with a unique world to explore, developed by Bird Island. 

Key areas of my sound design work included:

  • Combat Sounds & UI: Designed and implemented ability sounds for both the Player Character and enemies, along with responsive UI and feedback sounds that supports gameplay.
  • Ambience: Created detailed ambiences for the the three biomes, with a strong focus on helping guide the player to POI’s. From the deep gusts of wind hinting at a hidden cave to the buzzing of flies indicating a nearby corpse, the ambience played an active role in exploration and storytelling.
  • Misc SFX: Designed a range of additional sound effects supporting story beats, encounters and world interactions throughout the game.
