Game Audio Designer





Passionate about video game sound design for both its artistic and technical aspects, combining reflection on interactive design and integration methods, I also like to develop tools that improve workflow and prototype various systems, in order to explore new interactive approaches.

MSFS 2024 - Skyship600
Asobo Studio (2024-2025)
For the Skyship 600, an airship model from 1984, the design process was different. Indeed, we were not able to record it, so I first did a job of looking for sound references and information about the type of motorization and propellers. And using the sounds of a Porsche 930 and an electric glider's propeller, I was able (paradoxically) to simulate the authentic sound of the airship.

MSFS 2024 - Wind turbine
Asobo Studio (2024-2025)
In addition to airplanes, I worked on elements of the world, like the wind turbines. My main objective was to reproduce the sound of the blades (woosh) when they pass near the player, and modulate the sound characteristics according to the wind speed.

From a logical perspective, the condition "a sound passing near a listener" is similar to the Doppler effect. So, I started by using the Doppler value calculated by the simulation to modulate the volume, HPF, and LPF of a soundseed air wind to transform it into a woosh. This allowed me to spatialize and synchronize the sound with the blades passing in front of the camera. However, for high wind speeds, it didn’t sound very good, so I created a blend towards a soundseed air woosh (which didn’t need to be perfectrly synchronized at that speed).

Multiplayer TPS Footsteps system
UE5 Prototype (2025)
This is a presentation of the footstep system and dynamic ambience I've designed for the demo game Lyra.
Multiplayer third-person shooter like this one are particularly interesting from an audio design perspective — especially regarding audio priorities and player feedback.
This is an ongoing project. The final goal is to design and implement sound systems for all parts of the game.
I’m also considering integrating the proximity voice chat system I've worked on (see below), to see how it fits into this type of game.

MSFS 2024 - Tools
Asobo Studio (2024-2025)
On MSFS 2024, I've also worked on tool updates, to ensure compatibility with production changes, and to enhance ergonomics. I've also developed small programs that allowed me to automate tasks or verify large amounts of assets (.xml or .wwu files).
