A screenshot of the nest from the outside. 

Nest Quest is a children's platformer collectathon meant to provide simple, entertaining fun for young children without any risk. You are Nessie, a single mother duck of 5 little ducklings! Everything goes awry when a storm hits, causing you to lose your nest and ducklings! Run, jump, and glide your way though the park to collect your ducklings, as they help you collect sticks and pieces to build your nest out, and really make your house a home!  The more sticks you collect, the larger your nest and the more decorations you can fit into it! 

I was the sound director for the project. I composed the seven-song soundtrack in FL Studio, as well as created or used free-use sources for sound effects. I created documents documenting the audio direction for the game, first as a concept and then with final asset lists and final direction for the game as a whole.  I also implemented all audio, including programming (using Unreal Engine's Blueprint system) a system to switch music in the level that saves where the music was at, so the song doesn't start over every single time the song changes.

I worked directly with members of the art and design team to create a unified aesthetic for the game's music that was in line with the game's art and gameplay, meeting with them every week to discuss the game's direction, including music for the game. I specifically worked closely with the art team for the opening cutscene music, to make it line up with the events of the cutscene as it was being animated by constantly checking on the progress of the cutscene such as the animatic and storyboard.
