Beyond that, I also work on game design and programming for games, including a capstone project of mine called "Bond: Wish of the Forest"! It's a creature collector roguelite where you fend off corruption encroaching the forest. Lots of cool changes planned for that game, so keep an eye out!

Haven't been on in a while, but hi to my new followers! Figured I should do a re-introduction soo...

I'm riko! I'm a game developer, composer and sound designer currently studying at Berklee. I write music in a variety of styles, and am also learning sound design!

What are four albums that would serve as an introduction to your musical tastes?

Mine's really all over the place lol, don't really stick to a particular genre

Bit late cuz I've been busy with work but yeah, Undertale is singlehandedly responsible for my pursuit of game design and turning out as a enby pink shark! Really weird how things turned out, but grateful nonetheless

Also big shoutouts to @adrotic.com for helping me make the pixel art last minute!

Finished polishing up a little immersive experience project I worked on for one of my classes last semester! It's a game where the left and right perspectives view the world completely differently!

Finally wrapped up a sound redesign project for a scene from the original The Last Of Us game! Everything you hear in this clip was replaced by me, including the dialogue which my good friends Logan and Pez provided voice talent for!

Wanted to share a little sound redesign I did a while back! This is the alterattack for the Anchor Boom weapon from Windblown. Had lots of fun working on this one!

As promised, here's a sneak peek of my little synth sound design project for class! These are 5 Vital synth patches inspired by the different planets of Outer Wilds, each created with exploring said planets in mind.

Here's a quick preview of a music project I recently worked on 🎧!

I was asked to rescore a game that had exploration/battle states for class and decided to do an orchestral rescore of In Stars And Time! Had a lot of fun with this one.

Just finished up another quick track🎧!

This is "From Ruminations To Illuminations", written for the Berklee Video Game Music Club (VGMC) Mini Game Monthly writing challenge. The theme for this month was "Detective"!

If you would like me to work on music for a project/commission or talk about music in general do hit me up (time willing of course I'm suffering through Berklee class workload TwT)! I'd be more than happy to nerd out about music in general.

also send me all your shark and moth pictures
