Derrick Reyes, Studio Director
A word (or two) from our Studio Director
I love video games. I love playing them and I love making them. Like many other developers I grew up playing games on my NES and I was deeply and profoundly influenced by the soundscapes of those early experiences. I’ve seen games grow from a toy to an art form and shared life changing emotional experiences with players all over the world.
​
I am now fortunate to be at a place in my life where I can take part, alongside other brilliant developers and artists, in the creation process of these games. Creation of stories, immersion, and unforgettable experiences for players just like me. Crafting game audio is my hobby, my passion, and my dream and I am fortunate to be able to share these qualities with others as a partner, a teacher, and a colleague.
​
My team and I have had the pleasure of working on MMOs, shooters, mobile, VR/AR, PC, and console titles. Our journey has involved working in many sectors of the game audio industry from AAA and indie production, to public speaking and education. We have learned that personal connection, player empathy, and invested artistry makes for great games.
As such, our development philosophy revolves heavily around supporting the dev teams we work with in a connected and personalized way. We care deeply about the projects we have the opportunity to work on and we want the process to feel personal. We believe in supporting small projects with passionate vision but constrained budgets and so we always offer flexible fee structures and a willingness to work with our clients to find terms that are agreeable to everyone.
​
Let’s forge something great, together.
