About the Project
Junk Knight — a first-person 3D game developed by second-year students: Egor Ignatov, Anna Rudenko, Arina Sudakova, and Vladislav Rodin.
I took on the role of sound designer, creating the complete voiceover for the video game and integrating it into the FMOD audio engine.
Concept
You play as a slimy mimic. His greatest dream is to become a noble knight. However, instead of shining armor, there’s just a pile of junk around him.
Enemies
The inhabitants of the dump are not pleased by the knight’s arrival. The trash monsters attack in waves, constantly changing their tactics and weaponry. Mimi must adapt on the fly: fighting with what is at hand, scavenging trophies from fallen enemies, and diving back into battle.
Courses
The protagonist is incredibly vulnerable. To survive and fend off enemies, he must equip himself with whatever is lying around. Any found junk can be worn. Each item grants the character a new unique ability.
This explores the theme of the «wrong tool for the job» project.
Sound Design
For this project, I developed the complete audio design for the game. This included sound effects for player and enemy actions, interface voiceovers, recording and processing of character voices, ambient soundscapes, and numerous other in-game sounds.
As a result, the project achieved full sonic production, incorporating over 300 unique audio assets. Furthermore, by integrating the sound system into FMOD, I implemented dynamic playback variations, making the sound design more diverse and responsive to the gameplay.
Music
The music is inspired by the soundscapes of classic RPGs and utilizes the timbres of vintage synthesizers. This musical style was chosen to complement the game’s visual aesthetic, which references the graphics of 90s video games.
Two compositions were written for the project: a main menu theme and an interactive gameplay track. During the game, the music dynamically shifts based on the action, adding or removing musical layers according to the situation and battle intensity.
