About:

My name is Jack Menhorn and I am a composer and sound designer for video games.  Below are some example of projects I have worked on.  In addition there are some example of WWise audio engine implementation.  Please also take a look at my respective Sound Design and Music pages for even more examples of my work.

Projects:

Offworld:

-Created all in-game sound effects.  Implemented sfx using Unity3D with custom animation and scripting plugins.  Additional music.  The focus of the SFX was to get a good quality Sci-Fi, robot, machine aesthetic with the sound while staying within memory budgets, which did not afford much in the way of variation or dynamics, given the limitations of the device.  

The Haunted: Hells-Reach:

-Created additional monster voices/sounds, character foley, ambiences.  Responsible for placing sounds in levels using Unreal Editor.  Also set up SoundCues for all of the previously mentioned work.  Created all in-game music.  My primary role in SFX was to fill in gaps in sound design late in the development cycle.  I created monster sounds for 90% of the enemies including the boss, as most of the ambience sounds.  I cannot take credit for the player voices however.

Quality Assurance Tester, Villain/Elephant Mouse

Education 

Greensboro College, Greensboro, NC — B.A. Music Composition, 2010

inMomentum:

-Created character, power-up and UI sound effects.  Edited tutorial dialogue.  Also set up SoundCues for all of the previously mentioned work.  My focus was on creating clean, subtle character foley and power-up SFX and blending them well with existing assets and music.

Kyoto:

-Created all music and SFX.  Implemented using custom interface created by programmer Eddie Lee.  Attempted to seamlessly blend SFX with the music to create a scene that was a bit of it's own instrument while not detracting from the gameplay experience itself.

Wwise SFX Demo Reel:

-Video demonstrating using fundamentals of Wwise including: Game Syncs, Switch Containers, RTPCs, Events and Jawas.
