Magnetic: Cage Closed

Magnetic: Cage Closed started out as a school project at the University of Skövde, Sweden.

We continued developing the game after school and won the award for Best Technical Execution at the Swedish Game Awards 2014. Here we also got nominated for Best Audio Execution. This is also when the company Guru Games was by some of the team's members. I remained as the audio designer, but as a freelancer.

Lever Sound

Project | Magnetic: Cage Closed

The sound of the levers is built up from recordings of metal scraping, door handles and and different door locks. Watch the film clip to see more in depth how it was done.

Tesla Coil Sound

Project | Magnetic: Cage Closed

Electricity is random, wild and unpredictable. Very important factors when creating this sound. Watch the film clip to see more in depth how it was done.

Spike Trap Sound

Project | Magnetic: Cage Closed

The low hissing sound from the sliding swords followed by the metallic bang when they hit the stop. The aim was to create a feeling similar to getting attacked by a snake. When you hear the hissing warning sound, it's already too late. Watch the film clip to see more in depth how it was done.

Seesaw Sound

Project | Magnetic: Cage Closed

The seesaws in Magnetic are large and made out of metal. It was important to make a dynamic sound that well represents the speed of which the seesaw is moving. Watch the film clip to see more in depth how it was done.

Metal Gate Sound

Project | Magnetic: Cage Closed

Each time metal scratches against metal a unique sound is generated. To achieve this, three audio channels were used for the sound event with different recorded loops, all with randomized starting times. Watch the film clip to see more in depth how it was done.

Metal Gate Sound

Project | Magnetic: Cage Closed

This sound is built up from recordings of trains, a washing machine, chains dragged over metal, a ticking bicycle, drawers opening and closing, a camera lens motor and more. Watch the film clip to see more in depth how it was done.

Metal Gate Sound

Project | Magnetic: Cage Closed

The Magnet Gun is the main tool you as a player have in the game Magnetic. My goal was to create a vibrant, responsive sound that also gives a clear indication of how much power is applied with the Magnet Gun. Watch the film clip to see more in depth how it was done.

Glass Door Sound

Project | Magnetic: Cage Closed

The motors struggle with opening the heavy unbreakable glass doors. Each time the door is opened, the hard working motors sound a bit different. Watch the film clip to see more in depth how it was done.

Flamethrower Sound

Project | Magnetic: Cage Closed

The flamethrowers use three separate sound events - Open Hatch, Flame and Close Hatch. Watch the film clip to see more in depth how these were done.

Box Counter Sound

Project | Magnetic: Cage Closed

The box counters in Magnetic are mechanically built little machines with cogwheels and gears that tells how many boxes are left in the dispensers. The display consists of several metal plates in a row and to change the number they spin in a certain way. Watch the film clip to see more in depth how it was done.
