  • I'm interested in this - I'm a composer & sound designer, with lots of projects under my belt (including working with Scirra!).

    My site is mjomusic.co.uk and if you'd like to chat my Skype is mjomusic.co.uk

    Many thanks!

    I also created the original music and a selection of sound effects that are bundled with Construct 2.

    I am currently accepting custom audio requests for the creation of original music for your game. Head over to MJOMusic.co.uk to see my portfolio of tracks, as well as original sound effects.

  • I'm afraid I don't, but I'm working in Qu?bec, Canada. I'm curious to hear what kind of mod was that?

    And no worries for the question, this is an AMA after all. :D

    Ah maybe he was in France, not sure... We worked together on the Make Something Unreal contest on a mod called Atlantis. Quite a while ago now...

  • Hi there!

    I'm Matt and I helped bring some of the music and sound effects to Construct 2. I've always had a love for gaming and years ago I entered the Make Something Unreal contest for UT2003 and worked on the mods Atlantis and Frag.Ops - although I was actually lead animator on both of those teams.

    Anyway somewhere down the line I gave up animating and got back into music and here I am now. Graduated from the University of Hull with a degree in Creative Music Technology and set myself up as a freelance composer and sound designer and haven't looked back since...

    Great to be part of Construct and it's awesome seeing what you guys can come up with!

    Thanks!

  • This is going to be a strange question, but have you worked with a guy called Florent Guillame at Ubi? We worked on a mod a few years ago and I heard he got a job there!

    Apologies this is not a game design question...
