OMGGG yesterday Duck Detective: the Ghost of Glamping won best audio at the German Developer Awards!!! We're absolutely stoked and especially proud of Svyatoslav Petrov our composer and @mariehavemann.bsky.social our sound designer!! 💕

I had a fantastic time at #gamescom and #ddc2025! This year, 3 of the games I was part of were showcased at gamescom. I am deeply grateful for the teams, the friendships, and every moment along the way. Huge thanks to everyone who took the time to hang out and who attended my talk at Devcom.

Heading to Devcom & Gamescom next week! I'll be giving a talk on music design Monday, then hanging around the Indie Arena Booth where „The Apartment“ is showing again 🎮🎶 Excited to catch up with everyone! <3 2nd 📸 taken at Dutch Game Day in 2023, by Arne Landsbergen #ddc2025 #gamescom #Gameaudio

As we all know the game industry is going through very turbulent times, unfortunately this has also affected several members of our collective. The silver lining is that one of the largest rooms in our coworking space in Berlin will be available from September 1st. More info in thread...

Glimpses into our #Japan Trip last year part 3: Kanazawa

Glimpses into our #Japan Trip last year part 2: Kamakura

Last year October I travelled to #Japan with my bestie Anna which was a lifelong dream of mine 😊 We took thousands of photos and I finally took the time to go through all of them so I can share them with you. Here is a first glimpse into #Tokyo - the other places will follow in the next days.

Jetzt genau hinhören! Die Nominierten für „Bestes Audiodesign“ beim #derDCP 2025 sind: 🎶 Oddada 🦆 Duck Detective ⚔️ Enshrouded Welches Audiodesign wird sich durchsetzen? Bald wissen wir mehr! 🤩

I‘ll be roaming croatia for Reboot Develop from tomorrow on! Looking forward to catching up with friends and colleagues and long walks at the beach ☺️ (Photo was taken at Reboot 2023 by lovely @julieelven.bsky.social who I will dearly miss this year)

Wow, our game Duck Detective has been nominated for the German Video Game Award in two categories: „Best Audio Design“ and „Best Mobile Game“!! #derDCP #GameAudio

Hey #SteamNextFest! 🍞 This campsite might have ghosts, but the real thing haunting Eugene McQuacklin is his failed marriage and bread addiction. Enjoy our demo and waddle around the world of Duck Detective: The Ghost of Glamping. Please let us know what you think!! 🦆

ARTE just released a 15 Min TRACKS video all about #GameMusic, and I had the pleasure of being one of the composers they interviewed for it last year 😊 . In it you can catch a glimpse of what I’ve been up to lately. Check it out here: www.arte.tv/de/videos/12... Would love to hear what you think! 🎶

While each update of Albion Online comes with fresh content, it’s still extra special when we get to introduce new music. This time, I’ve had the pleasure to write the sneaky and secretive theme for the „Smuggler’s Den“ where the Smuggler’s Syndicate operates. I hope you enjoy the new track too!

I‘m back from Japan! I had a great time exploring together with my friend Anna and am still sorting through all the wonderful photos we took. But Berlin has me back and I will be roaming Most wanted:Music Conference and Gamesground the upcoming week, in the late afternoons. Hope to see you there!

Fährt von den Berlinern morgen jemand mit dem Auto zum DEP nach Köln? Die Bahn hat Streiks angekündigt für Freitag - ich suche daher nach einer Rückfahrmöglichkeit am Freitag 🥺

Went to a screaming workshop today and managed to do a Fry Scream for the first time. Now I am back home and feel so peaceful in my body - it has been a long time since I felt like that.

I’m excited to share that we are expanding the Audio Department at Sandbox Interactive! We are looking for an Experienced Audio Designer to join our team. You will be working directly with me on creating Audio for Albion Online. Apply here: sandbox-interactive-gmbh.jobs.personio.com/job/1295102?...

It’s been such a pleasure to visit the netherlands! I was there to give a talk about Audio Budgets at #DutchGameDay & visited the lovely Mascha. There was also a recording for Audiokinetic as well as a day full of talks on #GameAudio. And Mascha & her colleagues showed me around the Guerilla Office

Sad to hear about the layoffs at <#VideoGame company that prints money> and <second #VideoGame company that just posted record profits>. We're hiring at <wildly overscoped game that began as a #Kickstarter project which couldn't even fund the webpage>. It'll be different here. We promise.

Tomorrow I‘ll be demystifying the process of budgeting Audio for Games at #dutchgameday (powered by Control Magazine). I‘m excited! It‘s going to be my last talk for this year and I will take a break from doing talks for a bit after - so catch me while you still can! #GameAudio #WomeninTech

Took a little break over the last weekend and went to the baltic sea with my friend Philipp. I need to do more little trips like that. And big trips too.

I love this so much ❤️

Devcom/Gamescom Recap:  🎤I gave a talk about music design at #ddc2023 💡I’ve learned new things attending talks ❤️I could reconnect with friends & peers I have not seen in years, or in “real” yet. It was so lovely to spend time with all of you <3 📝We even got serious and signed a contract in person!

It’s time! Today at 12 PM I will give my talk about music design which is packed with tips on how to approach music decisions for your game! See you at #ddc2023 on Stage 6 😊 I will also be at #gamescom after and am looking forward to catching up with everyone! <3 #gamemusic #gameaudio
