Wizard Wars

About

Wizard Wars was developed by Mads Hermansen and is a charming multiplayer game involving tiny teleporting wizards shooting each other with fireballs.

My Work

The pixilated style caused me to seek inspiration in the arcade/gameboy-area of game music, resulting in a very synth-based and percussive theme with a “squary” sound. However as the game is heavily packed with features from the fantasy genre, I of course had to bring in some strings and horns making the end result an epic-fantasy-nintendo-kind-of-boss-battle theme. 

As I had no clue how to do sound design at this point in my life, I simply recorded myself mimicking the sounds with my mouth and processing it using distortion, EQ, flanger and whatever I thought was cool.
