carter Menary, sound designer & game designer

I am a game developer specializing in sound design and game design.

Since 2019, I have gained experience developing in Unity and Unreal Engine, as well as audio middleware solutions FMOD and Wwise on several projects.

I majored in Game Development & Entrepreneurship at Ontario Tech University from 2018 to 2022, gaining a Bachelor’s of IT (Honours). During my tenure, I founded the Game Sound Club and served as its president for two consecutive years, conducting weekly sessions on a variety of game audio topics.

Through sound design, I aim to improve the immersion, impact, and enjoyment of the game while providing satisfying feedback to the player. I make heavy use of Foley and my ever-growing personal audio library, and utilize adaptive audio to the fullest extent I can per project.

With regards to game design, my goal is to always provide a tight-knit and purposeful experience, being a fan of emergent gameplay opportunities and player freedom through gameplay expression.

Outside of game development, I have produced multiple music releases under my name and have produced all releases to date with my indie alternative rock band separator, which I am the backing vocalist and guitarist of. I love going on runs, travelling, and films.
