Year of Release: 2020

Task: Sound Design, Music Rework, Audio Implementation

Developer: Purple Lamp
Publisher: THQ Nordic

My first project at Purple Lamp was “Rehydrated”, a remake of the classic Spongebob title “Battle for Bikini Bottom”. As the sole sound designer, I joined the team late, inheriting a project with a mono soundtrack and tight deadlines.

My main challenge was to enhance and expand the existing sound design quickly – polishing the SFX and improving the mono soundtrack, while maintaining the original game’s nostalgic feel.

To achieve this, I used specific audio techniques to up-mix the mono soundtrack into stereo format, and added layers and instruments to make up for a lack of depth and width.
