Content Award 2011 – Category “Partner Price”.
German Developer Price 2011 – Category “Best Social Game”.

What I enjoy most about doing game audio is

when you completely understand the developers wishes.

When Helmut from socialspiel and me were brainstorming

and he told me: “we need fish, countryside and a little urban touch”

I felt challenged but I knew what to do.

So after composing the melody and fixing the tempo,

I decided to let the countryside reflect through “soft-cliché” instruments.

Instead of recording harps and banjos,

I asked Paul to play it with Ukuleles and Melodicas.

We tried out the rhythm with electronic beats and synth-bass,

which turned out to be too hard, so I played the drums myself.

To mix the Ukulele-Melodica Cocktail with accoustic drums gave the theme its little extra.

Producing the second track and the sounds was like going on holiday.

I took my Sony PCM-D50 and made a trip to Admont in Styria.

For the atmo, fishing rods and fish-sound design, the area was perfect.

I took my guitar, sat beneath a tree and just played a melody

while looking at the wide landscape.

It took some hours and I got it.

The rest was studio work with Paul, who played it,

and me doing percussion.

Making the audio for Tight Lines Fishing was great, due to very inspiring moments

and funny situations with owners of a fishing pond.

Helmut Hutterer and the team of socialspiel made a great social game

and gave us the possibility

to let it sound great!

Tight Lines Fishing is a social fishing adventure which takes place on Facebook.

Players compete amongst each other online to catch the biggest fish. But it doesn’t stop there,

train your skill, customize your character and equip gear to catch better fish.

Push was the first game for which I was composing music and producing sounds.

At this time thanks’ to socialspiel and to Florian Lettner!

When I first saw the concept-art I was impressed by “Pon Du Bear”- the funny and outstanding figure in this game.

It reminds me of a mix between Al Capone, adrag queen and a stoned grizzly bear.

Socialspiel wanted me to compose a funny and a moody jazz track for this game.
Push – Main by lukas_sound42
Push – Gameplay by lukas_sound42

Most of the sounds in this game were recorded with the instruments from the main track,

but for the Bear and the sweet little “pops” I was doing voice overs with a female jazz singer.

The other sounds, like “fur” sounds, I finished with some Foley techniques.

Due to the effort of the whole team and with thousands of “likes” in facebook,

Push won the Austrian Multimedia Staatspreis in the category “Games, Entertainment, Fun” 2011

Push is an easy-to-use casual online board game where you can compete with your friends

in a stylish and addictive turn-based browser environment.

The game stars the eccentric in-game character Pon Du Bear who loves board games,

playing with his friends in his stylish mansion, relaxing in his retro Eames chair and eating his beloved Pops.
