What clients / employeers say
Mira Dorthé Other Tales Interactive
There is a great level of detail in Troel’s work, from the rustling of pine needles in a forest to the old wooden boards creaking in the wind. All these little details, that complement the graphics and expand the image outside what you see, are what makes our game come even more alive
Astrid Mie Refstrup Triple Topping
Troels made our game come together! It's a pleasure to work with someone who is professional, fun and understand your ideas and dreams for the game

Music composition
As a technical sound designer and composer I ensure that the soundscape matches the game universe and that it is consistent. I also ensure that the audio is properly implemented through Wwise, that it runs well and meets platform specific requirements. I have profound experience using Unreal Engine 4 Blueprint for audio tools and gameplay logic. I have several years of experience creating sound effects and have composed and produced music for many years

Excellent sound design and the previously mentioned beauty of the world around you really give the feeling of being a tourist in another world

You awake after hundreds of years of sleep, in an abandoned land and no memory of your past. Immersed in this world of dark beauty, thrilling mystery and ancient puzzles, you embark on a quest to find out what happened in this world, and to discover who you are. Aporia is a first person adventure and puzzle game using no text or dialogue but relies on environmental story telling and projected animations
Tick Tock - A Tale for Two
Publisher: Coffee Stain
Developer: Other Tales Interactive
Release date: March 2019
My role: Sound Designer, Wwise audio implementation, Composer
Tick Tock: A Tale for Two is a two-player co-op adventure game that is all about communication. Players have to unravel a narrative together and talk to each other about what they are doing in order to solve puzzles. In my opinion Other Tales nailed the feeling you usually get from participating in an escape / mystery room
