Five Stars
in the Dark
Five Stars in the Dark is a driving simulator with a twist: the player character is blind, and must rely on audio clues and dialogue from passengers to navigate the road and deliver their customer to their destination safely.

I worked as the sound designer on this project at UCSC from January 2020 to June 2020. I created SFX assets that were implemented by the programming for my first proper endeavor into sound design.
Level 1 Mix
The following is a dialogue sequence mixed with environmental SFX for the programming team to implement using markers to skip to and from certain points during gameplay. This sequence is for the first level, in which the player is driving a character named Dianne to her destination, and the two make idle conversation during the drive.
Audio Showcase
The following video showcases some of the SFX assets created for Five Stars in The Dark.
