Preston's Website

Hi, my name is Preston Wright.

I am a sound designer

which means that I record, design, implement, and mix audio for video games and video game trailers! Since 2020 I have been working at A Shell in the Pit.

working at A Shell in the Pit.

This website is for documenting things that I do and things that I like.

Listed below are some projects I've sound designed for. Click on one to find out more!

Thank Goodness You're Here

"An absurd comedy slapformer set in the bizarre Northern English town of Barnsworth."

A project so fun that I am moving to Northern England to meet all the characters in person. Here's the trailer, and here's a link to the game's website. Coming out in 2024!

Gubbins

"It's a word game."

Gubbins is a sound designer's dream project. I worked on the trailer and subsequently directed audio for the game. We even won an award!

Beastieball

"A monster-taming sports adventure game where you, the coach, explore the world to find collectable 'Beasties' that can be used to play volleyball and win titles."

After 'Chicory: A Colorful Tale', I once again have the pleasure of working with the same amazing team on this new project! Here's the trailer. Coming 2024!

Pepper Grinder *

"An action-packed pirate adventure starring the titular Pepper, a seafaring soul with a passion for prospecting, and Grinder, her super-powered drilling device."

Here's the cinematic trailer.

Poinpy

"A vertical climber where you get fruit, make juice, and feed the hungry beast."

My main responsibilities for Poinpy were mostly implementation, and a tiny bit of design. Here's a gameplay trailer!

Chicory: A Colorful Tale

"A top down adventure game in a colorbook world where you can draw on anything."

This was one of the earliest projects I worked on at A Shell in the Pit. I mainly worked on sounds for the boss fights. Here's the trailer.

Rogue Legacy 2

"Rogue Legacy 2 is what you'd get if you mashed Rogue Legacy and a sequel together. Every time you die, your children will succeed you, and each child is unique. Your daughter might be a Colourblind Archer, and your son could be a Pacifistic Chef. Either way, one of them is getting conscripted."

Alongside Chicory, this was one of the first projects I got to design for when I started at A Shell in the Pit! In addition to sound effects for the game, I worked on the cinematic trailer as well as this gameplay trailer.

The Plucky Squire *

"An action adventure puzzle game where you jump between 2D and 3D worlds."

Here's the trailer.

Return to Monkey Island *

"A point-and-click puzzle adventure game."

Here's the cinematic trailer.

Bro Force Forever *

"A side-scrolling run-and-gun platform video game, also known as the world's most patriotic video game."

Here's the cinematic trailer.

Smarter Every Day

"An engineer with a youtube channel."

I've had the honour of helping the great Destin Sandlin bring his awesome slo-motion videos to life with a bit of sound-design spice.

Here's his youtube channel.

UFC 4

"A mixed martial arts fighting video game developed by EA Vancouver."

My first job out of sound school was at EA Games. I began working on UFC4 having no knowledge of the sport, and have since become a fan by virtue of extensive exposure. For a year, I mainly worked on the commentary and dialogue system, which involved many hours of listening to Jon Anik, Daniel Cormier, and Bruce Buffer. Here's the trailer.

The Story of an Idea (Sound Re-design)

"An animated short created by Nexus Studios."

I did not have any involvment in the original work, I merely stole (with permission) the video to use as my final project in school, where we had to pick a video and re-design all the audio from scratch. Here's that project.

* Projects where I worked exclusively on the trailer, and not on the game itself
