Budget Repairs Sound Design

For my job application test for Majster Symulator, I designed a wide range of sounds that bring chaotic DIY home repairs to life. The challenge was to capture the clunky, rough, and sometimes disastrous nature of amateur renovation.

For this project, I opted to use only self-recorded sounds (well, about 99% of them).

Power Tools & Cutting

• Placing the drill before drilling
• Small drill in action
• Taking the drill out of the store
• Dropping the drill into the cart with other items
• Subtle UI sound when browsing drills in the shop
• Hand saw cutting a door
• Saw movement before cutting
• Saw falling to the ground

Store Ambience

• Construction store ambience
• Shopping cart movement
• "Cash register down" sound

Tiles & Breaking Sounds

• Placing tiles before installation
• Laying down tiles
• Peeling off a tile, dropping, and cracking it on the floor
• Taping a tile to the wall (a strong "slap" sound)

Painting & Construction

• Pouring paint and water into a bucket
• Rolling paint onto the wall
• Placing bricks with UI interaction
• Placing a window on bricks
• Window falling from a height

Falls & Miscellaneous

• Chandelier falling onto a carpet
• Piece of door falling onto a plastic-covered floor
• Lifting a door
• Installing a door
• "Star pop" sound effect and animated text effect
• Quest completion sound
