Jonathan Shaw

I'm Jonathan Shaw, a senior game audio designer at Frontier Developments. I've been working in game audio since 2020, across studios and titles that have reached millions of players worldwide.

Since Planet Coaster 2 launched, I've been audio lead on all post-launch content. Full responsibility for sound design, mixing, audio direction, VO casting and recording, and music briefs for composers, across 9 free updates and 5 paid DLCs. I work closely with a small audio team, plus design, code, and production, on every release.

My work centres on creative sound design, audio direction, and mixing. I've previously worked in Unreal Engine 4/5, and for the last 3 yers I've worked in a bespoke engine with wwise for middleware. I sound design in Reaper day-to-day with a highly customised and efficient workflow.
