game Black with many colleagues, many of whom are still close friends. CS: I find something interesting in every project I don't really have favourites:) If I was to call out one that I've been involved in that has seen a real evolution, it would be Fortnite. I started on sound design with Zak Belica at Epic Games back in 2012 and I've pretty much worked on and off on the project for over 10 years. And it's still fun!!! CW: Most recently, it's God of War: Ragnarok. We had the chance to create the soundscape of more than five hours of cinematics. It's truly been a privilege to work on such a legendary game. The other project that is very close to my heart is the Pennzoil Joyride series. SJ: It's probably going to echo the other, but it's all about the team— the best projects are the ones that are creative endeavors between the wider team, where everyone is collaborating and contributing to make something special. Where no single personality takes control but rather everyone has input with a defined goal and understanding of what they're creating. CM: As for Sweet Justice, how did the company come together? CS: I was working with Epic on Fortnite, I got a phone call from Ben Minto who recommended I hook up with a guy who had recently worked at DICE called Sam Justice and that he had a name for our company already figured out ... Sweet Justice and that was that. Sam became a business partner and a trusted friend. More than eight years later, we are still going strong!!! SJ: I joined EA DICE in 2011 and Ben was studio audio director at the studio, my boss! After we shipped Battlefield 4, I returned to the UK to get married. Ben put me in touch with Chris, and Ben also came up with the name! During this period back in the UK, I also worked closely with Csaba on a variety of projects, and we struck up a pretty amazing working relationship. So it was quite natural for the four of us to eventually come together, each with our own individual strengths and experiences, to help lead the good ship Sweet Justice. It felt very normal and right. Awards and Tea Bags, the hallway of curiosities.
