Novakovic joined video game developer Rare in 1993 when the company was transitioning from the NES to SNES.[5] At that time, the British company had only one composer, David Wise, who worked for the company as a freelancer. As one of only two women working on the development teams at that time, and the only in-house musician, Novakovic described the initial experience as "daunting to begin with," but eventually noted, “what I found though was a genuine camaraderie from the top down."[5]
Her first project for the console was Donkey Kong Country, alongside David Wise and Robin Beanland, where she was responsible for seven tracks, including “Simian Segue", “Treetop Rock,” and “Voices of the Temple".[5]
Despite the "overwhelmingly positive" critical reception to Donkey Kong Country’s soundtrack, Novakovic moved on to work on the soundtrack for Ken Griffey Jr.’s Winning Run for the same console.[5] After the success of Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest, Rare greenlit a sequel, and Novakovic was called by Wise to handle much of the soundtrack, including tracks such as “Nuts and Bolts”, “Water World", and “Mill Fever”.[5]
After her work on Game Boy, Novakovic began to explore her increasing interest in sound design. She contributed voices to a number of Nintendo 64 games over the next few years, including Perfect Dark, where she voiced the main character Joanna Dark.[5]
In 2005, Novakovic left Rare after completing voice work for Kameo: Elements of Power for the Xbox 360[6] and eventually retired from the games industry in 2007.[5]
Eveline was credited by the name E. Fischer in earlier games she worked on. When she got married in the early 2000s, she adopted the name Novakovic.[7]
