Unnamed Third Person Game (2024)

An first-person shooter, action, horror game where you scavenge for supplies and fight a dangerous alien monster.

• Created custom editor tools to automate enemy path creation and art asset conversion. Interfaced with level designers and artists to improve content authoring workflows.
• Owned the design of the AI, creating enemy behaviors in C# to provide dynamic answers to player actions.
• Wrote design documentation with clear technical details and worked with programmers to ensure proper mechanic implementation.
• Pitched, designed, and prototyped game systems for secondary objectives, environment interaction, and un-guided tutorialization.
• Communicated with animators, technical artists, sound designers, and programmers to improve enemy implementation based on player feedback.

A light card-based tabletop roleplaying game, where the players can easily pick up the game and embark on weird post-apocalyptic adventures.

• Designed rules for conflict resolution, character creation, injury, and equipment. Communicated ruleset to players using clear examples and explanations when needed.
• Organized and ran playtesting sessions by writing briefs for participants and feedback questionnaires. Produced early print versions of the game and iterated on visual design and rule set based on playtester feedback.
• Pitched, designed, and prototyped the game's systems, experimenting with roll balancing, character options, and resources for running the game.
• Designed, crowd-funded, developed, published, and distributed a 55 page commercial zine game as digital and physical copies.
• Managed deliverable schedules and meetings using an agile scrum methods. Wrote and distributed press releases and communicated progress to customers.

A card-based stealth strategy game, where the players eliminate robot enemies using a variety of abilities and use parts to upgrade their character in a human-less future.

• Owned the developed of tools for rapid level and card creation allowing level designers and artists to easily iterate and implement new levels and abilities.
• Scripted statistical tests using Excel to manage and identify potential problems with game balance.
• Developed reusable, scalable code for map creation, character behaviors, and combat systems.
• Produced a non-digital prototype of the game so level designers could iterate early in the development cycle.
• Pitched, designed, and prototyped potential game features and interactive level elements

A first-person physics-based puzzle game, where the players manipulate objects between different dimensions to solve a series of puzzles in a forgotten laboratory.

• Created interactive level elements for level designers to implement throughout the game's puzzles
• Owned core mechanic development of switching and manipulating objects between dimensions
• Developed audio queues to serve as guides for player progress throughout the game
• Communicated with level designers, programmers, and artists to create a united vision for the project
• Reviewed and refactored code from multiple different programmers and designers to maintain consistent development standards
