Roles

Level Designer

  • Conceptualized all the levels of the game on paper and improving them through conversation with other designers.

  • Implemented level plans into Unreal with simple geometry, BSPs, and assets made in Maya.

  • Created 3 levels in the early production stage that had multiple branching dialogues, tutorials, and goals to complete the players'  tasks.

  • Made a train station level to adjust to the new direction of the game where the station would be teaching players' mechanics of the game.

  • Restructured the train to fit the change in direction of the game.

​

Technical Designer

  • Prototyped several systems and mechanics that would be used in the game and to show the team what the game would play like.

  • Guided programmers and designers on how to use Unreal for their first time and help them with scripting some of the mechanics onto their AIs.

  • Scripted out most of the events that happens based on player's actions or their dialogues with NPCs.

  • ​Scripted NPC dialogues with branching conversation points and dialogues that have events depending on what the player chooses.

  • Debugged a lot of the systems when some of the teammates find a bug conflicting with their work.​
