My Role

Lead Design | Systems Design | Feature Design | Narrative Design

​Designing the core gameplay loop, systems, and mechanics, while directing the game’s narrative vision. Producing detailed documentation and coordinating across disciplines to ensure alignment. Collaborating with development and art teams to design and implement features, assets, and gameplay loops, while shaping objective flows and integrating mechanics directly in-engine. Ensuring players remained immersed through satisfying visual, haptic and audio feedback. This project has been an exciting and new challenge, designing gameplay scenarios to be engaged with in both single and multiplayer - I have learned a lot about designing for multiplayer and co-operative gameplay, as well as finding the "horror".
