My Role
Technical Design | Narrative Design | Level Design
My main role at the company is as a technical designer; for this project I wore many hats in the design realm from the start to the end of the project - it was a great opportunity to work on an immersive game with a nature theme, I learned a huge amount through it's development, not just in terms of my game design skills and XR, but about nature and our planet too!
