My Role: Game Design

Contributions & Responsibilities:

Active part of the design team from pre-production to beta.

Pitched, wrote and iterated narrative content for character and background lore, secrets, collectibles.

Used Unreal Engine 5, Blueprints, and Sequences to design, storyboard, and implement levels, cinematics, and gameplay mechanics.

Expanded branching narrative and death sequences using in-house tools. If you get incinerated by a machine, that's my fault.

Supported motion capture team to stage, record, and implement data for cinematics and gameplay.

Helped manage localisation documentation.
