Part of my work on this game involved heavily reworking the structure of the game from how it worked in the demo into a more linear, but cinematic experience. The beginning of my time on the team involved helping make important decisions that would influence the game's level design and overall feel.

I designed all the environmental events in the game. Most were completely original concepts from me, while others were heavily reworked versions of events in the demo. I also created storyboard-like  documentation of these event concepts to help our programmers and artists fully realize my vision.

I also implemented each of my designs in engine. I collaborated frequently with the team's programmers to fix bugs and ensure a level of polish. While I was already experienced in Unity before working on this game, having more involvement in-engine here honed my skills a lot.

I helped oversee playtesting for the game and used my firsthand experience watching testers interact with what I'd created to inform balancing decisions and potential points of polish. Balancing and rebalancing my events was an ongoing effort that took place across the entire development period.
