My Roles

Directing Project to completion through the use of the Cerny method: creating a "Toy" character, player zoo, prototype, and final level.
Making sure core team members stayed cohesive in the aesthetic and theme- from shaders to core "mushroom" themed mechanics.
Recruited additional members- including Sound Designers and Concept Artists

Organized meetings and led Agile workflow.
Created various presentations of working prototypes throughout project completion.

Designed multiple abilities: spore blast, mushy wall bounces, cap glide, glowing spore signals, water absorption, and more. These abilities were designed around the question of "what do mushrooms do?"
Designed enemies with different attack systems: moles popping out of the ground for players to dodge, termites for the player to spore blast, and Zombie Mushrooms for the player to glide and wall bounce away from.
Designed levels to directly guide the player and utilize mechanics progressively. I used narrative and ability locks to do so. A player could only enter areas if they had certain abilities- such as the mycelium burrow to enter the cave.
