Los Muertos
Content Design, Level Design, Event Scripting
I worked alongside a team of sixteen using Unity3D, where I created and maintained Design Documents for 6 of the project’s 9 game levels, of which the document format was adopted as project standard. I designed, built, and iterated on the three ‘Bazaar’ levels, and created reusable C# scripts for animation playback, to allow the other designers to animate events using Unity’s Animation tool without code. I also scripted the reusable ‘item chest’ in C#.
