Professional Projects
Bloodforge (2011)
At Climax Group I worked as the Lead Combat Designer on a 1st Party development project using UnrealEngine 3. Bloodforge is a visceral hack and slash game based around Celtic mythology with a unique graphic novel art style. My responsibility was implementing the creative directors vision of combat and entailed: player and enemy abilities, player equipment and progression, enemy designs, boss encounters, character state machines, the "AI choreographer" design, animation setup, animation trees, combo and score systems, etc. I also handled other areas of the project such as level scripting, encounter balancing, online functionality, and the challenge arena design.
Viking: Battle for Asgard (2008)
At Creative Assembly I worked as a Level Designer and Scripter on their second epic-action console title Viking: Battle for Asgard. I was mainly responsible for populating the environment, creating scripted battle moments, providing good level flow, choreographing large scale battles, and generally creating the living breathing world of Viking. My largest task was the complex hierarchical quest system that structured the three islands.
