On Forgotten Earth I was a designer, my duties included:

​

• Keeping the project and team focused on meeting the project brief.

• Designing/testing controls, player movement and game mechanics.

• Designing the flow of the level and how we would introduce mechanics.

• Creating puzzles that reinforced gameplay mechanics.

• Developed and iterated on a basic narrative for the character and world.

​

During this project I developed the following skills:

• A deeper understanding of pipelines and project management.

• How to communicate with fellow team members and ensure everyone understands the vision of the game.

• How to professionally communicate with industry mentors via emails, meetings and presentations.

• The importance of source control and how to use it.

• Using in-engine tools created by programmers and giving them constructive feedback.

• Taking information gathered from playtests and using it to iterate on mechanics and other aspects of design.
