(20th Jan - 14th Feb 2025)
Game Project 2
Role: Game designer, Narrative, PO.

Link to Project

Our second Game Project at Futuregames.

"It's a fish, Your Majesty!" is about a young fisher caught in a huge misunderstanding with the king.

My main role was the PO, where I made design documents for how the mechanics in the game were supposed to be (With the help of the other designers of course) and I made moodboard for the Sound design/Art department so they knew what we were roughly going for.

I wrote the entire narrative of the game and illustrated all the pages in the story book section.

I was also responsible for character movement.
I made sure the character's movement felt good and that the player's attacks hit the enemy at good range.

(5th May - 20th Jul 2025)
Game Project 3
Role: Game designer, Narrative.

Link to Project

Our third Game Project at Futuregames.

"The Last Branch" is a narrative-driven platformer about the last branch of a god tree navigating a world filled with rot.

My main role in this project was as the Narrative designer. 
We wrote the entire premise of the game together. 
I wrote all the dialogue of the NPCs in the game and implemented it all.

My other ​responsibilities in this project were making sure our art department got all the information they needed for how the NPCs and text boxes were supposed to look like.

I also wrote numerous documents detailing how certain game mechanics were supposed to work so that the programmers and artists knew what we were going for.

(Together with Jerram Carr.)

Game Project 4
Role: Game designer, System designer, Art.

Link to Project

Our fourth Game Project at Futuregames.

In "Something's Off" you play as a house broker who is documenting all the hauntings for removal in houses you're trying to sell.

I took more of a systemic design role this time, my responsibility was to design and make all the anomalies in the game.

The other designers could then implement meshes and sound effects according to their need.

Some of my other responsibilities was all the 2D art in the game.
The other designers would make requests to things they wanted drawn and which I tend provided them with the help of MS Paint or any other art program.
