Created using 'Valve Hammer Editor' as a workshop map for the game 'Left 4 Dead 2'. It currently has 12,000 downloads and an 86% positive rating.
Designed as a single, long-form level, similar to Valve's own 'Last Stand' map, survivors are taken on a 15-20 minute journey from the residential area to the main street in order to reach the station.
Developed over a 5-month period, the project went through various iterations. Ultimately, it had to be scaled down because, due to the size of the level, I encountered the engine's limitations for compiling things fairly early on.
This proved to be a valuable learning experience in optimization, creating navigation meshes, designing custom assets, scripting events, and final product delivery.

While completing my Master's degree at University, I was part of a computational studio in which I learned how to create and design spaces using algorithms in visual programming/scripting software.
My final project revolved around establishing a relationship between Architectural spaces and Collaborative documentation. I explored this concept by paying respect to the site's context, where an Orchardist who researched, documented and published manuals on new Orchid species used to reside.
The algorithm was inspired by the adaptability of the Orchid species, enabling the designer to select the most appropriate spaces to 'grow' on the site in the most fitting way. These new spaces will then be documented and catagorised, much like how the Orchidist used to.
This allows the next designer to have a larger catalogue of spaces to choose from, adding to it as they create buildings.

During my time at the Danish video game studio 'Gamucatex,' I successfully transitioned into the video game industry as a designer.
As a historical-heavy game, it took elements of Denmark's approach to history, using historical elements and methodologies such as tendency, anachronism, and misconceptions to show that history is always a discussion with no clear-cut answers.
As an educational game, I proposed for gameplay to play out much like a historical debate being conducted in a classroom, with action cards representing different debating terms. These cards would be able to 'criticize' and 'defend' other cards based on their historical background to influence the board.
This would help express the actions of source analysis and debating while also teaching the player about Viking history.

As I am currently under an NDA, I am unable to show what I have been working on. In the meantime, enjoy these images taken from the Everywhere social media pages.
Initially, my tasks involved creating levels specifically using in-house tools. Since then, I have matured in my role, becoming more of a generalist, handling long-form tasks that require more bespoke solutions. I can take a design brief and guide it through most of its design process, including blockouts, modeling, and texturing using material layering systems.
