Encounters
I was responsible for designing player abilities, crafting and strategically placing traps and setting up encounters with both nonhostiles and creatures. I worked with animators to create unique attack variations for each creature, adding depth and excitement to the game's encounters. My work aimed to provide players with engaging challenges while maintaining a sense of balance and excitement throughout their journey in the mines.
Biomes
I collaborated with the art team to help craft each of the five distinct biomes that players can explore throughout the game. I created design sheets to outline the specific props, lighting schemes and creatures unique to each biome. Additionally, I designed the biome and sector select options and worked closely with UI artists to implement them into the game.
Rewards
I designed reward structures to ensure a satisfying sense of progress and achievement. This includes the design and strategic placement of chests throughout each biome to offer players incentives to explore. I created the reward stucture for crafted axes by designing bonuses for each of their unique traits. I also refined the mining loop flow for both free and crafted axes.
