From design, to documentation, to execution, no team can build a product that they cannot describe with precision and clarity. I leverage my talent for communication to bring ideas from concept to production in a field where teamwork matters.► Writing & Game DesignMy strength as a designer comes from a uniquely blended background in persuasive writing, independent game development, and digital marketing. I excel at understanding technical details, articulating abstract challenges, and conveying complex concepts clearly and effectively. In both games and prose, people love small details which add texture and depth and reward them for looking closely. Throughout my work, I incorporate thematic elements into gameplay flow through diverse mechanics, reactive storytelling, and intelligent presentation. I give players opportunities to overcome challenges, gain a deeper understanding of game worlds, and celebrate personal victories and achievements. ► Collaboration & Creative DirectionI've spent years designing and developing game mechanics independently, and learned that the games I love are at a scale that can't be achieved alone. I've had the opportunity to work with talented creatives, both within the professional industry at DICE and within the amateur development communities while creating game modifications and developing Unity games with other students at my University. I leverage the unique talents and ideas of my teammates to build better games while maintaining a clear creative direction and creating a cohesive experience for players. ★ Recognition:✔ Featured in The Creative Assembly’s corporate blog for design expertise.✔ Contributed design and development across several features for DICE's next major game release. ✔ Built userbases of 20k+ users on more than a dozen individual Steam Workshop projects, and contributed mechanics for projects with 250k+ users. ✔ Lead programmer and development manager for a GameJam+ 2022/2023 finalist game.► Contact Me:416 525 9961 | cmatte@dealineation.com
