At Truly Social Games, I worked on 3 separate projects covering every stage of development. Through these experiences, I worked closely with QA, engineers and artists. Most of my time was spent on Archer: Danger Phone, a mobile idle-game based off of the popular TV show Archer. Here I focused on new content integration, live-ops support, technical documentation, and onboarding of other designers. I was also involved in the pre-production and early development stages of another unannounced mobile game. Here, I worked closely with narrative and art teams to build my creative design skills.

Okoa is a single player 3rd person puzzle game where you control 2 cybernetic animals escaping captivity. Players will switch between a Panther and Elephant, evading traps and utilizing the African Landscape to achieve freedom from within a poachers compound.For this project, my responsibilities included 3D modelling, rigging, texturing, and animating both main characters. On top of this, I was also responsible for making the final cinematic for the game, as well as the trailer. As a result, I became very familiar with Unity's timeline system, as well as Cinemachine. During the development process of the game, I also spent lots of time in design meetings, helping to ensure solutions and discussions stayed in-scope and related to our design pillars. Not only did I help my peers with their design ideas, but I also got to pitch and develop my own ideas.

Old West is a top-down 2D action-shooter, Steampunk-Fantasy game where the player controls a cowboy demon hunter. The player fights off an endless hoard of demons using his trusty weapons, and his grappling hook!I was the programmer in charge of scripting the main character and their various functions, namely the grappling hook feature. Additionally, I helped our artists find tools and get started with making sprite art, something I had done in the past. Throughout the development process, I was able to not only deepen my understanding of programming, but the scripting process as a whole. This experience helped change my design process, as I more readily understood what programmers had to go through as they try to construct the product.
