Over the course of roughly 15 years, I worked as a Level and Game Designer in the video game industry. I was responsible for designing and implementing 3D game environments as well as game mechanics for a vast array of titles and platforms, such as Tony Hawk's Pro Skater, Spiderman Web of Shadows, Shrek the Third, Looney Tunes Dash, and many many more.During this time I primarily worked in a team capacity, across many different disciplines. Ensuring proper communication amongst team members as well as outside franchise representatives always remained paramount in establishing a product that met the look and feel of any given title.My day to day tasks involved utilizing proprietary level editors and 3D modeling software such as Maya and 3D Studio Max to create grey box and wireframe environment layouts that catered to the established game mechanics of any given game being produced at the time. Communicating and collaborating with level artists allowed for the wireframes to come to life with visual details.Beyond working on the environment design, player mechanics played a large roll in my day to day tasks. This was comprised of brainstorming ideas for new features or mechanics that would fit into the overall feel and design of the game. Everything from character move sets to in-game interactions. Proof of concept was achieved autonomously or with the aid of game programmers.
