• Resource and Reward Placement guidelines for the entire game

• Optimisation on all level loading and level streaming systems

• Collaborating with other designers to set our level design pillars

• Created the Level Design/ Level art pipeline for reviewing, iterating and signing off levels
   

Narrative

• Paper Design and implementation of roughly half the game’s quests

• Set up quest design standards and workflow for other designers

• Created blueprint libraries and components to allow for faster iteration on quests

• Worked extensively with external and internal writers

• Vision held for the caravan system

• Created the reactive bark system used in Caravans and Hamlets
   

Misc

• Collaborated with fellow designers and directors, creating and presenting the game’s creative pillars

• Created a handful of enemies

• Encounter passes on multiple levels

• Paper design for the fire axe primary weapon

• Created various editor tools for auditing, tracking and clean-up

• Mentored fellow devs in various unreal/technical/blueprinting/design skills
