Projects and Credits

 Anthem is a multiplayer collaborative team-based shooter game from BioWare which came out in 2019. I was a creature designer on this game, both in terms of creative and implementation of design content in engine.

​

My role included:

- Collaborated with the design group and took direction from leadership to come up with the creative intentions and design for creatures and creature "palettes" (collective groups of creatures which would work together to create combat challenges for Players during live gameplay).

- Worked alongside a diverse group of developers (animators, engineers, sound designers, VFX artists, etc) to implement these designs in-engine while ensuring that we hold to the desired creative design.

- Created and maintained templates, abilities and AI implementation for creatures in Frostbite.

- Put the creatures through a rigorous review process where assets and creatures were tuned to match the direction of the high level combat experience, and create the most fun combat experience possible.

- Extensively researched games in the same space and provided analysis of those games to the design team.

- Facilitated communication and coordination between gameplay, animation, engineering and other departments in order to make the best possible game.

- Incorporated ideas from the other designers, and strived to have creatures that were fully unified in vision with the rest of the gameplay experience.

- Contributed to establishing and enforcing consistent design practices, metrics, and guidelines across the design of Anthem.
