Development Time: Four Months
Role: Level Designer/Scripter, Art Manager Created Fully Custom Menus & Matinee Sequences
Responsibilities: Design and construction of first area of the game, used Unreal Scene Manager to create game menu and create the Unreal Script classes for them, used Unreal Cascade to create placeholder particle systems, use Unreal Matinee to reduce the workload on the one animator and create in game cinematic sequences. I was also required to act autonomously in the process while still checking in for approval of work. In addition to the above tasks that I did in terms of level design, I also volunteered to create the installer and maintain the build for each project milestone. Additionally during the course of the project, I was asked to take on the added responsibility of managing the art team where I created the task lists and approved the technical aspects of the art from five direct reports.

Description: Final Act puts the fate of the timeless battle for control of the underworld in the player’s hands. Players choose between the Light and Dark, then jump into action as a minion of their chosen faction’s god. The primary goal of each side is to destroy the other’s soul well, located deep within enemy territory. These soul wells taint clean mortal souls to satisfy the gods of either the Light or the Dark. It is from these tainted souls each side draws its power. Once destroyed, the losing faction’s gods demand sacrifices to make up for the lost flow, and instantly kills all of their minions in order to secure their souls. If no team can destroy the other’s well, the team with the most souls that have streamed from their well will be the victors.
