Description
From February to July 2024 I was a game designer and artist for the indie title Memoria Wake during its early stages of development, which at that point was a student-led project formerly named "Noire". I was responsible for creating early level blockouts and character designs, including enemies and NPCs, as well as game design documents for the various maps, narrative beats, and mechanics in the game. One of the challenges we worked through early on was creating a modular map system or "toolkit" to streamline the production process for each level and establish design standards.
