Creating an optimised and engaging First Time User Experience

• Created a memorable, fast paced FTUE that teaches the player everything they need to know to play in a short period of time.

• Designed to show rather than tell, promoting player agency as we slowly introduce new game mechanics.

• The environment uses the same visual language used globally in the game to reinforce learning.

Designing game objects that enrich the game’s core pillars

• Recontextualised existing game objects based on world theme, creating new relationship dynamics.

• Onboarded the team with presentations to earn buy-in and motivate them on a unified vision.

• Creating processes to facilitate greater visibility and rapid prototyping.

Exciting boss battles in an unconventional game genre

• Created cinematic boss battles into a game genre that traditionally does not feature this type of gameplay.

• Combining familiar feeling gameplay, pace and rhythm from the core game but subvert the expectations of the player during the moment to moment gameplay.

• Focused on the verb of the action as the connective tissue between the traditional expectations of a boss battle and the genre of game that was being reimagined.

Quirky minigames that reinforce core game mechanics

• Created minigames that twist the core game mechanics that sit between being focused on core gameplay, but with an abstracted concept.

• They are designed to encourage friendly team building and co-operation between players.

• Minigames also reinforce the core gameplay mechanics in a playful environment which helps encourage players to experiment and level up their core gameplay skill.

Game systems

• Created post launch content balanced to be completable within a certain amount of time on a weekly basis.

• Supported the narrative with challenges that complement the story.

• Worked on the emote and character cosmetic systems and reward distribution.
