The Walking Dead: Empires

The Walking Dead: Empires is an upcomming survival MMO for PC and mobile platforms. I've been a part of the team since the project began in 2022. I've worked as both a Level Designer and Game Designer on the project.

Level Design Responsibilities

• Composed and maintained all 81 playable zones in the game

• Implemented harvestable resources, loot containers, enemy spawn points, navigation collision, and more throughout the game world

• Prototyped interior spaces and dungeons aimed at delivering challenging combat encounters

• Co-ordinated with gameplay programmers to develop and enhance 2 toolkits for world and dungeon creation

• Prepared and updated documentation for all aspects of the world

Game Design Responsibilities

• Created 30+ unique skills to give players avenues of specializing their characters

• Prototyped 2 formats for these skills: a traditional skill tree, and a rogue-like system where 3 random skill options are presented each time the player levels up

• Designed a tech tree system to add more decision-making to the base-building process

• Partnered with gameplay programmers to implement and enhance the game feel of each skill
