I supported the continued success of this live-service project through:

• Game Design: Player research and support redesigning game systems and mechanics to revitalize the new player experience in the live-build (first 80+ hours).
• Production: Program coordination with external partners, technical game analysis (QA).
• Community: Supported community engagement through live streamed and in-person events.

My specific areas of interest for this budding live-service project extended to:

• Game Design: Iterative design and narrative development shaping narrative quests, game systems, gameplay, and other player advocacy in the live pre-alpha build. Additional work in user experience, user interface, writing item/narrative descriptions, accessability features, etc.
• Production: Live operations, player research and playtest monitoring (80,000+ players), curated player content via hotfixes and patch notes, technical/copywriting, and technical game analysis (QA).
• Community: Facilitated the pre-alpha program, shaped communication strategies, launched official game forums, copywriting/player agreements, asset organization, and supported community engagement through live streamed and in-person events.

I supported this indie project through:

• Marketing: Shaped communication strategies, managed Steam publishing, and created trailers and other promotional materials.
• Community: Launched several social media platforms and produced social content surrounding the project.

I was continuously involved in the project concept, development, and schematic phases through:

• Concept Design: Collaborated through blue-sky-schematic phases and led narrative writing direction post-client feedback.
• Concept Art: Iterated concept art and illustrations for the themed land, attractions, ride vehicles, and general world-building.
• Graphic Design: Developed graphic designs for onstage/offstage signage and furnishings.
• Technical Design: Drew final masterplans aligning with collaborated blue-sky and concept plans. Developed schematics in ride scene sectional elevations, props, lighting, and signage. Additionally led and developed technical narratives and early strategies.

This project was presented at IAAPA Expo Europe 2023 (Vienna), 2023 IAAPA Expo (Orlando), and 2024 TEA SATE Europe (Gardaland Park).
