PROFESSIONAL WORKS

Dapper Dinos (currently unreleased)This project is a 3D platformer game taking inspiration from Crash Bandicoot.
My role is the secondary-level design lead who checks and helps out people in my department.
I was tasked to create multiple levels in this game with the added challenge of supporting a special gimmick of a level.
With this in mind, I have closely worked with designers, developers, and artists to create an engaging and visually appealing level.
You can check out the levels I created in this game here.

Aggretsuko Kawaii Rebellion (currently unreleased)
This is a roguelike, top-down, shoot-em-up project. I am tasked with creating "level chunks" that would serve as the basis for the procedural creation of the level.
You can check out the level chunks I have made here.
