BEN BROOK
Level Designer • System Designer • World Builder
MISSION BRIEF
I am an award-winning Level Designer with over 5 years of development experience, specializing in creating immersive, player-driven worlds for high-profile AAA titles.
Most recently, I served as a Level Designer at Cloud Chamber on the upcoming BioShock 4, owning end-to-end mission design from blockout to ship readiness. Previously, I crafted combat and traversal spaces for Skydance’s Behemoth and The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners – Chapter 2.
My multidisciplinary background—spanning level scripting, UI, SFX, and combat design—allows me to bridge the gap between art and engineering. I am passionate about narratology and systems design, believing that the best gameplay emerges where story and mechanics collide.
I am currently looking for my next challenge to push boundaries and create unforgettable experiences.
