As Lead Gameplay/Level Designer and Project Manager for a team of 40 individuals, I held a pivotal role in steering the project towards success. My responsibilities encompassed a wide array of tasks, ranging from overseeing the creation of innovative mechanics to meticulously crafting level layouts and comprehensive design documentation.

One of my key contributions involved the development of grey box levels, serving as foundational prototypes for our environment and programming teams. These prototypes provided a tangible framework for further development, facilitating smoother collaboration and ensuring alignment with our overarching design goals. Additionally, I played a hands-on role in assisting with AI implementation, leveraging my expertise to enhance the intelligence and behavior of in-game entities.

In addition to my design responsibilities, I took charge of coordinating the SCRUM process, utilizing the structured AGILE system to streamline our development workflow. This involved organizing regular meetings, setting clear objectives, and fostering effective communication among team members. By implementing agile methodologies, we were able to adapt to evolving requirements and efficiently address any challenges that arose throughout the development cycle.

Overall, my role as Lead Gameplay/Level Designer and Project Manager was instrumental in driving the project forward, ensuring cohesion across various aspects of development, and ultimately delivering a polished and engaging gaming experience.
