Unannounced AAA ProjectI was working at Studio Gobo in Brighton as a 'Junior Technical Designer' from the beginning of August 2018 to December 2019. We were working with Warner Brothers on an unannounced AAA project for a huge multimedia franchise.
I'm not able to say much about it due to a strict NDA, but it's an amazing first industry project. I spent a large amount of my time at Studio Gobo working with game camera scripting and design as well as system prototyping and more generalist technical design, including smaller programming tasks, bug fixing and bug reporting. I played an instrumental role in getting a camera mandate for Studio Gobo, which allowed us to take over camera development as a studio. I achieved this with in-engine demonstrations of how we would improve the game's camera in several specific areas. I developed this demonstration myself, and it was shown to several directors and studio heads which eventually lead to the mandate being secured for myself and a small strike team at Gobo, with myself as one of the core team. |

To the core is a Roguelike third-person platforming game developed during the third year of my education. In the game, you play as Emily, a young woman with a massive robotic fist who enters a robot-filled universe through the infinite trashcan in her father's workshop to save her father... again.

I developed Thrasher for an external client to make use of a Kite Surfing Simulator controller, this control rig could pull you around with force feedback, steer left and right, and you could pull the controller in and out. Perfect for a Sci-Fi chariot racing game.

Did I Mention is a first-person puzzle game with interesting game systems. The primary systems of the game are based around rewinding certain objects, freezing objects in place, and initially, switching dimensions, though this part was not prevalent in the final product, it still heavily influenced the name.
