LEVEL DESIGNMISSION DESIGNDIALOGUE

THE WORK

Rebuilding the Oil Rig
from the structure up.

I redesigned an existing Oil Rig level, expanding it with a new lower section and making additional layout changes throughout the space.

I also designed every mission set on the rig and wrote the accompanying dialogue, connecting the physical redesign to the objectives, characters, and progression experienced by the player.
