THE PROJECT

Explore details ↓01 / GAME DESIGN
A story held together by its mechanics.
I developed the Game Design Document across mechanics, characters, story, art direction and dual-world gameplay. This gave the team a shared structure for the palace, the porcelain and the narrative choices that connect them.
02 / NARRATIVE
Write for more than one possible history.
I wrote dialogue and scripts that follow the narrative flow while accounting for branching storylines. The writing connects player decisions with how the family’s history is revealed.
03 / MAP & LEVEL DESIGN
Give each narrative branch a place.
I drew maps that support the branching narrative, then built levels in Endstar Engine. The map and in-engine view below show the work from spatial planning to level construction.
