Fallout Cascadia

Team Management

Trello board used for team organization.

I joined the team at Fallout Cascadia in July 2016, shortly after joining the team went through early restructuring and I was selected as the best candidate for Lead Level Designer.

As Lead Level Designer I would be in charge of planning locations and overall flow for the entire map. I also managed the level design team, assigning tasks and helping them with any aid they required.

My duties Included...

Working with individual Level Designers I would brief them on everything they needed to know about our work process and game world, as well as set them up on our File sharing services and game engine.

Communicating with other departments such as Asset development and Writing to ensure our levels being created matched the overall vision of the project.

Host team meetings and planning sessions with various members of the Level Design team and other departments to collaborate on and ensure the best possible project with our abilities.

Planning & Mapping

While working on Cascadia and on personal projects, I would always begin with a map or rudimentary layout to start with and build upon. As Lead Level Designer for Cascadia it was essential I make maps for my team to use that were concise, informative and clean.

Here you can see some examples of different types of maps I created for various projects.

Cascadia Early Map

This map was used for the first area our team worked on where we needed to designate important routes and claims for level designers to work in within the same world.

Specific Area Cascadia

This was a type of map I created based on the larger world map to designate specific areas and give better detail as to what those areas entail.

Counter-Strike Sketch

While working on my maps for Counter-strike I would adhere by the design principles of the game and try to create a early map sketch that incorporated all important design details before putting it in-engine.
