As part of the Emergent Game Lab studio's Design Team, I gained valuable experience in game development projects involving over 30 participants in areas of programming, design, writing and art. Aside from design meetings for the Mermaids MMO, I worked on:
Mermaids - The Glyph system is incorporated into gameplay through gesture-based spellcasting abilities and (potentially) the purposefully limited inter-player communication system developed concurrently.
Mermaids MMOG
Ellis Island - I researched historical figures and trends while developing storylines involving player characters' encounters with Nikola Tesla while looking for work. The players' interactions with with NPCs while navigating intrigue/conflict between Nikola's Workshop and a rival are mapped in the diagram above.
