The Hazelight design role has been an important part of how I have grown as a designer during 2022. Designers at Hazelight are responsible for bringing a level from start to finish with all that comes with it. This means that the designers at Hazelight are expected to work and grow in many different areas which includes:

​

🧪 Prototyping & Scripting:

• Prototyped gameplay mechanics using AngelScript and Unreal Blueprints

• Made detailed requests to programmers to support level-specific systems and mechanics

• Iterated on enemy behavior and combat alongside programmers, character artists, and animators
   

🎨 Visual & Gameplay Collaboration:

• Worked with VFX artists to bring visual feedback and flair to gameplay moments

• Collaborated with environment artists to ensure level blockouts transitioned well into final art

• Communicated gameplay and narrative intent clearly across disciplines

📐 Level Design Ownership:

• Took levels from blockout to polished gameplay experience

• Balanced pacing, difficulty, and visual storytelling throughout the level design process
