Experience

Level Designer & Environment Artist at Casual Brothers
GB
November 2019 - February 2024
As a Level Designer, I had the chance to be the person in charge of selection, research, and development of community made maps, improving them to reach Tripwire's quality standards for official maps. At the same time, I was also in charge of bringing to life new, bespoke maps, as per the game and art director's vision.

Design tasks were varied, and included spawn placement, weapons and ammo placement, collision smoothing, actor configuration, lighting adjustments, specific KF2 systems for quests and rewards, as well as additional puzzles and challenges, all in order to make the levels both visually striking, dynamic, and challenging, but above all, fun.

Additionally, as Environment Artist, I had to make sure the art was both up to KF2's quality standards, but also making sure it preserved the original Mapper's intent for community maps, and going beyond expectations for bespoke maps.

As for the maps we worked on:
