❀ Spring 2025 - Present | Currently under development

Project Bookcraft is a student-led project developed in Unreal Engine 5.4.4 under the creative direction of our clients, Pixel Poxet. The game places the player in a world always tinged by a little touch of magic. As the Literalchemist Witch, they have a single month to pay off their debt-- lest they lose the bookstore they always dreamed of running. Along the way, they meet all kinds of peculiar customers, many of which draw inspiration from the classic fairy tales we all know and love. And maybe - just maybe - you might find yourself falling for one of your guests along the way? 

In the narrative and design department, my primary role in Bookcraft's development is anything and everything related to The Little Sea Maid level, stories and characters. As one of the project's leads, I contributed to the development of all of the relevant design documentation - be it narrative or level design - for The Little Sea Maid content and wrote several in-game scripts. I further assisted in the production of other narrative content in the game as a consultant by providing feedback to submitted level and writing work, QA passing all submitted narrative material so that they are finalized for implementation, and mentoring junior writers in the class.

Beyond my responsibilities on the narrative and level side of the game, I also worked on UI/UX design documentation and drew some promotional artwork of the major characters - Princess Danica, Riane the Werewolf, and the Sea Witch Mara - for the studio's use and did the concept art for the Jackalope Familiar. Last - but certainly not least - as a long time volunteer for the Game Studio class, I serve as one of the game's project managers and create several back-end documentation and presentations to better facilitate communication across departments. Production schedules, meeting notes, SPRINT goals, and other similar project management responsibilities fall under my jurisdiction.
