Game Designer at Z2, Inc. Released in November 2011.

Battle Nations is a free-to-play turn-based strategy / city builder on iOS, Android, PC and Mac.
Players build their base in a city builder view, and train units which are then used in turn-based battles set on a tactical grid. The game’s tongue-in-cheek story follows a small Empire platoon as they set up an outpost in the wasteland.

My contributions on this project:

• Designed and updated content for the turn-based strategy sections of the game
• Set up, tested and polished battle encounters
• Implemented game mission structure, flow and gameplay triggers
• Used a variety of in-house tools and editors
• Collaborated with other designers on creating large pieces of content
• Designed and implemented formulas in excel to check balance between all units in the game
