Game Designer at Z2, Inc. Released in October 2013.

Shadowslayer: Dawn of the Lightforge is an innovative free-to-play action RPG / city builder on iOS.
Players can go on adventures with similar gameplay to games like Diablo and Torchlight, but streamlined for shorter play sessions. Once back in town, players build up their town and unlock new gear, weapons and powerful abilities.

My contributions on this project:

• Designed and launched systems and content for all areas of the game
• Built levels and designed the game world for the single-player campaign
• Designed and tuned combat encounters in all game areas
• Scripted game events in Lua
• Created and managed the quest system
• Implemented and balanced items, powers, and monsters
• Collaborated with other designers to create systems that increased retention and acquisition

Awards and Features:

“…the action, RPG, and narrative elements augment the base-building so that Shadowslayer offers more content and more to do than most of its base-building competition.” – AppsGoer
