about what I’ve done as game/level designer

Creating worlds is my passion. As professional game designer, I’ve worked on 2 shipped console titles and 2 expansion packs. The last year I worked at Triumph Studios on the design and prototypes of a couple of new game concepts.
My main focus and specialization is in level design. This means I design and build levels, but also create scripts, pre-visualize props and prototype interactive game assets or NPC’s. I also have experience in creating designs and prototypes for game systems like third person avatars, combat and camera systems.

Published titles:

Overlord 2

2009, Xbox360, PS3 & PC

Developer: Triumph Studios
Genre: Action/Adventure/RPG
Engine: Creator Engine (in house)
Role: Senior game & level designer

I designed, build and scripted levels for Overlord 2 and set up the enemies used in those levels.

The screenshots below show some of the levels I created. The video shows the beginning of ‘Prelude’, which is the start of the game.

Level: Prelude & Northberg Town

Level: Everlight Reef

Level: Slums & Arena Dungeons

In addition, I designed and prototyped most of the interactive assets, such as a ship, a catapult and a ballista. I designed these machines so that they are controlled in the same manner so the player gets familiar with there usage.

Catapult & Ballista:

Overlord Raising Hell

Developer: Triumph Studios
