Overview

Project Valkyrie was the codename of a space combat game in development at Doublesix Games, which eventually became Strike Suit Zero. The player controls a Strike Suit: a transforming spacecraft with multiple weapons and abilities.

Envisioned as a game with a much larger scope than Strike Suit Zero, Project Valkyrie was to be the story of a group of spacefaring 'tribes' oppressed by a governmental dictatorship based on Earth. The tribes were fighting to free themselves, colonised planets and eventually the Earth itself from the tyrannical government.

Over multiple, branching missions, the player would not only overthrow the oppressive government regime but would also come to learn the secret history of the Strike Suit technology and of the alien AIs which invented it.

Detailed Info

I worked on this title in a voluntary capacity with Doublesix Games during pre-production.

I worked closely with the lead designer, fleshing out the story concept and backstory and writing the narrative 'bible' for the game, developing backstory for the opposing factions in the game, along with ship and weapon descriptions.

I wrote cutscenes, mission briefings; in-mission dialogue and objectives; collectibles and inter-mission communications.

The scale of the game was judged to be too large during the transition from pre-production into production, and was scaled back and reorganised to become Strike Suit Zero.

Overview

Disney Infinity 3.0 is the third and final game in the Disney Infinity series, in which players place a figure of one of many popular Disney characters onto a 'Disney Infinity Base' in order to play as that character in-game. The game is made of two modes: playset and toy box. The playsets are a series of adventures featuring Disney properties, in which players complete a story based campaign. The toybox is an open ended mode in which players construct their own worlds, levels and even entire game modes from kit parts. Disney Infinity 3.0 introduces Star Wars characters to the world of Infinity.

Detailed Info

Ninja Theory worked to develop Star Wars playsets for Disney Infinity 3.0. On this project, I worked during pre-production on one of the playsets, producing level and mission designs, writing GDDs and level flow documentation. I also implemented early versions of the missions and levels using the Octane engine and Autodesk Maya.

Ninja Theory assisted Avalance Software toward the end of development on Disney Infinity 2.0, in order for the game to be released on time, and also to familiarise Ninja Theory with the Octane game engine. During this time, I worked on the Avengers playset, designing and implementing two missions: Keeping it Loki and A Worldwide Web, and implementing the random encounters with Frost Giants. This involved using the Octane engine and Autodesk Maya.
