Cult classic horror game that put narrative focused Supermassive Games on the map.

​

My major tasks on this project were a mixture of porting old code and assets from old Decima to modern Decima, then to Unreal Engine 5. Creating new gameplay systems. Supporting the audio team with features. And finally designing and implementing core features of the new Until Dawn.

​

For porting Decima code I worked with a small team to write a converter for data and assets that would allow things like scripts and custom data structs to be used in the modern version of Decima. On top of this I worked on extending the functionality of the newer version of Decima to be able to support the original Until Dawns features that were added.

​

For the Unreal Engine 5 development I owned and primarily implemented various gameplay systems, such as the interaction system, the AI system, and the face animation system. As well as working with others to improve other existing systems and acting as the liason for the external audio team.

​

Additionaly due to the nature of the project and our team I took on ownership of the gameplay design of the interaction and AI systems to improve the feel and responsiveness of the player experience, with the aid of junior designers working with me to consistently implement the design standards we created for the game. On top of this I also worked with the Narrative Designer to come up with the achievements for the game.
