GENERAL GAME DESCRIPTION: Players journey through the story of Harry Potter by completing match-3 puzzles and events. Players match, cast spells with match-able pieces, and work with their clubs to explore Hogwarts and our various events.

CONTRIBUTION DESCRIPTION:

  • Level Design

    • I built hundreds of levels for release using our various mechanics and systems, while targeting specified difficulty targets. I worked with my team to review each others levels to make sure each was up to our standards, and tuned levels based on live feedback and data.

  • Game Design

    • I worked with our lead designer to build unique mechanics, adapt standard mechanics and create enriching gameplay events for our players.

  • Live Tuning

    • Using analytics, I tuned our live levels to adapt to our updating goals and targets, as well as to correct any flaws.

  • Narrative Copy

    • Building within an existing IP, I worked with my team to establish naming conventions and dialogue between characters.
