Days Gone
As the Lead Level Artist on Sony's Days Gone, I oversaw the team that laid out and populated the game's open world. My responsibilities included:
-
- Initial planning and layout of the world
- Maquettes and style guide development for world population
- Working with engineering to develop tools for world population
- Working with the Level Art team, including scheduling and feedback
- Contributing to world layout, level layout, population, and optimization
-
