Project Duration

I served as a game and level designer in the development of Hitgrab Games' platformer beat-em-up Clan O' Conall and the Crown of the Stag.    

My responsibilities included developing core mechanics, levels and boss designs for the game, laying the groundwork for further development.

While I made the difficult choice to move on from the project to one that more closely aligned with my long-term goals, the time I was ​able to spend with the project and team was incredibly valuable, and I am very proud to have been able to contribute to it.

The game was released on Steam and Nintendo Switch to critical acclaim.
