    My Role on Bleak Inlet — Open World Designer

    I contributed to foundational concept work and paper designs for the entire region.
    My implementation responsibilities included bringing Last Resort Cannery from greyblock to release.

    Story Mode

    The four episode arc for Wintermute is the nearly complete realization of The Long Dark’s original vision to tell the story of Will MacKenzie and Astrid Greenwood.
    Console release promo art with no text. Will is standing, facing away, and walking towards a snowy landscape with a wolf on a nearby rock and mountains in the background. He is wearing a red toque. He has a rifle in his handle, held down across his body with the stock end above his right elbow. His backpack is carrying many objects including a hatchet and arrows.
    I started working primarily on missions and narrative design, joining the team in Spring 2018—less than a year after Episodes 1 and 2 were first released.

    The Redux versions of these two episodes were my only deliverable throughout 2018; hereafter I assisted with new Story Mode episodes and new Survival open-world regions.
