I am the co-project lead with Jade Schottstaedt for Kaylich. Originally, Jade and I started on this project as just the two of us for several months. Then our team expanded to include more game designers and artists. My duties currently include managing tasks for the team, level design, game design, and meeting with the team leads to keep everything as consistent as possible. I work closely with Jade and the other game designers for in game level designs and mechanics.

​

Our early iterations of the project included testing of an isometric camera set up, a possibility of hiding zones to hide from our then enemy character, and a simple candle puzzle set up. Additionally, we worked on a mechanic that involves using Imogen's ability "Reality Shift" to 'look' into the hidden realm and see things that you can't see normally.

​

We kept the Reality Shift idea as well as the iso set up for the camera. Since the first iterations though, the project has gone through many updates to further expand upon the Reality Shift idea as a core mechanic. Our second iteration of the manor level was a simple five room level design. The mechanic was to find and gather a handful of ritual items to bring back to the main room. On our third iteration, we have made major changes to the project.
