I enhanced the Nightmare setting by customizing the camera's field of view to change when the player looks up. This, along with a focus on verticality, creates a cohesive atmosphere. Additionally, I fine-tuned camera and character elements to ensure an immersive player experience.

I created a captivating one-page script to convey the game's vision. Using Richard's Lemarchand's template from "A Playful Production Process," I transformed it into a detailed Excel chart for macro design. This chart guided the development of gameplay beats and essential details. I then used it to script events and dialogues in separate Excel sheets. Managing dialogue direction with voice actors and integrating it through the QADE plugin was my next step. Additionally, I implemented scripted events using QADE and applied custom blueprinting with timelines to bring objects to life.

Throughout the project, I curated essential content to tell the story for Explorer-type players. Leveraging Interactables and Shrines, I organized and visualized the list on Miro. Subsequently, I conducted tests in my GYM level to ensure effective implementation.
Interectables serve the purposes of hinting at the backstory and linking to reality.
Shrines serve the purpose of hinting at the origin of setting - nightmare, moral and rewards for exploration.
I created a captivating game demo presentation by writing a compelling script and practicing with my team to perfect my delivery. This enhanced my presentation skills significantly.
