Creating clear and concise level design documentation, making sure it’s clear for the development teams to read and understand the direction of the level, from its use of character mechanics, story beats, artistic details, audio cues, voice overs etc.

Implementing grey box level design blockouts to highlight level direction, expected use of mechanics, level scope, representations of environment and much more. Including in-engine annotations or storyboarding on where everything is expected to be placed for artists and code teams to work within.

Present levels to senior management, stakeholders and development team to walk through what is expected and discuss any potential risks involved, confirming the work detailed in the level design documentation and answer any questions related to the level.

Test, play, review and provide feedback at key production milestones for all levels being developed to make sure the work done meets the expected design.

Additional design related tasks across the wider game - Level navigation, collectables and prop placement, quest naming, tracking full playthrough requirements, implementing text strings etc.

I also got the opportunity to receive media and presentation training which then allowed me to represent the team at E3 2019, conducting gameplay presentations and taking part in interviews with well known publications during my time there.

Exploratory Testing: Play through a video game title and report and issues/bugs found on each new build/version created.

Confirmation Testing: Confirm previous issues/bugs reported are fixed or still open on newer builds/versions of the title.

Test Cases & Creation: Create a variety of test cases for myself and others to work through them on each new build/version of the title, focusing on each specific area of the title for in-depth testing i.e. level areas, AI, game mechanics, trophies etc.

TEARAWAY (PS VITA) - My role for this project was to be the Core Functionality Tester, in which I had multiple responsibilities from creating test cases and assigning them to other testers, update the knowledge base/wiki and advise testers on how to approach testing the title based on title design, concept and console functionality.

Extra Experience: Working closely with Video department on recording game footage required for trailers for big events such as E3.
