North Atlantic Naval Gameplay Locations
Associate Lead Level Design
My time on Rogue was largely characterised by
training and leading a new group of level designers in creating the locations for the North Atlantic Naval Game play locations.
Specifically the caves, shipwrecks and villages of the world.
We approached a lot of them with the idea that we're creating incredible scenic playgrounds to explore, with little secrets tucked away in corners, and paths that felt satisfying to parkour through.
Below are just a few of my favourite places in the North Atlantic.

Mission Design
The Assassination of Samuel Smith
I scripted this mission to introduce two of Rogue's signature game play innovations for the series.
The Ice Ram and Reverse Boarding.
The mission sequence was paced to introduce both these elements, while utilizing the gameplay pillars made famous by the Assassin's series; Parkour, Combat and Ship sailing.
