The oil rig landmark in Exoborne was one of the most striking and gameplay-rich points of interest in the world — a massive industrial structure washed ashore by a tsunami, surrounded by spilled oil and dramatic environmental storytelling. I was responsible for maintaining and polishing the buildings and structures, managing asset requests and backlog work while coordinating with outsourcing partners for my cell. I also collaborated closely with level design to develop areas from initial blockout all the way to final, game-ready quality, including comprehensive performance passes to ensure smooth gameplay in this demanding open-world extraction environment.
Here is some of my work that I've done throughout my time at Sharkmob:
• I was the Level Owner, coordinator, main implementer of the oil rig cell in the game.
• Main stakeholder for the buildings in a small pod with 3D art to implement on several areas and locations in all three maps.
• Conducted Level Art passes on areas and locations.
• Editor stability, performance representative for the Environment Team.
• Did the main pass on the home menu screen with art direction and lightning for the Beta public test.
