Rayman's Punch

I was the product owner of the entire production pipeline for the iconic Rayman's ability, the punch, used to destroy obstacles and collect items.

I took care of inter-departimental communication to manage the creation of the ability on every aspect, from the animation to the behavior in game.

I designed and implemented the behavior and the related tuning to achieve a precise game feel.

I moved between animators, tech-designers and UX designers in order to achieve the best result we could possibly deliver.

New Sparks

I was charged to design the new abilities for the two brand new sparks that appears in the DLC: Selfie and Cryoquake.

The first one is the very news of this DLC: it possesses the "Self-Service" ability, allowing the hero who activates it to create a clone of themselves, albeit with reduced HP and attack strength compared to the original. This clone is under the player's control and can execute the hero's basic abilities.

The second one wields the "Shockwave Frostbite" ability, creating three shockwaves around the hero.

I was in charge of their creation, from scratch. In concert with another designer, we thought and proposed different sparks, until we reached an agreement and then we implemented and mainteined their abilities and behavior in game, following the needed tuning.

AI

I was the product owner of the entire production pipeline for every NPC and roaming enemy of the game, from the planets villagers to the guard enemies.

I took care of inter-departimental communication to manage the creation of the characters on every aspect, from the animation to the behavior in game.

I precisely designed and implemented the behaviors, following the quest guidelines and intentions.

I moved between animators, narrative and quest designers to deliver the best result possible, so the characters resulted to be coherent and consistent within the game worlds.
