AA INTERACTIVE HORROR NARRATIVE ADVENTURE PC / CONSOLE
THE DARK PICTURES ANTHOLOGY:
MAN OF MEDAN
GAME & LEVEL DESIGNER
A cinematic horror experience where every decision can mean life or death.
As a Game & Level Designer, I contributed to crafting tense, interactive sequences through level design, gameplay integration and narrative-driven player experiences.
01
MY ROLE &
CONTRIBUTIONS
As a Game Designer, I contributed to scene preparation and narrative implementation, from mapping character movements for motion capture planning to integrating dialogue choices, animation sequences and narrative progression within the STORM scene.
SCENE BLOCKING & PREPARATION
Created top-down scene layouts to define character movements and trajectories across gameplay and cinematic sequences, supporting motion capture planning.
DIALOGUE & CHOICE INTEGRATION
Integrated dialogue interactions and positioned Heart and Head choices to maintain narrative coherence throughout the STORM scene.
NARRATIVE SEQUENCING
Organized and integrated successive dialogue sequences, ensuring consistent narrative flow and preventing conflicting transitions.
ANIMATION INTEGRATION
Integrated character animations and verified their positioning within the game world to ensure spatial consistency across sequences.
02
SELECTED WORK
From early scene planning to narrative implementation, my contributions focused on translating scripted events into coherent, playable sequences.
Two areas illustrate this work: preparing character movements for motion capture and integrating the narrative flow of STORM.
SCENES BLOCKING
Preparing for Motion Capture
Translated scripted events into top-down scene representations, establishing character trajectories and spatial relationships to support the production of motion capture documentation.
STORM
Maintaining Narrative Continuity
Integrated dialogue choices, character animations and successive narrative sequences, with particular attention to choice placement, narrative consistency and uninterrupted scene progression.
03
DESIGN CHALLENGES
In a branching cinematic experience, even small integration decisions can affect narrative clarity and continuity.
My work required careful attention to dialogue choice placement, sequence transitions and spatial consistency, ensuring that scripted events unfolded as intended.
PRESERVING MEANINGFUL DIALOGUE CHOICES
Positioned Heart and Head dialogue choices at appropriate narrative moments, ensuring their classification and placement remained consistent with the script.
MAINTAINING A CONTINUOUS NARRATIVE FLOW
Coordinated successive dialogue sequences within STORM to preserve narrative order, prevent overlapping events and ensure coherent transitions.
TRANSLATING SCRIPTS INTO SPATIAL ACTION
Defined character trajectories through top-down scene planning, establishing a clear spatial reference for gameplay, cinematic sequences and motion capture preparation.
