Combat, Game Feel, and Physics Balancing: My primary responsibility was engineering the combat sandbox. This required fine-tuning individual object properties, stun recovery windows, and the knockback power of the player's punch. I established the variable ranges to differentiate the lightest and heaviest items, creating a diverse physics sandbox. While we originally planned to include object durability and specific stagger values for deeper balancing, timeline constraints meant these features were cut. This resulted in an interesting imbalance where smaller, lighter items became disproportionately lethal.

​Level and Environment Design: I designed and implemented several level layouts. Drawing from environmental research, I created some room layout oddities to break up the corporate monotony, such as a half-finished room filled with packed-up moving boxes, and a conference room full of office chairs.

Maintaining Systems Consistency: With multiple designers building rooms and tuning objects, I acted as the primary filter for mechanical and visual consistency. I ensured all physics variables set by other designers stayed within the established balancing ranges, and that the individual level designs flowed logically together to feel like a single, sprawling office building.

Production and Project Management: Alongside my design work, I facilitated constant communication between the design team and our solo programmer, ensuring that system development aligned perfectly with our level design and physics implementation schedules. I managed the team's Trello board to track task distribution and maintained all central design documentation within Confluence.
