Technical Designer · Stockholm
Prototypes and implements his own work. Unreal and Unity, both at implementation level.
An online co-op FPS with a roguelike upgrade system built around Destiny-style raids. Players solve a raid mechanic across escalating encounters, then have to use it against the boss.
A precision platformer crossed with a bullet hell, where every card you take grants a buff and adds a bullet-firing tower to the arena: you build the difficulty you then have to survive.
Read the case studyA retro-style first-person action dungeon crawler where you play a magical creature escaping a collapsing dream.
Read the case studyI worked in games for roughly four years across five studios before coming to Futuregames for formal training.
I spent five studios' worth of time handing specs to programmers and waiting to find out whether the design worked. Hyper-casual concepting, live feature work, level design, VR serious games built to documentation standards strict enough to pass FDA and ISO inspection. The work was good. The loop was slow.
So I learned to build the first version myself, to stop being the bottleneck in front of the programmers. A design spec is a guess until something runs. When I can get a rough version playable in an afternoon, the wrong ideas die that afternoon, and the version I hand over is one that has already survived contact with the engine.
That is the difference between the designer I was at Somnium, where I held back from prototyping to stay out of the programmers' way, and the one who built FATE's boss encounter end to end.
VR serious games for cognitive assessment, training and rehabilitation. I authored documentation ahead of ISO and FDA quality inspections, contributing to the certification and approval of three games, and worked with the R&D department and scientific advisors to get research-based parameters into the designs. Prototyping in Unreal Engine 5. Led design on two athlete-focused projects.
Sole level designer on an unreleased commercial stealth and puzzle title with psychological horror elements, in Unreal Engine 5. Worked with the programmers on enemy and NPC AI behaviour, and contributed to the inventory and puzzle systems.
Hybrid-casual. Took lead design responsibilities after a team change: level redesign, economy balancing, and iteration on camera angles and object sizing. Designed a feature that shipped in a live update to Slice it All!
Hyper-casual concepting, pitched to a partner publisher's product manager on live calls. Worked in Unity to iterate on concepts selected for marketability testing, and used Machinations to calculate simple in-game economies. Several concepts were picked up under a pay-per-prototype model.
Hyper-casual trend analysis and concept pitching, using Sensor Tower and App Annie (later data.ai, now part of Sensor Tower) to support concept decisions.
