The goal of the project?

The goal of FrostVeil Outpost was to create a first-person survival experience where players must explore a frozen research facility and locate a cure to stop a zombie outbreak. Players progress through multiple objectives, fight infected enemies, gather resources, and uncover the story behind the catastrophe while surviving increasingly dangerous encounters.

My contributions to the project

Narrative Direction & World-Building

As Narrative Director, I developed the game’s backstory, world-building, and overall mission structure to deliver a cohesive and immersive player experience.

Story Progression & Level Design

I designed story progression charts, organized gameplay objectives and checkpoints, and collaborated closely with the team on asset placement to enhance exploration and narrative pacing.

Development & Technical Support

I utilized Unreal Engine 5 and Perforce to support level construction, asset management, and team collaboration throughout the development cycle.

My favorite part of the project

One of my most significant contributions was creating the narrative framework that connected gameplay objectives with environmental storytelling. By coordinating checkpoint progression, story elements, and asset placement, I helped ensure players always had a clear sense of purpose while exploring the world and uncovering the events that led to the outbreak.

The project outcome

Following multiple rounds of playtesting, the team refined environmental layouts, enemy attack behaviors, and gameplay mechanics to improve overall balance and player engagement. The final project delivered a complete FPS experience featuring narrative-driven objectives, combat encounters, exploration, and progression systems that successfully guided players through the search for a cure while maintaining tension and immersion throughout the experience.
