Intertwined

This Action RPG prototype features a rich, diverse world of fantasy, magic, challenging enemies, and beautiful story centered around our main protagonist. After venturing with his Witch he returns to his home world which has been ravaged by corruption. He must discover the source of the corruption and restore peace and order. The vision of this game is story-driven, featuring Souls-like combat mechanics, where Compassion is the main currency.

My main responsibilities entailed leading a team of 8 professionals, consisting of artists, programmers, and a sound designer. As the lead I acted as our team's Producer and Lead Gameplay Programmer since I was also a contributing member of the Programming Team.
