Contributions
As part of the design team, I worked on a series of minigame concepts in line with the platform open-world design and overarching storyline, each concept focusing on different areas of the national curriculum for the age group.
I prototyped a few of these concepts, using in-house tools to add speak-to functionality. I also created different versions of existing concepts to focus on different areas of the curriculum, such as directions, conflict resolution, and colours.
