OPEN WORLDLEVEL DESIGNTRAVERSAL CHALLENGES
A world designed
to stay in motion
Designed half of Sunset Overdrive's open world, shaping districts, routes, landmarks, and traversal opportunities around the game's fast, expressive movement system.
I also designed half of the traversal challenges, creating focused tests that asked players to read the environment, connect movement mechanics, and maintain flow through the city.
