Case Studies

Case Study 1

Task Goal

Bridge two contrasting scenes while maintaining player immersion. Transition the player smoothly from a high-intensity combat sequence into a desperate survival scenario.

Design Intent

Encourage teamwork even when they are under time pressure with slower mechanics. Players who fail to cooperate are led to a less rewarding gameplay path.

Result

Players gradually learn to pay attention to their allies rather than focusing only on enemies. Players who successfully follow allied instructions are rewarded with a more satisfying path in the multipath sequence.

Case Study 2

Task Goal

Create a brand new mechanic that supports or leads to a multipath feature.

Design Intent

Introduce the stealth mechanic by encouraging players to follow allied instructions while paying attention to environmental cues. Players who succeed are rewarded with a more engaging encounter and a higher mission score.

Result

Players learn to read environmental cues that introduce a new decision-making mechanic, leading to different gameplay paths.

Case 2 Gameplay Flow

Case Study 3

Task Goal

Solving core issues:

  1. Players were rushing directly into enemy positions, exposing both themselves and the captured ally to unnecessary risk.
  2. The sequence lacked any tactical decision-making.
  3. The scene makes the player forget the other ally team (Bravo team) also exists and doesn't understand the context.
Design Intent

Redesigned the scene into a Trojan ambush by using the enemies' radio and vehicle to impose as one of them and drive in to get closer, enabling a clean takedown of threats before allies are eliminated.

Result

Players now experience a more tactical and cinematic encounter, with a narrative flow that feels natural.

Case 3 Gameplay Flow
Outcome

Designed around 7 scenes, each with multiple variants, for the title.

Practical Unreal Engine 5 skills, including Flowgraph, from production work.

Stronger storytelling: learned to write narrative by thinking from each character's perspective and the overall picture of events.

Balancing through playtest loops and cross-team Scrum with animation, motion capture, and narrative teams.
