BRETTON HAMILTON'S
GAME DESIGN
Game Design
The Adventure Pals is an epic adventure platformer fueled by imagination, friendship, and action-packed combat.
As Level Designer on The Adventure Pals, I was primarily responsible for designing and scripting levels for final chapters of the game using their in-house development tools. I channeled my background in game design to create engaging, novel, and humorous experiences the game would go on to be praised for by using and twisting mechanics the player would already be familiar with! As the final stretch of the game really ramps up the silliness, I used puzzle design and encounter design in tandem with research into comedy writing to set up moments of comical surprise and unexpected delight!

Other Games
Balam and the Spirit Within
As Game Designer for Balam and the Spirit Within I was responsible for the game's level design, combat design, AI prototyping, scripting, narrative direction, and user experience. As the key decision-maker across many non-gameplay elements, it was important that I put gameplay first.
