Sniper mission for the Arctic Fishing Village region in Kill Shot: Bravo. In this mission the player must kill an officer, but the officer is hidden until the player engages the enemies. Once the player engages them, the officer will appear, but the player must still take out the Gunner and melee enemies first. If the player takes too long, the officer will flee. Once the player kills all the gunners and melee enemies, a sniper appears to help direct the players attention to where the officer is standing.

The action-packed finale to the Casino Region in Kill Shot:Bravo! Very difficult mission that requires careful timing and precise aim to hit as many explosives as you can. It was a ton of fun to make!

Early Machine Gun mission for Region 39 of Kill Shot: Bravo. I designed it to be an easy mission, but the volume of melee units jumping toward the player down the alley gives the mission a sense of intensity. Energy shielded units provide cover for some of the enemies to get closer to the player. The snipers that appear periodically interrupt the player and force them to frantically search for the source of the laser, providing some white-knuckle moments in the midst of an otherwise simple "bullet hose" mission.

This mission requires the player to kill multiple sniper in a row. It is intended to be quite difficult, despite how straightforward it is. The only enemy is the snipers, who have escalating levels of armour, and the snipers spawn at a steady rate of 5 to 7 seconds. It is timed out so that the player can only miss one or two shots throughout the entire mission before the snipers begin to build up and overwhelm the player. So though the enemies appear at a steady rate, the intensity of the increases as the player gets further into the mission due to a sense of loss aversion. It is more of an endurance test than a puzzle. Creating the mission required many test passes so that every shot could be timed out perfectly. The speed of each shot, the time it takes to reload, the traversal time of the enemies, player rotation speed, and a little bit of wiggle room for a missed shot all needed to be taken into account so that the mission could ride that line between too easy, and impossibly hard.

The intent behind this mission is exactly what it would appear to be: a fun roller coaster! We add easier "Relief" missions throughout each region we release in order to give the player a break, especially after a particularly difficult mission. In this case, during the development of a "Mining" Region, one of the artists and I thought it would be fun to create an "underground roller-coaster in a sea of gold" (and maybe pay homage to Indiana Jones in the process). The first pass of this mission ended up being a lot harder than intended, and not in a good way. Enemies were difficult to track while moving at the high speed of the coaster. Also, the twists and turns that made the track interesting resulted in the player having major difficulty controlling their weapon. I added longer straight sections and slowed the player down at certain points to help mitigate this. I also placed enemy groups so that once a player turned corners or went down inclines, the enemies were right in front of them. Adding in a bunch of boxes of TNT helped make the mission easier as well while also adding to the action-movie flair of the mission.
