Hand of Fate 2

Hand of Fate 2 is a dungeon crawler set in a world of dark fantasy and was developed for Playstation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, and PC. The player is faced with mastering a living boardgame based around a deck of cards that they earn. Each of the 22 chapters (not including expansion content) includes unique cards, stories, and challenges for the player to overcome. Along the way, the player will recruit companions, earn weapons, unlock powerful artifacts and more. In addition, they’ll have ample opportunity to delve into the rich backstory that each character has. By managing their resources, solving puzzles, and successfully defeating their enemies in the heat of battle, the player will work their way towards the climatic ending.

As a gameplay and AI programmer, I was responsible for working closely with designers and artists to develop the core game mechanics. Most importantly, I accomplished the following:

• Shipped two expansions: The Servant and the Beast and A Cold Hearth
• Shipped modding content and the massive Combat Reforged update
• Developed two unique enemy races: the shadows and the briarfolk
• Assisted in the development of two companions: Veles and Cruel Keturah
• Rapidly integrated into an existing team and immediately began making meaningful contributions to a large code base and asset set
