The Demon's Forge

Co-op dungeon crawler – designed from a blank page

// what I designed

Design contributions

• Design bible Created the design bible from scratch – the foundational document that defined Hunted's mechanics, tone, combat philosophy, and player experience goals. A design bible written at the start of a project sets the creative contract the whole team works from. Building it from a blank page on a new IP required making strong early decisions about what kind of game this would be and what it wouldn't.
• Greenlight prototype Built the initial prototype used to secure the publishing deal – a playable demonstration of Hunted's core loop, combat feel, and co-op dynamic. The prototype was the pitch made tangible, turning a design bible into something a publisher could actually play and evaluate.
• Core combat and encounter systems Designed the foundational combat mechanics and encounter structures – melee and ranged combat systems, enemy behavior, and the co-op dynamic between the warrior and archer roles.
