Overview

A survival-action game inspired by real-life events, Atomfall is set five years after the Windscale nuclear disaster in Northern England.

Explore the fictional quarantine zone, scavenge, craft, barter, fight and talk your way through a British countryside setting filled with bizarre characters, mysticism, cults, and rogue government agencies.

My Contributions

I contributed to several aspects of the game's combat, working closely with the design and AI teams to create engaging and responsive encounters. My work included implementing combat dialogue barks, assisting on AI behaviours and threat escalation systems, and collaborating on combat design, weapon balancing, and encounter tuning.

I also assisted in fine-tuning the aim assist system, helping to balance accessibility with a satisfying and responsive gameplay experience.
