Medieval Math is a Mobile VR application developed by Lucerna Studios from February - August 2018. I joined in April in the role of Project Manager, and Lead Designer for the start up. As Project Manager I coordinated with the CEO to plan initiatives for the continuing development of Medieval Math. I implemented a more agile strategy in the development, leading Sprint planning meetings, retrospectives and continuously managing the backlog. In addition to being Project Manager I also served as Lead Designer. I developed gameplay elements, handled documentation, and ensured that educational lessons were engaging and met CPALMS Standards.

SCREENSHOTS
Working at a very small educational game studio allowed me to wear many hats. I wrote all of our documentation throughout development. I designed the majority of the gameplay systems, enemy behaviors, and curriculum lessons, and I even got to design and create the levels. I scripted multiple systems from the skill trees to the arrow power-ups. I researched and developed gameplay curriculum lessons based on CPALMS standards for Florida Middle-schoolers. I worked along side the CEO to coordinate milestones, and helped write pitches to scale-up investors.
