About
The Emerald Empire is an MMO game made within the Minecraft game engine using the Mythic Mobs mod plugin. It is Free-to-play with a pay-for-faster-progression model. The player mines to collect resources for armor, tool, and weapon upgrades and defeats enemies to gain greater reputation in the Emerald Empire. Allowing the player access to greater weapon, armor, and tool upgrades.

My Role:
As Combat Designer, my job is to create new enemies, manage and track the stats of current enemies and the level of impact of player tools and levels, and balance both enemies and player stats for an ideal user experience. Using Visual Studio JavaScript, I create unique enemies and their abilities. With Excel I track and measure enemy health and how many attacks from all levels of player equipment it takes to defeat these enemies.
​
As a narrative designer, I create and implement voice lines to be played to the player upon taking certain actions with NPCs. These dialogue lines are tracked with Excel and catagorized based on the type of action taken and the worded response.
What I made:
I scripted, designed, and balanced the health, power, unique skills, and rewards gained from the Pillager Faction. An elite and incredibly challenging-to-kill enemy faction with ten different units.
