About

The Jurassic World Add-On brings the best parts of Jurassic World Adventures to players worlds. It features overworld spawning dinoaurs, a placeable outpost structure, three new vehicles, an enclosure system, dinosaur tranquing mechanics, and more.

My Role

I came on partway through development to rework the existing behaviors for a survival-focused experience and to implement a spawning system. The team was dissatisfied with vanilla spawn rules so I developed a fully custom spawning system to ensure a balanced and cohesive gameplay experience. Along with that I rewrote the entire behavior system to be modular and composable.

I also aided our other developers with the vehicle systems, progression mechanics, and structure placement visualization system. For an upcoming update I implemented a custom custom block update system to handle the creation of dynamic, block-based enclosures and the placement of entity-based schematic structures like doors and props.
