Icarus is a session-based PvE survival game for up to eight co-op players or solo. The player is invited to explore a savage alien wilderness in the aftermath of terraforming gone wrong, where they must survive long enough to mine exotic matter, then return to orbit to craft more advanced tech.

I supported the NZ-based Rocketwerkz as a remote contractor in the role of Senior Game Designer leading up to their launch with various design tasks. In addition to contributing to regular playtests and giving overall design feedback, I used Blueprints to prototype and build: 

• Crafting systems

• Buff systems

• Game objects (such as the detector device that allows players to find specific minerals)

• Optimisation

• Fire (extinguishing) system (the whacker)

• Enemy spawning system
