Environment Artist: Deery
Team Roles and Responsibilities：
The diagram above illustrates the responsibilities of each member of our team.
We first sat down together to carefully review the GDD content for Scopophobia. We clarified what each of us needed to achieve within the game.
Yushan：
Yushan is responsible for the game’s development and programming. As there is no dedicated mechanic designer within the team, and the mechanics outlined in the GDD are already quite well-defined, Yushan has also taken on the role of mechanic design. She makes decisions regarding the mechanics based on her own expertise, implementing changes and adjustments as necessary.
Zixuan：
Zixuan is responsible for writing all in-game narratives and dialogue. As the Game Design Document (GDD) already contains a comprehensive backstory and a portion of dialogue content, Zixuan’s primary focus lies in crafting NPC-player interactions. Believing his task can be completed swiftly, Zixuan possesses solid artistic foundations and experience with UE5. He has indicated that he is available to assist anyone requiring support.
As this is Yushan’s first time using UE5, Zixuan, who has prior experience with the engine, believes he can collaborate with Yushan to troubleshoot and resolve any issues that arise.
Derry：
Deery is responsible for modelling all environments, possessing highly proficient modelling techniques. The GDD explicitly specifies the supermarket’s style (akin to Tesco). Consequently, Deery now has clear research objectives and reference points.
Junhwan：
Lee is responsible for character design. As our project is a 3D game, we aim for all characters to be rendered in 3D. However, while Lee possesses extensive experience in 2D character design, he has no prior exposure to 3D modelling. Consequently, we have yet to decide whether to utilise 3D or 2D characters. Nevertheless, he will commence work on the character designs.
If Lee opted for 3D, Derry indicated he could provide technical assistance to resolve the issues for Lee.
Our division of responsibilities was very clearly defined, swiftly establishing each team member’s scope of work and assigned tasks.
