I was tasked with building the Lego tech building and level scripting for “Castle Hassle”, the third

level of the main story arc. The level was already designed out, so I was responsible for scripting the core

level game play, and building the puzzles, narrating the player throughout. Both the exterior and Interior levels

had some complex technical scripting. The start of the interior level this introduced being the most

technical process, requiring a few prototypes to be made as this type of puzzle hadn’t been done before in a

Lego game.

I was tasked with the bonus mission 06 “Spook Tacular Parade Saga” with can be found in the main open

world game world. Using a set amount of unique characters throughout the mission you are tasked with fixing
