Quest for the Holy Trail (mix) is an isometric puzzle game developed as part of the 2025 Naughty Dog QA Game Jam. Instead of a player character, the game has the player take the role of an omnipotent being who might just be a child playing in their backyard. By interacting with objects in the environment, the player can help an ant NPC navigate through a series of levels filled with obstacles and hazards, where one wrong interaction can spell doom for the brave ant on his quest to find food for his colony.

I was one of two game designers on the project, alongside several artists and audio designers. My contributions included most of the in-engine work, but the brunt of my focus went toward building and scripting for our AI (including a state machine), level layouts, camera system, and UI.
