Agents of Influence

May 2025 - Present

Senior Game Development Intern

Project Details

Educational web browser game developed by Alterea Inc. made for classrooms to teach middle and high school students critical media literacy and how to combat misinformation.

Game Overview

Educational, narrative-driven spy-themed video game where players can learn critical thinking, digital literacy, and responsible media consumption while advancing through different missions consisting of research, analysis, and conversation minigames.

As a development intern, my role was split between authoring and maintaining documentation and leading the content insertion team. Due to my knowledge of the codebase and my familiarity with the technical architecture of the game, I was in charge of creating future onboarding documentation, as well as used as a resource for other interns with questions about proper in-engine implementation of new systems and mechanics. I also headed the content insertion process, creating a pipeline for turning script from the narrative team into a functioning game in Unity. 

My contributions included:

  • Documentation​

    • authored onboarding documentation for incoming developers explaining game architecture and approaches to modifications for designers and developers

    • created cross-team resources including a document explaining the 70+ scriptable object types and a spreadsheet tracking all imported assets

  • Content Insertion Pipeline

    • developed shortcuts in Google Sheets using JavaScript which allowed users to paste a formatted script and automatically fill out 3000+ cells of data

    • designed and iterated a Unity Editor tool that processed an imported CSV to create 400+ scriptable objects per mission, including links for sequencing and references to art assets and prefabs

    • updated and iterated the pipeline to accommodate changes to data objects within engine and newly introduced systems

  • Additional Tooling

    • created an in-engine tool that allowed bulk renaming assets to follow naming conventions​
