This Creation for Fallout 4 was a result of Bethesda approaching me with a request to create a piece of content that would tie together the various Enclave-themed pieces of content they had released to date.

I pitched the Enclave Remnants as a result of this. A quest that involved investigating a missing Caravan that was ambushed by Enclave troops.

Central to Enclave Remnants was a system I created that would, at runtime, evaluate what other Enclave-themed Creations the user had purchased from Bethesda and, if available, dynamically add said items to the Enclave enemies to use; such as armors, weapon skins and armor skins.

I also carried out level design on the project, creating 4 distinct Enclave encampments utilizing new art assets and turned one unused base-game Fallout 4 location into a dungeon to support the quest.

To support the theme of the Enclave Remnants entering the world, I also created a new Random Encounter framework that ensured the player would encounter these new hostiles throughout the game organically.

Additionally I worked alongside a production schedule, submitting an Alpha and Beta prior to delivering the final product while also working with Bethesda Game Studios’ Quality Assurance and internal development pipelines.
