The Scenario Creator is a standalone modding toolkit bundled with Rebel Inc on PC and sold as a seperate app on mobile, allowing players to build and share their own custom gameplay scenarios including combinations of new Governors, Gamemodes, Maps, and Challenges. Promised as part of the original Early Access pledges, Rebel Inc had grown substantially by the time development began, meaning a large and complex set of variables and gameplay elements accumulated over years of development needed to be surfaced through a single, approachable editing interface. It was developed from scratch as one of the last major updates before the 1.0 launch, and on a tight 6 month schedule.

I led the project as Designer and Producer from inception to launch.

Contributions

Design & UX

The core design challenge was distilling years of accumulated gameplay variables and mechanics into a comprehensive yet accessible editor granting maximum flexibility and creative freedom to players. I worked with the creative team to design a UX that worked across both PC and Mobile from the outset, ensuring the interface scaled appropriately between platforms and reducing the cost of the subsequent mobile port.

Production

I managed the project day to day, overseeing several beta testing waves and coordinating QA before sign-off for launch. I worked with the Community Manager to plan marketing and community communications around the release.

Mobile Port

Following the PC launch, the Scenario Creator was further developed as a separate paid application for iOS and Google Play. I continued as Designer on the mobile version, with the creative lead taking on production responsibilities, while I worked on new DLC and official scenarios to bundle with the creator app.
