Design with
intent.
I'm Tobi Alao, a game designer based in Nottingham. I work across world, combat and systems design, with a focus on ownership, clarity and the feel of the finished interaction.
From the first question to the final playtest.
I care about the distance between what a feature says it will do and what a player actually experiences. That means writing useful documentation, bringing the right disciplines into a conversation and being willing to change the design when evidence demands it.

Computer Science teaching
Teaching experience in secondary Computer Science, with an emphasis on explaining technical systems and assessing understanding.
Not everything happens behind a screen.
When I'm not designing systems or working on Re:Fracture, I like getting out on a board, playing games and finding inspiration in animation, music and the things people make. Those interests feed back into how I think about movement, expression and interaction.
Have something
worth discussing?
