1. Introduction
Ubisoft NEXT is an annual competition designed to celebrate the works of game development students in Ontario.
I had the honor of being awarded first place, which led to an incredible opportunity at Ubisoft Toronto, where I am currently contributing as a game designer.
2023’s competition revolved around designing a new companion for Far Cry. Approaching the challenge with a focus on problem solving, I defined specific design goals based on the game’s existing state, created comprehensive documents that discussed various aspects of the design, and proposed the final design via a live presentation, which was then followed by a technical interview.
“Junsu’s design ticked every box we were looking for. He thoroughly outlined his design, digging deep into his companion’s abilities, controls, synergies, systemic design, and outlining what choices the player would make in different gameplay situations.”
Further details about the competition can be found here.
