GRIT
GRIT is a Wild West–themed battle royale that blends fast-paced gunplay with horseback riding, dynamic traversal, and a variety of frontier biomes. The game emphasizes large, open environments and cinematic Western shootouts.
I joined Team GRIT early in development as the sole level designer, responsible for shaping the landscape, creating points of interest, and refining key areas of the map to support both gameplay flow and the overall artistic vision.
