Level 17 was a small independent game studio building The Ladon Device, a story-driven shoot-em-up, exploration, and crafting game. I joined as a multi-role media specialist, supporting the project across promotional video, gameplay capture, 3D asset work, motion graphics, screenshots, and web presentation.

The work was scrappy in the best way: part production shop, part game-adjacent design support, part Kickstarter media machine. It became an early example of the kind of hybrid work I kept returning to later: translating a complex creative project into the media, surfaces, and systems needed to help people understand it.
