New World – Amazon Games

Visual Effects Contributions | 4 Titles Shipped

Over the course of four shipped titles in the New World series, I contributed real-time visual effects across a variety of gameplay areas, including NPCs, boss encounters, world events, and environmental systems.

I worked alongside teams at Amazon Games and Lost Boys Interactive, taking ownership of effects that were both gameplay-critical and visually cinematic. Below are a few key examples of my work:

Artemis – Boss FX

For the Artemis boss, I created several custom effects:

A glowing energy-ball effect on her hands to enhance her casting animations.
Impact FX for attacks and death events.
Additional environmental elements tied to her phase mechanics.

hand energy effects, impact FX, and environment enhancements.

Spring Bloom Event VFX

For the Spring Bloom seasonal event:

I designed environmental FX around the event areas.
Focused on color, pacing, and readability to align with the seasonal tone.
